ZeroTier as a ReadyCloud replacement.
Well, a big part of a replacement, anyway. With ReadyCloud going away, a lot of folks are going to be looking for a replacement in order to have remote access to their ReadyNAS, I have been using...
Sandshark just found this thread after seeing readycloud is going EOL this year.
I have a Readynas RN104 running arm 6.10.9 can you point me to the correct ZT install I need for my NAS.
After reading the thread I got slightly confused as the RN104 was not mentioned.
If I just run the command below you suggested will this work?
curl -s https://install.zerotier.com/ | bash
zerotier-cli join <yournetworkID>
zerotier-cli info
TIA

I do not believe that will work any longer due to the changes in the Debian repositories, as outlined above. Whether it will work after updating the repositories list or if you should independently download it and install, I don't know. But it won't hurt to try, and please let us know your results. It has nothing to do with it being a 100 series NAS, though. While the 100 series NAS do have limited RAM, as long as you are not already running a lot of apps, I believe ZeroTier will work. But I own no 100 series to try it on.
Sandshark them cli commands do not work as you guessed. I also tried installing the 1.4.0 armel file using the web gui and it fails to install.
Are there any other ways i can get ZT on my NAS 104? I am running 6.10.8 not 6.10.9, sorry.
Any help is appreciated.
Sandshark okay, I have managed to get something to work on my RN104.
I done a manual install of iproute2 as suggested in previous post then a manual install of ZT 1.4.0 armel.
I then run the zerotier-cli join command and my NAS appeared in my ZT network - happy days.
How do I now access my shares remotely as if I was at home.
All you need to do is specify the ZeroTier IP address, which you can find in your ZeroTier account or with the ifconfig command via SSH on the NAS, instead of the "normal" one. If you want to do it by name, you'll have to add a unique name and the ZT IP address to your hosts file. While that's a plain text file, you have to edit it with admin privileges. Rather than me explaining how to do that (which you may not even need), you can just Google it. You can use that address for HTTP (including admin), SMB, and even SSH. I was recently out of town and could do everything remotely except watch videos, and that's just because my home upload speed to the internet is too slow. I had to download them and watch the copy locally. If you use Plex, it can transcode based on transfer speed, but I prefer to see the full resolution using the extra step of downloading.
What I have done is add _ZT to the normal network names and put them in my hosts files. So NAS1 is NAS1_ZT via ZeroTier.
