Zerotier-One

Hi guys,

I've been using Solus on and off for a few years now and I've recently come back and seem to be quiet settled on it. One bit of software that I really would like to see on Solus is Zerotier-One.
I have seen this as a snap package and have installed it but cant seem to get it to work - would this be an easy thing to package directly into Solus? If so, how does one go about doing that?

You can request packages by following the instructions here: https://getsol.us/articles/packaging/request-a-package/en/

However with ZeroTier it has already been requested. It was accepted but no one has stepped up to take on the responsibility of packaging / maintaining it (Anyone can do this). https://dev.getsol.us/T5498

If you are inclined to give this a shot yourself you can read about how here: https://getsol.us/articles/packaging/

Harvey thanks for your reply. I'll take a look at the packaging info.

In the mean time who would be the best person to speak about the snap package not correct working. I'm getting a error that /snap/bin entry isn't added to the PATH environment variable.

Not sure who handles snap stuff.

If you don't get an answer on the forum. The official bug tracker for Solus is here: https://dev.getsol.us

Girtablulu thanks for your reply, I'll give it a go when I get home from work and get back to you on result.

I wasn't lucky with that snap package either but I installed it successfully on my Solus notebook and desktop. Just build it from the github repository of ZeroTier.
Here are the steps I documented:

sudo su
eopkg install systemd-devel llvm-clang -y

mkdir /opt
cd /opt 

git clone https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne.git
cd ZeroTierOne

make
make selftest
make install

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/master/debian/zerotier-one.service -O /etc/systemd/system/zerotier.service

systemctl enable zerotier
systemctl start zerotier

Now join a network using this command: zerotier-cli join networkcode
