Hi Jim Rubbish -
when this thread got started, mvonweis showed us how to get Zerotier 1.8.4 working if you updated to QTS 5.0.1. But his “fix” would not survive a reboot. I tried this out at the time and here is the process. (Because I had already installed 5.0.1, and it would not work). If you reinstalled QTS 5.0.0, you could easily install ZeroTier 1.8.4 (as always) and it would work. You would now install QTS 5.0.1 (with 1.8.4 already installed), and it would NO LONGER WORK. So you can the fix from mvonweis that he showed on Sept. 14th, and now ZeroTier worked on QTS 5.0.1. But the minute you rebooted, it stopped working, and you had to re run all those lines of code. And then it started to work again. Of course, that was unacceptable.
Then Martinwm got involved, and showed how to get Zerotier 1.10.1 to work. So to be clear - I uninstalled Zerotier 1.8.4, rebooted, and made sure that there was no Zerotier on my QNAP. I then went to QNAPCLUB.eu, and downloaded the Zerotier 1.10.1 .qpkg, and of course it DID NOT WORK, but it installed on QTS 5.0.1, and lit up it’s lovely orange color. Then I followed martinwm’s instructions (he initially made some syntax typos), and then I got it to run correctly. So in summary, this was QTS 5.0.1 with a clean install of Zerotier 1.10.1
but this would not survive a reboot. On Sept 24th, martinwm shows us how to modify the OTier1.sh file (again, a minor typo - it’s actually 0Tier1.sh*) - and once you do this, now you can reboot your QNAP 5.0.1 with ZeroTier 1.10.1, and everything continues to work.
I will post the complete thread soon. I have already posted it on the Reddit QNAP forum and the forum.qnap.com community forum. So stand by.
