configure zerotier nodes remotely

Get a list of zerotier networks from remote urls, join them, and leave any other networks. Keep your device in sync without remembering all those network ids.

The only flags now are --file, --url, --tokenPath, --watch

You can use multiple --file and --url flags at once.

• npx @laduke/joiner --url http://example.com/work-networks.json --file ./home-networks.json --file test-networks.json

You can provide networks on stdin

• echo "[{\"id\": \"1234123412341234\" }]" | npx @laduke/joiner

See verbose more logs with env var

• LOG_LEVEL=debug npx @laduke/joiner

• --watch<=5000> will poll all files and urls every x ms for new config

json format for now:

example.com/work-networks.json

{
  "networks": [{ "id": "2222222222222222", "allowDNS": true }, { "id": "4444444444444444" }]
}

use cases

• switching contexts on your workstation
  • join client A's networks, leave client B's
  • join test networks
  • leave all networks
• remotely controlling nodes; migrate them to new or additional networks, without user interaction
• boot strap new vms onto networks
