Tools: Install NetBird on openSUSE MicroOS (2026)

Prerequisites

Configure the Remote host

Install NetBird binary

Restore the SELinux file contexts

Setup the connection with setup-key: The official NetBird installation puts the binary in /usr/bin/netbird. Because /usr/bin is read-only, you'll need to remount it as read-write before running the curl installation script. Because SELinux is active by default on openSUSE, a relabeling of the NetBird binary is required for the systemd service to function properly. 1) Resets file security contexts to their default values: 2) Verify that the context is set to unconfined_u:object_r:bin_t:s0: 3) Exist the shell and reboot: 4) After a reboot, NetBird should start up automatically: Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use. Hide child comments as well For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
