Zerotier packages for CHR ?

Hello,
I want to replicate one of my arm64 config to VM (on proxmox if matter with dedicated passthrough WAN card).
But I can’t find Zerotier packages for CHR :frowning:
It is available only for arm/arm64…

Any plans to add it?

I’m wondering if I should buy a CHR license … or buy another arm64 hardware :frowning:

You can run Zerotier in a container on CHR.

I’ve had success with this one:

https://github.com/zyclonite/zerotier-docker

Instead of using a seperate subnet for the veth interface needed for Docker I just added the veth interface to the existing bridge.

Probably not good practice but it works! Change IP, Bridge names, interface name and disk to suit:

/interface/veth/add name=veth1 address=10.13.0.2/24 gateway=10.13.0.1
/interface/bridge/port add bridge=bridge1 interface=veth1
/container/envs/add key=net name=zt value=host
/container/envs/add key=cap-add name=zt value=NET_ADMIN
/container/envs/add key=device name=zt value=/dev/net/tun
/container/config/set registry-url=https://registry-1.docker.io tmpdir=disk1/pull
/container/add remote-image=zyclonite/zerotier:latest interface=veth1 root-dir=disk1/zerotier envlist=zt

Then shell into your container and join your Zerotier Network.

You can use the IP address of the Zerotier network as a gateway to the networks attached or accessible to your CHR.

Yes, we can. Please take a look at this article: MikroTik CHR ZeroTire Network Controller with UI.
It explains how it can be done for zerotier self-hosted controller, but it includes the zerotier-one. It is working perfectly.

Hello,

We 'd like to use ZeroTier on CHR without need to use a container.
One year after the original post, did you have a plan to release a native package for this plateform ?

Same question - Zerotier packages for CHR x86.

We already have a way to use CHR on ARM, but it is not available yet on AWS.
We would need more wide spread of the CHR ARM or Zerotier on x86 may cover more cloud platforms.

Up for that.

While ZT docker works on my old CHR, I’m not able to run it on a freshly installed CHR. Not even mentioning that container management in MikroTik is quirky.

After days of trying, I had to go with OPNsense. :frowning:
