ZeroTier RPM Installer Script Failing

Do you have anything set up to ssh into these machines? If so you might be able to ssh in and run the MSI installer with a single command line. Maybe we can create a Windows equivalent of
curl|bash?(
curl|bashis proof that software deployment across the diverse Linux ecosystem is not that much better than Windows or Mac... but at least Linux being fully OSS has an excuse.) -

And the Linux approach is STILL easier. If you were comparing a single OS (CentOS or Ubuntu) to Windows you'd have no reason for that approach.
Plus you are setting up repos, not just deploying. So you are handling a family of OSes to a full order or magnitude more powerful and complex of an approach than you are even trying to do on Windows.
-
Agreed. Linux is fragmented into many distributions and it's still easier.
-
The most expensive piece of software ZeroTier, Inc. has ever purchased is Advanced Installer, a Windows installer builder. We needed the full enterprise version. Worth every penny.
-
Actually I'm heading over to their site to see what kind of auto-update stuff they have. I know they have something. If it's included we might start using it.
-
GPO works great as SAM said, but even if you can't use GPO you can use products such as PDQ Deploy.

And they have to be setup and maintained.

Get ZeroTier added to Chocolatey. Then I will be happy. I already update most things with Chocolatey now.

I would love to see ZeroTier in the Chocolatey repos, and I bet that it would encourage adoption, too, because people like to try things that they find in there.
-
Will check that out... thanks!
The real problem is that none of us use Windows for our primary environment. We use Macs for desktop and Linux for servers/cloud, so that's where the love goes. But the entire SMB and corporate world uses Windows so we do need to spend more time on that platform.
-
Yeah Chocolatey looks cool but the site looks like it was designed in the 2000s! So not hipster enough for us.
-
Chocolatey is like the YUM of the Windows world.
-
Yeah, I think getting this into there is a good idea. We can probably just wrap our MSI.
We also probably want to make our CLI easier to use on Windows. Right now it's a PITA to invoke it. We're working on a much better CLI too.
-
I've long been a Chocolatey fan. It's a great idea.
-
It reminds me more of Homebrew (Mac) than yum.

Looks like Chocolatey packaging is easy. Coming soon.

Awesome. Looking forward to adding this to my process.
-
Wow... A vendor listening to its user base... Nice to actually see it in action!

Sweet!!

I've got 3 computers running on ZeroTier currently, had a number of them come and go from my ZT network. Got them all updated to the current version today, but I'm still getting the "Your network contains members running versions older than 1.1.6. These won't be able to receive routes other than those for assigned IPs and will not be able to reach containers behind 6PLANE-addressed hosts" notice when I log into the control panel. Would that be expected? (Thinking one of the computers that was formerly in my ZT network might be causing it?)
