ZeroTier-OpenWrt

ZeroTier One is a programm to create a global provider-independent virtual private cloud. This project offers a OpenWrt packages for ZeroTier.

Installing prebuild package

Download the prebuild package and copy it onto your OpenWrt installation, preferably into the /tmp folder. Then install the ipk package file:

opkg install zerotier_*.ipk

Now start ZeroTier:

/etc/init.d/zerotier start

Compiling from Sources

Feed

A working OpenWRT/LEDE build enviroment is expected (else see below).

Put this line in your feed definition (eg. feeds.conf.default)

src-git zerotier https://github.com/muebau/zerotier-openwrt.git

Update the feeds

./scripts/feeds update

Make sure the package is in the feeds now

./scripts/feeds search zerotier

Install the package

./scripts/feeds install zerotier

Select and build the package

make menuconfig
make

The other way

To inlcude ZeroTier One into your OpenWRT image or to create an .ipk package (equivalent to Debians .deb files), you have to build an OpenWRT image.

For building OpenWrt on Debian, you need to install these packages:

sudo apt-get install subversion g++ zlib1g-dev build-essential git python
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev gawk gettext unzip file libssl-dev wget

Now build OpenWrt:

git clone git://git.openwrt.org/15.05/openwrt.git
cd openwrt

./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

git clone https://github.com/mwarning/zerotier-openwrt.git
cp -rf zerotier-openwrt/zerotier package/
rm -rf zerotier-openwrt/

make defconfig
make menuconfig

At this point select the appropiate "Target System" and "Target Profile" depending on what target chipset/router you want to build for. Also mark the ZeroTier package under "Network" => "VPN".

Now compile/build everything:

make

The images and all *.ipk packages are now inside the bin/ folder. You can install the ZeroTier .ipk using "opkg install <ipkg-file>" on the router.
