Installing ZeroTier on Fedora

JaredBusch

Installing ZeroTier on Fedora is a snap.

curl -s 'https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x1657198823E52A61' | gpg2 --import && if z=$(curl -s 'https://install.zerotier.com/' | gpg2); then echo "$z" | sudo bash; fi

When it is all done, you will see your ID.

Installed:
  zerotier-one.x86_64 1.2.4-1.el7.centos

It's very good stuff. We used it till we phased out needing VPNs.

dafyre

I'm using ZT to connect my home lab and my hosted lab to have one big network to tinker with. It works great for that kind of stuff too.

@scottalanmiller how do you not have VPN now?

Nope, none.

Methinks he's looking for an explanation of how you guys got rid of VPN.

Just no need for it. Try it in reverse, what do you have that makes you want a VPN?

Posting from my new Fedora workstation!

Trying to install ZeroTier as per this guide. As soon as I issue the first command, I get this:

[adam@localhost ~]$ curl -s 'https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x1657198823E52A61' | gpg2 --import && if z=$(curl -s 'https://install.zerotier.com/' | gpg2); then echo "$z" | sudo bash; fi
gpg: directory '/home/adam/.gnupg' created
gpg: keybox '/home/adam/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' created
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

What am I missing?

Don't use the GPG signed install thing.

AdamF

@jaredbusch That worked. I wonder why it's not working with gpg.

I've never cared enough to check because I trust ZT.

I assume because I have never setup GPG on my desktop.

AdamF

@jaredbusch

Yep, I don't really care either. It works, so that's OK.
