Description of my issue

Hello all,

I wanted to make use of ZeroTier to get access to my nextcloud subdomain on my newly set up yunohost on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4gb).

The thing is:

  • I have installed ZeroTier successfully and added my RPi and my phone on the same ZeroTier Network yesterday. But I did not figure out how to port to nextcloud and therefore I dismissed ZeroTier in the evening and removed it from my Yunohost. In the hope that I am going to start fresh the next day.
    But in the next day the service did not start and I found out that it misses executable files. (see attached log!)

  • I reinstalled again and noticed that there is already a warning during installation which says:

Info: Installing zerotier...
Info: [+...................] > Validating installation parameters...
Info: [#++.................] > Storing installation settings...
Info: [###++...............] > Finding an available port...
Info: [#####+++++..........] > Installing dependencies...

Warning: Identity generation timed out.
Warning: Identity file is missing. Please report to YunoHost Support if your ZeroTier instance does not work.
Info: [####################] > Installation of zerotier completed
Success! Installation completed

  • I removed ZeroTier again and used find to search for any installation artefacts but without success (which I believed to be a good sign as it means that there is nothing left from the failed installation). However the issue persisted after a new installation.

  • In addition, using zerotier-cli reports me: zerotier-cli: command not found however it is installed as yunohost app install ... gives me: Error: zerotier is already installed.

I did not find anything usable about the identity files in the ZeroTier documentation and the warning redirected me to you guys.

Thanks for any help and guidance,

J.S.

Welcome!

Can you share the logs of all the installation attempts?
Can you share the output of which zerotier-one after the app is installed?

Hello, thanks for your help.

Can you share the logs of all the installation attempts?

As you can see I have tried both installation via web interface and via cli.

Can you share the output of which zerotier-one after the app is installed?

reports nothing.

Thanks!

So the reinstalls have indeed consistently failed to generate the identity file.

  1. Install the app.
  2. Share the output of systemctl status zerotier-one.service
  3. Share the output of ls -la /var/lib/zerotier-one

  • Share the output of systemctl status zerotier-one.service

OK, it looks like Zerotier is not being removed while removing the app.

  1. Delete the app.
  2. sudo apt purge zerotier-ynh-deps zerotier-one -y
  3. Try installing the app again :crossed_fingers:

  1. sudo apt purge zerotier-ynh-deps zerotier-one -y

zerotier-ynh-deps was not installed. Should it have been?

Returns: E: Unable to locate package zerotier-ynh-deps

edit: installation log ( https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/awuvepofor ) looks good!

Thank you very much for your fast help!
