Moving The Controller

[jimthedj65]

Hi Duane,

I backed up all my /var/lib/zerotier-one folder and moved it to a new container. When I run the bash ztnetworks.bash it doesnt see my old configs and networks. I have made sure that bsdmainutils, jq, curl, ipcalc etc are all loaded as dependencies.

I have tried to change all permissions to zerotier-one and made sure zerotier has a tun port active in the lxc container.

Are there any specific permissions that are needed to get the script to read the controller, peers and moon files that have been restored?

any guidance or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I am very sorry I missed this message. I didn't receive an alert on it, though I should have been checking here periodically. I am sure you've gotten this resolved. However, this question is more for ZT support.

A couple of things. First, this is definitely a ZeroTier issue. Secondly, only /var/lib/zerotier-one/controller.d needs to be moved to move a controller to a new machine. Third. the names and description of peers within bash_cli_zt are local to this program and will not transfer if the /var/lib/zerotier-one/controller.d is moved to a new machine.

Hopefully this helps?
