ZeroTier network controller user interface in a Docker container

This is 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.

Note

The keynetworks/ztncui Docker image is now being build with https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui-aio - this repo is just being maintained for reference to documentation.

Docker run

docker run --name ztncui -dp 3443:3443 keynetworks/ztncui

See below for a more secure way of running the container.

Connect to the user interface

Open a web browser to https://docker_host:3443 where docker_host is the hostname or IP address of the machine running the container.

Password

The default username is admin and default password is password. It would be best practice to restrict access to port 3443 of docker_host to the IP address of your machine before running the container, so that nobody else can login before you do. You can do this as follows:

First assign your IP address to an environment variable, for example:

MYADDR=12.34.56.78

This is to allow you to execute the following two commands in one shot to minimise the chance of some nefarious character getting in before you do:

docker run --name ztncui -dp 3443:3443 keynetworks/ztncui && \
docker exec ztncui iptables -I INPUT -i eth0+ ! -s $MYADDR -p tcp --dport 3443 -j DROP

Persist Data in volumes

If you want to persist the ZeroTier and ztncui data in volumes outside of the container, then use this approach:

First assign your IP address to an environment variable, for example:

MYADDR=12.34.56.78

Then, execute in one shot:

docker run -dp 3443:3443 --name ztncui --volume ztncui:/opt/key-networks/ztncui/etc/ \
--volume zt1:/var/lib/zerotier-one/ keynetworks/ztncui && \
docker exec ztncui iptables -I INPUT -i eth0+ ! -s $MYADDR -p tcp --dport 3443 -j DROP

Copy volumes to another Docker host

For various reasons (controller backup, redundancy, etc), it is useful to be able to copy the zt1 and ztncui volumes from one Docker host to another. To copy the volumes from host1 to host2, first stop the ztncui container on host1:

docker stop ztncui

To copy the ztncui volume from host1 to host2, execute the following on host1:

docker run --rm --volume ztncui:/from alpine ash -c "cd /from ; tar -cf - . " | ssh user@host2 'docker run --rm -i --volume ztncui:/to alpine ash -c "cd /to ; tar -xpvf - " '

To copy the zt1 volume from host1 to host2, execute the following on host1:

docker run --rm --volume zt1:/from alpine ash -c "cd /from ; tar -cf - . " | ssh user@host2 'docker run --rm -i --volume zt1:/to alpine ash -c "cd /to ; tar -xpvf - " '

To run the container on host2:

docker run -dp 3443:3443 --name ztncui --volume ztncui:/opt/key-networks/ztncui/etc/ \
--volume zt1:/var/lib/zerotier-one/ keynetworks/ztncui

Pass environment variables

As per https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui#summary-of-listening-states, environment variables can be passed with --env as of ztncui:1.2.2. Note that as of version 1.2.3 of the Docker image, passing HTTP_ALL_INTERFACES=yes will cause HTTPS_PORT to be ignored. Here is an example of how to pass environment variables:

docker run --env HTTP_PORT=8000 --env HTTP_ALL_INTERFACES=yes -dp 8000:8000 --name ztncui keynetworks/ztncui

Note that the above will expose HTTP on the docker host. This can be useful for offloading TLS to a proxy, but you should not expose HTTP directly to the Internet.
