2026-10-03T09:54:04Z
<p>add bird-lg page</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>BIRD looking glass in Go, for better maintainability, easier deployment & smaller memory footprint.<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
<br />
=== Frontend ===<br />
The fqdn of the routers is generated by the frontend (<code>$server-hostname.$domain</code>, for example <code>fra1.noc.example.com</code>)<br />
{{File|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|3=services = {<br />
bird-lg = {<br />
frontend = {<br />
domain = noc.example.com; # domain of the routers<br />
enable = true;<br />
servers = [ "fra1" "ams1" ]; # hostnames of the routers<br />
protocolFilter = [<br />
"bgp"<br />
"static"<br />
];<br />
listenAddresses = [ "[::1]:15000" ]; # listen address of the frontend<br />
proxyPort = 18000; # port on which the proxy servers (routers) are listening on<br />
navbar = {<br />
brand = "example networks"; # branding in the top left corner<br />
};<br />
};<br />
};<br />
};|lang=nixos}}<br />
<br />
=== Proxy ===<br />
The proxy runs on all bird router instances<br />
{{File|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|3=services.bird-lg.proxy = {<br />
enable = true;<br />
listenAddresses = [ "18000" ]; # listen on all interfaces<br />
};|lang=nixos}}<br />
