Back Up Your Self-Hosted NetBird Installation

To back up your NetBird installation, you need to copy the configuration files and the Management service databases.

The configuration files are located in the folder where you ran the installation script. To back up, copy the files to a backup location:

mkdir backup
cp docker-compose.yml Caddyfile dashboard.env management.json relay.env backup/

For detailed information about each configuration file and its options, see the Configuration Files Reference.

To save the Management service databases, stop the Management service and copy the files from the store directory:

docker compose stop management
docker compose cp -a management:/var/lib/netbird/ backup/
docker compose start management
