This Is A Work In Progress and a Learning Experience: fully working at this time

Can be used as a starting base for other images to include Zerotier functionality.

ZeroTier One Docker Image

This repository contains the necessary files to build and run a ZeroTier One image using both Podman and Docker. The setup includes a Containerfile and a podman-compose.yml file (rename to Dockerfile &docker-compose.yml if using Docker and Docker-Compose.

Getting Started

Overview

1. Clone the Repository: Fetch the files from GitHub.
2. Build the Image: Create the Docker/Podman image.
3. Configuration: Adjust settings for your environment.
4. Running the Container: Start your ZeroTier container.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Docker or Podman
• docker-compose or podman-compose respecfully
• curl
• git (for cloning this repository)

1. Clone the Repository

From in your target directory, clone the repository from GitHub and optionally set your own folder name:

git clone https://github.com/jwalk9000/turbonet-zerotier.git [your-folder-name] 
cd [your-folder-name] 

2. Build the Image

Navigate to the directory containing the build file: Containerfile for podman, rename to Dockerfile for Docker:

cd /path/to/Buildfile 

Using Docker

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t myzerotierimage . 

Using Podman

Build the Podman image:

podman build -t myzerotierimage . 

Change myzerotierimage to any name you choose, remember to change the image name in the compose.yml to match.

3. Configuration

Network ID

Set your ZeroTier Network ID in the compose.yml file:

environment: 
- ZEROTIER_NETWORK_ID=<YOUR_NETWORK_ID> 

Replace <YOUR_NETWORK_ID> with your actual ZeroTier Network ID.

Persistant Data

Set the local machine director in the compose.yml file:

volumes:
 - /home/podman/zerotier/data:/var/lib/zerotier-one

Replace /home/podman/zerotier/ with where you want persistant data to be saved.

4. Running the Container

Using Podman

Run the Podman container with podman-compose:

podman-compose up -d 

Using Docker

Run the Docker container with docker-compose:

docker-compose up -d 

Notes

• The Containerfile installs the necessary packages, and sets up ZeroTier One.
• The podman-compose.yml file maps the necessary devices and ports, ensures the container joins your specified ZeroTier network, and that your configuration data is persisted.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

1. Check the container logs:

docker logs myzerotiercontainer 

or

podman logs myzerotiercontainer 

2. Ensure that your network configurations allow ZeroTier traffic.
