Assuming a network ID named 'abcdefg' has been created in the Zerotier backend, join it by following the steps below:
Note: If logged in as the root user, remove 'sudo' from all commands below.
- Install ZeroTier One:
You need to install ZeroTier One on your Debian system first. You can install it using the following command:
curl -s https://install.zerotier.com | sudo bash
2. Start ZeroTier One:
After installation, start the ZeroTier One service:
sudo systemctl start zerotier-one
3. Check the status of the ZeroTier One service:
Ensure that the ZeroTier One service is running properly:
sudo systemctl status zerotier-one
4. Join the ZeroTier network:
Use your network ID to join the ZeroTier network by executing the following command:
sudo zerotier-cli join abcdefg
5. Check the network connection status:
Confirm that you have successfully joined the network:
sudo zerotier-cli listnetworks
You should see output similar to the following, indicating that you are connected to the network:
200 listnetworks
- abcdefg 200 join 1.2.3.4/5.6.7.8
- Set to start automatically on boot:
If you want the ZeroTier One service to start automatically when the system boots, you can execute the following command:
sudo systemctl enable zerotier-one
After completing these steps, your Debian system should have successfully joined the Zerotier network with the ID abcdefg. Next, you can manually assign it a fixed virtual LAN IP address, and then you can operate it as needed, just like a VPS on a local area network.
