The zero-tier-cli doesn’t have much functionality out of the box.
One such feature that I find crucial. is the ability to show the number of active members for given zero-tier VPN network.
That’s not really something a member joined to a network knows, or should know. That’s the realm of the Network Controller, which can be accessed on the web if you’re using ours at https://my.zerotier.com, or via REST API if you’re running your own. Either way, it’s not information that is known or should be known to a member joined to a network.
Hi @Josef,
In addition to the REST APIs, you can use something like nmap or fing.
If you set up a DNS server for your network, you can even see the names.
nmap -sP 100.64.64.0/24 --dns-server=100.64.64.68 -oG -
Host: 100.64.64.9 (abc.domain) Status: Up
Host: 100.64.64.48 (def.domain) Status: Up
Host: 100.64.64.68 (nas.domain) Status: Up
The concept of “online” is a little tricky because it’s a peer to peer system. Just because NodeA can talk to the network controller or NodeC, doesn’t necessarily mean it can talk to NodeB
