I updated from 1.8.9 to 1.10.1 recently on my ubuntu server vm.
$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: -
Icon name: computer-container
Chassis: container
Machine ID: -
Boot ID: -
Virtualization: openvz
Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0
Architecture: x86-64
Since then it is no longer able to communicate with the other devices in the zerotier network it was part of.
I left and rejoined the network, joining fails with errorcode 500.
$sudo zerotier-cli -j join <newtworkid>
500 join {}
The device actually appears and updates on the management view - but it is not able to establish a connection to other devices in the network.
Uninstalling Zerotier (also removing /var/lib/zerotier) restarting, installing zerotier, restarting, joining network, did not resolve the issue.
$sudo apt-get remove zerotier-one
$rm -R /var/lib/zerotier-one
$shutdown -r now
$curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/master/doc/contact%40zerotier.com.gpg' | gpg --import && \
if z=$(curl -s 'https://install.zerotier.com/' | gpg); then echo "$z" | sudo bash; fi
$shutdown -r now
$sudo zerotier-cli -j join <newtworkid>
500 join {}
Again the device appears with a different id on the management view, but is not able to reach/be reached by other devices.
I tried to add a different linux system to the network, that worked fine.
What I noticed while doing so is, that no new virtual network adapter gets created if I join a network with the troublesome system. So I assume the issue is caused by this.
What I need now, is a pointer what I can do to get zerotier working again, without reinstalling the whole system.
-
Is there a way to get more details on why the join fails - not just a “500”?
-
is there a way to uninstall zerotier more completely?
-
how does zerotier create his virtual adapters? Can I look into possible errors regarding this somewhere?
