Description:

Backport of PR for 25.12:

🧪 Run Testing Details

@egc112, can you please confirm it's working in OpenWrt 25.12? #28721 (comment)

✅ Formalities

  • I have reviewed the CONTRIBUTING.md file for detailed contributing guidelines.

If your PR contains a patch:

  • It can be applied using git am
  • It has been refreshed to avoid offsets, fuzzes, etc., using 
    make package/<your-package>/refresh V=s
  • It is structured in a way that it is potentially upstreamable
    (e.g., subject line, commit description, etc.)
    We must try to upstream patches to reduce maintenance burden.

netbird: move state file to reduce storage wear
4462654 
Add `NB_DNS_STATE_FILE="/var/lib/netbird/state.json"` to the init
environment. This moves the state from the directory
`/root/.config/netbird` to the file `/var/lib/netbird/state.json` to
avoid storage wear. Note: the file is not preserved across reboots.

The state file contains information such as locally disabled routes and
other data primarily useful for desktop clients. In OpenWrt setups,
these changes are normally handled by the NetBird `management` server.
This matches the behavior prior to `netbird` v0.52.x, I have not
received any reports that this file caused problems before, so it is
unlikely to cause issues now.

The previous state file `/root/.config/netbird/state.json` can be removed.

netbird: update to 0.61.2 (breaking change)
c740419 
Changelog: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/tag/v0.61.2

The second release of `netbird` that introduces a breaking change[1].
A backport will be provided for OpenWrt 25.12 but not for OpenWrt 24.10,
since OpenWrt 25.12 has not been released yet.

NetBird adds **fine-grained SSH access control**[2].

Self-hosters must update both the `management` and `dashboard`[3].

ab91a14 
Changelog: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/tag/v0.66.2

NetBird `v0.66.x` adds support for exposing a local HTTP service

self-hosted deployments. Cloud support is coming.

Changelog: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/tag/v0.65.3

coming soon.

Important: pre-shared keys or Rosenpass are currently incompatible with
the reverse proxy feature.

@wehagy I think you need to add [25.12] to the title, otherwise this issue might get closed by someone thinking this is a duplicate of #28589 .

Thanks for the reminder, but I'm trying to forget the prefix. Old habits die hard, and thanks to George, after the bot runs this will be automatically tagged.
