A Linux front-end for ZeroTier
You can download the software from the AUR.
paru -S zerotier-gui-git
If you are in an Ubuntu/Debian based distribution, you can download the source code and run the make_deb.sh script.
./make_deb.sh
You may need to mark it as executable first:
chmod +x make_deb.sh
The script must be ran on the project's root folder, make sure to cd into it.
The script will generate a ZeroTier-GUI.deb package in the root directory. Simply install it with sudo apt install ./ZeroTier-GUI.deb.
This alternative aims to make ZeroTier-GUI available for multiple platforms using immutable infrastructure benefits, to avoid unexpected results depending where you are running these commands above.
- install docker
- install Make (if not available)
With Docker and Makefile available, you just need to run the following command:
make run
The expected result both rpm and deb files in project root. If you don't have Make available, you can run these commands line by line, as follows:
docker build . -t zero-tier-platforms-build:latest
docker create -ti --rm --name zero-tier-platforms-build zero-tier-platforms-build bash
docker cp zero-tier-platforms-build:/tmp/ZeroTier-GUI.deb ZeroTier-GUI.deb
docker cp zero-tier-platforms-build:/tmp/ZeroTier-GUI.rpm ZeroTier-GUI.rpm
docker rm -f zero-tier-platforms-build
None of the packages contains the back-end, zerotier-one. Arch has it in the community repo. For Ubuntu based distributions, you'll need to install it manually from their website. On top of that, you'll need python3.6 or greater, and the tkinter module. This however should be handled by the packaging software. Service management depends on SystemD. You will not be able to enable or disable the ZeroTier service without it.
