It would be nice if we could `zerotier-cli join abcd1234 --name “Timple”
That way it is easier to identify who is what. Of course the name could still be modified from the web page afterwards.
This has been long requested and would be very useful for users.
I am self hosting a controller and would like to be able to see the names of peers upon entering zerotier-cli listpeers.
It seems that the name is an overlay via ZT Central.
This script will list (active) clients, much like the web UI (without having to log in, or open a browser):
ztlist-gist.sh
I use this multiple times a day, but only log in to the web a couple times a month. I use the listpeers command only when something seems wrong, and then mostly the size of the output (eg 50 lines, not 10).
You could do a join on the member json with the json from listpeers, if you really want peers identified.
‘auto-authorizing’ a node, and setting the name and description, are also easy with API + API Key.
