ZeroTier One Network Virtualization Service
======
This is the actual implementation of ZeroTier One, a service providing connectivity to ZeroTier virtual networks for desktops, laptops, servers, VMs, etc. (Mobile versions for iOS and Android have their own implementations in native Java and Objective C that leverage only the ZeroTier core engine.)
### Local Configuration File
A file called `local.conf` in the ZeroTier home folder contains configuration options that apply to the local node. It can be used to set up trusted paths, blacklist physical paths, set up physical path hints for certain nodes, and define trusted upstream devices (federated roots). In a large deployment it can be deployed using a tool like Puppet, Chef, SaltStack, etc. to set a uniform configuration across systems. It's a JSON format file that can also be edited and rewritten by ZeroTier One itself, so ensure that proper JSON formatting is used.
Settings available in `local.conf` (this is not valid JSON, and JSON does not allow comments):
```javascript
{
"physical": { /* Settings that apply to physical L2/L3 network paths. */
"NETWORK/bits": { /* Network e.g. 10.0.0.0/24 or fd00::/32 */
"blacklist": true|false, /* If true, blacklist this path for all ZeroTier traffic */
"trustedPathId": 0|!0, /* If present and nonzero, define this as a trusted path (see below) */
"mtu": 0|!0 /* if present and non-zero, set UDP maximum payload MTU for this path */
} /* ,... additional networks */
},
"virtual": { /* Settings applied to ZeroTier virtual network devices (VL1) */
"##########": { /* 10-digit ZeroTier address */
"try": [ "IP/port"/*,...*/ ], /* Hints on where to reach this peer if no upstreams/roots are online */
"blacklist": [ "NETWORK/bits"/*,...*/ ] /* Blacklist a physical path for only this peer. */
}
},
"settings": { /* Other global settings */
"primaryPort": 0-65535, /* If set, override default port of 9993 and any command line port */
"portMappingEnabled": true|false, /* If true (the default), try to use uPnP or NAT-PMP to map ports */
"softwareUpdate": "apply"|"download"|"disable", /* Automatically apply updates, just download, or disable built-in software updates */
"softwareUpdateChannel": "release"|"beta", /* Software update channel */
"softwareUpdateDist": true|false, /* If true, distribute software updates (only really useful to ZeroTier, Inc. itself, default is false) */
"interfacePrefixBlacklist": [ "XXX",... ], /* Array of interface name prefixes (e.g. eth for eth#) to blacklist for ZT traffic */
"allowManagementFrom": "NETWORK/bits"|null, /* If non-NULL, allow JSON/HTTP management from this IP network. Default is 127.0.0.1 only. */
"bind": [ "ip",... ], /* If present and non-null, bind to these IPs instead of to each interface (wildcard IP allowed) */
"allowTcpFallbackRelay": true|false /* Allow or disallow establishment of TCP relay connections (true by default) */
}
}
```
* **trustedPathId**: A trusted path is a physical network over which encryption and authentication are not required. This provides a performance boost but sacrifices all ZeroTier's security features when communicating over this path. Only use this if you know what you are doing and really need the performance! To set up a trusted path, all devices using it *MUST* have the *same trusted path ID* for the same network. Trusted path IDs are arbitrary positive non-zero integers. For example a group of devices on a LAN with IPs in 10.0.0.0/24 could use it as a fast trusted path if they all had the same trusted path ID of "25" defined for that network.
An example `local.conf`:
```javascript
{
"physical": {
"10.0.0.0/24": {
"blacklist": true
},
"10.10.10.0/24": {
"trustedPathId": 101010024
},
},
"virtual": {
"feedbeef12": {
"role": "UPSTREAM",
"try": [ "10.10.20.1/9993" ],
"blacklist": [ "192.168.0.0/24" ]
}
},
"settings": {
"softwareUpdate": "apply",
"softwareUpdateChannel": "release"
}
}
```
### Network Virtualization Service API
The JSON API supports GET, POST/PUT, and DELETE. PUT is treated as a synonym for POST. Other methods including HEAD are not supported.
Values POSTed to the JSON API are *extremely* type sensitive. Things *must* be of the indicated type, otherwise they will be ignored or will generate an error. Anything quoted is a string so booleans and integers must lack quotes. Booleans must be *true* or *false* and nothing else. Integers cannot contain decimal points or they are floats (and vice versa). If something seems to be getting ignored or set to a strange value, or if you receive errors, check the type of all JSON fields you are submitting against the types listed below. Unrecognized fields in JSON objects are also ignored.
API requests must be authenticated via an authentication token. ZeroTier One saves this token in the *authtoken.secret* file in its working directory. This token may be supplied via the *auth* URL parameter (e.g. '?auth=...') or via the *X-ZT1-Auth* HTTP request header. Static UI pages are the only thing the server will allow without authentication.
A *jsonp* URL argument may be supplied to request JSONP encapsulation. A JSONP response is sent as a script with its JSON response payload wrapped in a call to the function name supplied as the argument to *jsonp*.
#### /status
