I just installed NetBird on a VPS using the Self-Hosting Quickstart Guide. Now I want to connect the VPS using Netbird to another client. When I also use Docker to register the VPS as a Netbird peer the whole network gets messed up because now the server and the client try to manage the network. So how am I supposed to register the VPS as a netbird peer to connect it to other peers?

I’m not quite sure what you are asking but I run the Netbird management containers containers on a server and also run a native client alongside them to have the server itself also perform as a peer. Is that what you are looking to do above?

Yes, but I also want to run the client in a container and the docs recommend to run the container using network_mode: host. And I suspect this creates a conflict in networks. So I want to have Netbird server, Netbird client and Nginx Proxy Manager all in containers share the same network.
