NetBird v0.72.2 - Optimized Small Builds

This release contains highly optimized NetBird client binaries built with size reduction techniques:

Size Optimization Features

  • Stripped binaries: Built with -s -w flags (removes debug symbols and symbol table)
  • Disabled inlining: -gcflags="all=-l" for better compression
  • UPX compression: Maximum compression with --lzma --best (Linux only)
  • Static compilation: CGO_ENABLED=0 for portability

Available Platforms

  • Linux: amd64, arm64, armv7, 386, mips, mipsle, mips64, mips64le
  • Windows: amd64, arm64
  • macOS: amd64, arm64

Binary Variants

Each Linux platform has two versions:

  • Standard: Optimized with -s -w flags
  • UPX: Further compressed with UPX (smaller but slower startup)

Note: UPX compression is not applied to:

  • Windows binaries (compatibility)
  • macOS binaries (UPX issues)
  • mips64/mips64le (UPX limitations)

Expected Size Reduction

Based on testing:

  • Standard build: ~26MB → ~15MB (42% reduction)
  • UPX compressed: ~26MB → ~5MB (81% reduction)
