Migrate from ztncui?

[pjv]

How hard would it be to migrate my networks, their members, settings, etc. from ztncui to zero ui?

Has anyone tried this?

Hello! Would you be interested in an automated migration tool?

By the way, It is not hard to do it manually because covering all the installation setups could be a big deal. The main goal of migration from ZTNCUI to ZeroUI is just to swap the controller private key and controller.d folder. Or you could use the previous installation of the ZeroTier controller on your host system without swapping and installation of the new ZeroTier controller.
Check out this docker-compose.yml as a reference:

version: "3.9"

services:
  zero-ui:
    image: dec0dos/zero-ui:latest
    container_name: zu-main
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: ./docker/zero-ui/Dockerfile
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /var/lib/zerotier-one:/var/lib/zerotier-one
      - zero-ui_data:/app/backend/data
    environment:
      - ZU_CONTROLLER_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:9993/
      - ZU_SECURE_HEADERS=false
      - ZU_DEFAULT_USERNAME=admin
      - ZU_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=zero-ui
    network_mode: host

volumes:
  zero-ui_data:

This setup uses the host system ZeroTier controller.

Thank you. I am currently running ztncui like this:

version: '3'
services:
  ztncui:
    image: keynetworks/ztncui:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    volumes:
      - ./ztncui/:/opt/key-networks/ztncui/etc/
      - ./zt1/:/var/lib/zerotier-one/
    environment:
      - HTTP_PORT=8000
      - HTTP_ALL_INTERFACES=yes

It’s running behind an nginx proxy that is handling SSL/TLS.

In the ./zt1 directory are the following:

-rw-r----- 1 2222 2222   24 Dec 11  2019 authtoken.secret
drwx------ 4 2222 2222 4.0K Dec 11  2019 controller.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 2222 2222  141 Dec 11  2019 identity.public
-rw------- 1 2222 2222  270 Dec 11  2019 identity.secret
drwxr-xr-x 2 2222 2222 4.0K Jun 27 05:39 peers.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 2222 2222  570 Apr 14 11:40 planet
-rw-r--r-- 1 2222 2222    2 Jun 28 05:40 zerotier-one.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 2222 2222    4 Jun 28 05:40 zerotier-one.port

So I see the controller.d directory. Is identity.secret the private key you are talking about?

I guess I could use my existing ./zt1 volume to supply that stuff.

In the ./ztncui directory is:

drwxr-xr-x 2 2222 2222 4.0K May 27 08:51 myfs
-rw------- 1 2222 2222  143 Dec 11  2019 passwd
drwxr-xr-x 2 2222 2222 4.0K Jun 23 11:55 storage
drwxrwxrwx 2 2222 2222 4.0K Dec 11  2019 tls

I can’t just supply that directory to /app/backend/data can I?

Is zeroUI data-structure compatible with ztncui?

[dec0dOS]

Yes, you can use the ./zt1 volume (the ZeroTier controller data /var/lib/zerotier-one/), but the ZeroUI is not data-structure compatible with ztncui. You could stop at this point without transferring ./ztncui data, all the thing you'll need to do is manually transferring your login credentials, network description, members names, and description, because the controller itself does not store this data.

Do you have an automated migration tool?

[JamesTX10]

If not an automated migration tool then even step-by-step directions would work.

[dec0dOS]

Hey, @JamesTX10. The main config for the controller is saved on the controller itself. So you could just mount your ZeroTier controller data (/var/lib/zerotier-one/) from ztncui.
