We are looking into this. We may be able to support as a Docker application.

Hi, have the same problem on DS220+ as well running on DSM7 beta. Waiting eagerly for a fix.

I was able to get it to work on my DS920+ using docker. I used this image - https://hub.docker.com/r/henrist/zerotier-one

I would have to SSH into it and get root privileges to run the docker command

$ sudo su
# docker run \
  -d \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --name zerotier-one \
  --device /dev/net/tun \
  --net host \
  --cap-add NET_ADMIN \
  --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
  -v <DIRECTORY_FOR_STORING_CONFIG>:/var/lib/zerotier-one \
  henrist/zerotier-one

Works like a charm! You don't get the UI and have to interact via the CLI that's the only downside.

Thanks, will look into this.

This is an old issue but before I close it I want to link the discussion to our official docker instructions for DSM 7. We may eventually have a native package again but this is what we currently recommend for everyone that has moved onto DSM 7.
