+NetBird comes from the AUR as `netbird-bin` and `netbird-ui-bin`. The package
+ships a templated `netbird@.service` whose socket lives at
+`/var/run/netbird/<instance>.sock`, while the `netbird` CLI and the tray app
+look for `/var/run/netbird.sock`. `install.sh` adds a drop-in that moves the
+socket to the default path and enables `netbird@main.service`, so
+`netbird up` and the tray app work with no extra flags. The service starts on
+the next boot, or now with `sudo systemctl start netbird@main`.
 
 `install.sh` makes them the default for their file types through `xdg-mime`,
