This Dockerfile is pushed to dockerhub.
Also, it can be deployed in unRaid using a template.
The template is also published in unRaid "Community Applications" store.
This docker has a support thread on unRaid forum. It also includes step-by-step setup instructions.
Network and the docker image setup steps:
- Create a https://my.zerotier.com/ account and create a Network there.
- Get an ID of the created network (looks something like b4da7454b271902c).
- Install this docker image on your unRaid using a template. or from Community Applications and put that ID as a NETWORK_ID parameter of the container.
- After a start of the docker go to https://my.zerotier.com/network/<NETWORK_ID> and check “Auth” checkbox in “Members section” for the new device. Assign a meaningful name, copy an ip from "Managed IPs" column - it will be a static IP of your NAS in your virtual network.
- Install a Zerotier client to your laptop/phone/other devices, join a network with the same id and repeat the previous step for them.
Now, when you connect Zerotier on any of your devices - a VPN connection will be set up and all connected devices will be available like they are in the same network. SMB shares/TimeMachine will be autodetected and available like you are in the same network, all UIs will be available on <ip from the step 4>:<usual port>.
