Added a plugin for Netbird

[Gauss23]

This is an initial version of a plugin for Netbird.

I've also created a pull request for the Netbird port, as a small patch is currently needed.

Thank you for doing this—was considering taking a hack at a netbird plugin since I also packaged/maintain it for openSUSE..but I'm very glad someone else did it. :) Really really hope it gets merged soon.

@hrfried actually we're making it a requirement to have it included in FreeBSD ports first opnsense/ports#218 (comment)

If you know some ins and outs for maintaining a package maybe you can help out here too :)

[Gauss23]

I reached out to the Netbird team to see if they have any objections on me adding the port to FreeBSD. No answer yet.
Maybe I‘ll add it and do the handover later, when Netbird wants to maintain it?

From experience, authors do not maintain ports and packages for varying reasons and there should be no harm to go ahead with it indeed as it is in the interest of the authors, too.

Cheers,

Just do it, I was also maintaining Cacti port for long time not beeing the main dev over there :)

Ok, out of nowhere the Netbird now submitted Netbird to the FreeBSD Ports. But they have chosen security/netbird, Tailscale is also in security/. I was using net/ because I oriented on Zerotier, which is there.

I think it needs to be consistent, right? Port is security/netbird, then the plugin would also be security/netbird?

I would need to recreate the pull request. Did you maybe already had a chance to review the code for bigger issues? I would be happy to fix them.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=284877 looks like a netbird employee, oh well :)

yes, let's align with security/netbird then. it will save a lot of confusion later.
