installing zero tier one
I've searched through the osts already, but everyone has issue that are fixed starting from a place of already knowing workarounds. they're no help to me because i have no idea how to reach the point where there's an answer. how can you go installing it from the very beginning?

why do you need zerotier one? is alternative acceptable?
I used it to play multiplayer on emulators back on windows with friends. I guess an alternative would be fine. I forced them to install it before i can make them install something else.
tailscale is preinstalled and have similar feature
the only downside is 3 account limit, but can be bypassed by sharing account (device limit is 100)
Does it exist on windows?
Not for my lack of trying they don't want to bother with linux
yes
Alright I'll try it out, thanks!
you said it was preeinstalled but i don't see how to get it working
sudo tailscale up

Remove the question mark
I think it worked. the portal page opened
Also replace start with enable to autostart
good note, thanks
ppsspp managed to connect, thank you!
tailscale is already being a problem in the testing phase, are there any other alternatives?
How is Tailscale “being a problem”
Tailscale and ZeroTier should be nigh identical in performance.
i managed to invite one person as a user, but then i tried to create an account for others to use with a different browser and it's asking me to either scan a qr code or use a security key

You have to use the one account
that made the server?
Yes, that’s how free Tailscale works as far as I know
I could be wrong
ok, i'll see how to go about doing that
is the usual strategy to make a new email specifically to use there?
Afaik you can invite up to two account
So if you need more you'll need to share
You can login to more than one account in a device tho
So you can kinda treat the account as a server kinda
i see
ok i really don't like how tailscale works as soon as i'm trying to have more than 1 person join. are there no other alternatives? to give an idea we were 7 on my zerotier server
is it really not possible to get zerotier to work?
or even hamachi
We recommend tail scale, anything else you're on your own and probably have to layer
if you really want zerotier, youll need to enable rpmfusion-nonfree and
rpm-ostree install zerotier-one
https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/rpm-ostree/#major-caveats-using-rpm-ostree do note thisoh that's really good to know, i appreciate the help and the warning both!
oh just noticed that nonfree is already enabled, the rpm-ostree should be enough
What do you mean by that?
just do
rpm-ostree install zerotier-one
Ok!

what causes this error?
what is

there's currently no functioning build for f42 for zerotier-one
https://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=636
all the builds that were done are deleted probably due to issues
oh, also the baseurl is commented lol
so i wait until a new one is made?
or just give tailscale a chance
it doesn't look like its getting a new build any time soon
last build attempt was in january
not promising lol
I'll probably use tailscale when time comes
their own repo doesnt even have f41 build wtf

can always try to build it yourself if you really want it

i can't even find an up to date .deb
just try tailscale please
or otherwise it looks like the only option is to build it yourself
it sounds like i don't have much of a choice, I'll make a shared gmail for it
I've set it up and everything worked fine, thanks for the help! it's very appreciated!
No problem 🙂
