QNAP QTS 5.0.1 issues

based on this, which is accurate - and now closed -

ZeroTier not compatible with QTS 5.0.1

You have to wait for someone to update the QTS package or drop zerotier into a virtual machine instead.

hi this is simpler and better and works (only x64 cant test others)
use docker first install QVPN for the tun driver

docker run -d --name zerotier-one --device=/dev/net/tun --net=host --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN -v $HOME/docker/zerotier-one:/var/lib/zerotier-one --restart=always zyclonite/zerotier

docker exec zerotier-one zerotier-cli join 8056c2e21c000001

or create an empty file with the network as name
/var/lib/zerotier-one/networks.d/8056c2e21c000001.conf

is there a more “verbose” detailed explanation, than this ? Because the wonderful Zerotier 1.8.6, which works great with QNAP 5.0.0, no longer works with QTS 5.0.1, and I can’t get this “fix” to work (probably due to my ignorance on the brief explanation).

if someone knows if there is a new release on the pipeline to fix the current app not working under 5.0.1 please let me know. Thanks in advance

Same QTS version, I installed in docker (container station called by QNAP), and I only get 500 when I want to join a network. At web portal I can see it is online.

I am NOT using Docker.
you will see a detailed post on how to get Zerotier to work with QTS 5.0.1 here -

QNAP - Failed to install ZeroTier. Downgrade QTS to 5.0.0 or an older compatible version

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 …

go to post 44 in this thread, and you will see a summary. In post 56, you will see a response from Zerotier directly, saying that they will work on this soon. But if you follow port 44, you will get it to work right now.

I can see a new post (post 57 in your link) 2h after your post here that the official fix is released.

Jimmy -
WOW WOW WOW - boy, I am so glad that I belong to this community forum. I would never have known this. I am going to try this (it sure took them long enough) - and if it works, I don’t have to suffer thru every installation, and I can go to QTS 5.0.1 without having to worry. THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing me this. I cannot wait to try it.
