ZeroTier network controller user interface in a Docker container

This is to build a Docker image that contains ZeroTier One and ztncui to set up a standalone ZeroTier network controller with a web user interface in a container.

Build yourself

We support aarch64 (arm64/v8), amd64 by default.

Armv7(means armhf) might work, but is not tested.

Others are unsupported.

$ git clone https://github.com/kmahyyg/ztncui-aio
$ docker build . --build-arg OVERLAY_S6_ARCH=<one of aarch64,x86_64> -t ghcr.io/kmahyyg/ztncui-aio:latest

Change NODEJS_MAJOR variable in Dockerfile to use different nodejs version.

Never use node_lts.x as your installation script of nodejs whose version might changed without further notice due to time shift.

Usage

Golang auto-mkworld (already embedded in docker image)

This feature allows you to generate a planet file without using C code and compiler.

Also, due to limitation of IPC of Zerotier-One UI and multiple issues, we do NOT support customized port, you can ONLY use port 9993/udp here.

Set the following environment variable when create the container, and according to your needs:

The reference config file can be found on ztnodeid/assets/mkworld.conf.json.

You could also define yourself, and check the stdout output to get C header of customized planet. After that, you will find the custom planet file under http file server root and also ca certificate.

The configuration JSON can be understand like this:

{
    "rootNodes": [   // array of node, can be multiple
        {
            "comments": "amsterdam official",   // node object, comment, will auto generate if AUTOGEN_PLANET=1
            "identity": "992fcf1db7:0:206ed59350b31916f749a1f85dffb3a8787dcbf83b8c6e9448d4e3ea0e3369301be716c3609344a9d1533850fb4460c50af43322bcfc8e13d3301a1f1003ceb6",  
            // node identity.public ^^ , if node is not initialized, will initialize at the container start
            "endpoints": [
                "195.181.173.159/443",   // node service location, in format: ip/port, will auto generate if AUTOGEN_PLANET=1
                "2a02:6ea0:c024::/443"   // must be less than or equal to two endpoints, one for IPv4, one for IPv6. if you have multiple IP, set multiple node with different identity.
            ]
        }
    ],
    "signing": [
        "previous.c25519",   // planet signing key, if not exist, will generate
        "current.c25519"   // same, used for iteration and update
    ],
    "output": "planet.custom",   // output filename
    "plID": 0,    // planet numeric ID, if you don't know, do not modify, and set plRecommend to true
    "plBirth": 0,  // planet creation timestamp, if you don't know, do not modify, and set plRecommend to true
    "plRecommend": true  // set plRecommend to true, auto-recommend plID, plBirth value. For more details, read mkworld source code in zerotier-one official repo
}

Docker image

$ git clone https://github.com/kmahyyg/ztncui-aio # to get a copy of denv file, otherwise make your own
$ docker pull ghcr.io/kmahyyg/ztncui-aio

    ghcr.io/kmahyyg/ztncui-aio # /mydata above is the data folder that you use to save the supporting files

Supported Configuration using local persistent storage

For ZTNCUI: https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui

Set the following environment variable when create the container, and according to your needs:

Note: If you do NOT set HTTP_ALL_INTERFACES, the 3000 port will only get listened inside container.

This application does NOT have a built-in protection mechanism against brute-force attack, you should NOT directly expose it on the internet.

And you should ALWAYS NOT use a weak password.

Set the following environment variable when create the container, and according to your needs:

Also, this image exposed an http server at port 3180, you could save file in /mydata/ztncui/httpfs/ to serve it. (You could use this to build your own root server and distribute planet file, even though, that won't hurt you, I still suggest to set a protection for both http servers in front.)

WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT SET PASSWORD, YOU HAVE TO USE docker container logs <CONTAINER_NAME / CONTAINER_ID> to get your random password. This is a gatekeeper.

To reset password of ztncui: delete file under /mydata/ztncui/passwd and set the environment variable to the password you want, then re-create the container. After application has been initialized, the password should ONLY be changed from the web page.

Chinese users only

This script use https:///ip.sb for public IP detection purpose, which is blocked in some area of China Mainland. Under this circumstance, the program will try to detect public IP using ifconfig tool and might lead to unwanted result, to prevent this, make sure you set MYADDR environment variable when docker container is up.
