Installer Doesn’t Work on EndeavourOS

[ryleu]

Required

• What you expect to be happening.

ZeroTier should install.

• What is actually happening?

The installer fails because of an unrecognized distro.

• Any steps to reproduce the error.

Install EndeavourOS. Try to install ZeroTier. Notice the error.

• Any screenshots that would help us out.

It’s a fairly straightforward issue, so these shouldn’t be necessary.

Additional information

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• EndeavourOS (rolling release)
• ZeroTier Version: none

Additional context

• Have you tried screaming into your router?

Yes, but for an unrelated issue. ZeroTier actually works fine on EndeavourOS, the installer just isn’t able to detect it as an arch-based distro. I would recommend getting ZeroTier on Flatpak, AUR, Snap, or literally anything other than the installer, but I know that this is difficult.

If you just cat /etc/lsb-release, you can grep for EndeavourOS. I don’t think you need to set up any automatic updates, unless you want to do that on AUR (which I would recommend).

zerotier is in the arch community repo. Does endeavour not use that?

pacman -Ss zerotier-one
community/zerotier-one 1.6.6-1 [installed: 1.6.5-1]

I'm such an idiot. Let me guess. There are instructions on the website, aren't there?

The installer should just run sudo pacman -Sy zerotier-one if it detects an Arch distro.
