ZeroTier Network Controller in Docker



ZeroTier networks are set up and configured on a ZeroTier network controller. You can either use the network controllers hosted by ZeroTier or set up your own standalone network controller. Setting up a standalone network controller is quite simple – just install the ZeroTier One software and follow these instructions to install ztncui on a Linux machine or just try out the Docker image which includes ZeroTier One.

  1. If am using cloudflare tunnel because my nginx is giving me an internal error. Can I use zerotier to stream video between devices inside the zerotier network?

  2. Love your videos, i have mine up and running yet I use the Zero Trust (cloud flare) "port forwarding". My question is when i expose the 3443 port on cloud flare I get an error 502 from the host. Yet when i plug in: https://localhost:3443 on my network GUI dash comes up with no issue. Not sure if im doing something wrong. — Again, thanks for these videos it has made my understanding that you can do these things on your own. Have a good one.

  3. Thanks for the video and the dockerfile! Connecting to ZeroTier server is increasingly harder in my area and self hosting saved my life😶‍🌫 Network controller seems to be the only self-hosting solution that supports joining from iOS and iPadOS devices.

  4. I can't see "PreferencesView" and "ZeroTier Central" options into my zerotier client (version 1.8.1 and 1.8.3) how to activate these options @DB Tech ?

  5. Thanks a lot for this great tutorial.As in your video, the status of my peers is OFFLINE when they are actually online and can ping each other. Is the connection by any chance with the root servers and not via the selfhosted controller?

  6. Wow this is the perfect channel for me. So I see alot of the comments state that you take requests and I have a mission impossible for you.

    I live in Ethiopia where public IP address' are extremely expensive. And the only decent and affordable internet connections are 4g. I have a home server with 12tb of data on it and here is what I want.

    A way to link the server to a public IP so I can access it without needing zero tier installed on the client.

  7. Does this method require a ZT account? I understand you will need a ZT account to get access to the API key, but is that needed for the standalone to function? Will anything propagate back to the ZT servers? Thanks for the video.

  8. Will ZeroTier work on Synology with DSM 7?
    Looks like DSM 7 blocks third side packages that aren't signed by Synology to access root level.

  9. I didn't get why we're still using the zerotier website for the api key??
    if we install it on a vps

  10. Can you make a video how to deploy and expose containers on internet, from home if we have a normal consumer connection with dynamic ip that change every x hours?

  11. Hi! one question, when I try to deploy the stacks on portainer, its says: Deployment error because of the version. Version 3 is not supported. How can you deploy a version 3 stack on portainer?. Thanks
