I think that's true, but I have basically 0 confidence that I can implement even simple rules using it, let alone anything more complicated.
The thing that was the real show stopper for me and made me switch to Nebula was that there doesn't seem to be a way to self-host a backup controller so that our network can continue to function even if ZeroTier.com is having problems. Unless, that is, I go entirely self-hosted and give up the web management UI, which I think is part of the compelling offer of ZeroTier.
- grumblez 4y agoHi. ZT team member here. Networks members will continue to be able to communicate with the controller down as long as they were online before the controller went down. Not a full solution, I know. Otherwise, it's a difficult problem to solve. The only way we could let you run a network controller as a back up right now would be to give you the private key for the controller, which would allow you to change everybody else's network on that controller, too. Not the best of ideas giving that info away!
- linsomniac 4y agoWould be nice to be able to buy the web UI to manage a private set of controllers...
- api 4y agoThat's in the queue. Will probably start by making it a turn-key marketplace "appliance" in AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. marketplaces, then release for on-prem.
