The template is also published in unRaid "Community Applications" store.

⁠Support and bug reports

This docker has a support thread⁠ on unRaid forum. It also includes step-by-step setup instructions.

⁠Setup

Network and the docker image setup steps:

1. Create a https://my.zerotier.com/⁠ account and create a Network there.
2. Get an ID of the created network (looks something like b4da7454b271902c).
3. Install this docker image on your unRaid using a template⁠. or from Community Applications and put that ID as a NETWORK_ID parameter of the container.
4. After a start of the docker go to https://my.zerotier.com/network/⁠<NETWORK_ID> and check “Auth” checkbox in “Members section” for the new device. Assign a meaningful name, copy an ip from "Managed IPs" column - it will be a static IP of your NAS in your virtual network.
5. Install a Zerotier client to your laptop/phone/other devices, join a network with the same id and repeat the previous step for them.

Now, when you connect Zerotier on any of your devices - a VPN connection will be set up and all connected devices will be available like they are in the same network. SMB shares/TimeMachine will be autodetected and available like you are in the same network, all UIs will be available on <ip from the step 4>:<usual port>.
