Create a public network #5

Closed Fastidious closed 6 years ago

Fastidious commented 6 years ago

Is the ability to create a public network there, but I am missing it? Or is it something not available now, but planned for future enhancements? Thanks much!

key-networks commented 6 years ago

It's not available right now. I'm just wondering about the use case if you can already do it via ZeroTier Central? I would think that ztncui would be of more interest to people who want to set up secured networks that they can control.

Fastidious commented 6 years ago

@key-networks when talking about control, having the ability to create public networks while not having to depend on ZeroTier is having more control, no? :-) It is about being able to do, locally, as much as possible without relying on ZeroTier.

chotaire commented 6 years ago

There is a clear use case for this. While zerotier-one already allows to orbit your own moons, it has been announced that it will soon also allow to create isolated planets without actually editing the source. This will allow fully autonomous zerotier-one networks whereas ztncui should be supporting such scenarios - ZeroTIer Central will as such not be used on a private ZeroTier infrastructure.

chotaire commented 6 years ago

Additionally, the already existing ability to create and orbit own moons does already allow a ZeroTier infrastructure to be run on a network without connectivity to planets. Moons and leafs will attempt to contact planets, but they will happily serve without if paths to moons are known.

If you are interested in such a setup, please study https://www.zerotier.com/manual.shtml#4_4 ;)

key-networks commented 6 years ago

Fair enough. I'm a bit swamped with work atm. Will look at it when I have a chance.

@Fastidious, this feature has been added under network detail. Could you please test as follows and give me your feedback?

Please try this for RPM installation -

If it is a fresh installation: sudo yum install https://download.key-networks.com/el7/ztncui/1/ztncui-release-1-1.noarch.rpm -y

For fresh installation or upgrade: sudo yum --enablerepo=ztncui-testing install ztncui

Follow https://key-networks.com/ztncui/#installation if you need further details.

Let me know if you need a DEB package instead for testing.

chotaire commented 6 years ago

I found the option called "private" in network "detail". I was able to check / uncheck and the details were being updated.

Fastidious commented 6 years ago

Could I have a DEB package? Thanks!

key-networks commented 6 years ago

Please try this: https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/key-networks/deb/ztncui/1/x86_64/ztncui_0.5.1_amd64.deb

key-networks commented 6 years ago

@Fastidious did you get the DEB package? How did it go?

Fastidious commented 6 years ago

Sorry, @key-networks, I am on finals, and had had no time to test. I got the package, hopefully will install it tomorrow. Thanks!

key-networks commented 6 years ago

@Fastidious, no problem - when you have time.

sunfic commented 6 years ago

I tested the DEB package with public network settings and it is working good.

key-networks commented 6 years ago

@sunfic - thanks for your feedback.
