[Feature Request] alpine 3.18 package is missing

[giulianozor]

Please, Can you add the package to alpine 3.18 repository ?

Thank you!

[update] I manually downloaded the apks from the 3.17 community repository and installed them manually and it seems to work fine

wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.17/community/x86_64/zerotier-one-openrc-1.10.2-r0.apk
wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.17/community/x86_64/zerotier-one-1.10.2-r0.apk
sudo apk add zerotier-one-1.10.2-r0.apk 
sudo apk add zerotier-one-openrc-1.10.2-r0.apk 
sudo rc-update add zerotier-one
sudo service zerotier-one start

Just to add since I did some digging: The cause was that alpine ports need to be an open source license, which zerotier isn't.

Not really a fix for this unless zerotier hosts a proper alpine repo,

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Package_policies

"The license of the program should be based on the licenses approved by the Free Software Foundation or OSI."

Seems whoever initially submitted the package didn't look closely and put it in as 'GPL-3.0-or-later', when it should have been 'BUSL-1.1'.

Seconding this.

Even if we can't have ZeroTier in the Alpine Linux package manager, it would be nice if the developers could provide standalone packages like they do for Debian/RPM.

Still missing in Alpine 3.19.

...and 3.20

+1 no ZeroTier for 3.20.

Packages or build instructions would be great to have for Alpine.

Yeah I don't think this is going to happen folks. It's clear that there's a license conflict here, so for the areas I care about this, I'mm just going to migrate away from Alpine Linux and towards kubernetes implementations with the already-available docker images. That way I don't have to deal with the junk that is Alpine Linux (ugh their default logging enrages me so much).

@BloodyIron alpine supports 3rd party repos. This would be trivially possible if zero tier hosted their own built packages somewhere so we could add the url

I'm just going to move away from Alpine Linux, I'm having more and more problems with it.
