A quick and dirty way to get autocompletion of your zeronsd hostnames. Comments and pull requests welcome. You don't need to be the admin of the network or of the zeronsd server.

• We use nmap -sL to list all the hostnames on a ZeroTier subnet.
• Write the names to files somewhere like ~/.hosts-$NETWORK_ID.
• Tell zsh or bash to use these files for host completion.

This lets you use zerotier-cli without sudo. On macOS the installer does this for you.

sudo cp /var/lib/zerotier-one/authtoken.secret ~/.zeroTierOneAuthToken
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) ~/.zeroTierOneAuthToken

The script will query your local zerotier-one for networks with DNS servers configured and create a file for each network.

The script depends on jq and nmap.

• brew install jq nmap or apt install jq nmap if you don't have them.
• mkdir -p $HOME/.config/zeronsd
• chmod +x get-zeronsd-host-names.sh
• `./get-zeronsd-host-names.sh

Put this in your ~/.zshrc

You may need to adapt it to your setup.

If you know a better way, let us know.

# get current hosts. zsh builtin stuff uses /etc/hosts, ~/.ssh/known_hosts, etc...
zstyle -s ':completion:*:hosts' hosts _hosts_config

# append hosts from zeronsd
[[ -r ~/.hosts ]] && _hosts_config+=($(cat $HOME/.hosts/hosts-*))
zstyle ':completion:*:hosts' hosts $_hosts_config

Try this: https://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/bash-hostname-completion/

• This will get progressively slower with the size of your networks.
• You must be joined to the zerotier network with the dns server (and on Mac have allowDNS enabled) . You'll get "host not found".
• All of the DNS servers must be up, or the script will take a long time.
• sourcing .zshrc appends and doesn't clear the list of hosts. You need to close the shell and open a new one.

Depending on your network setups, this may or may not fail. It's a rough shell script.

If you need to run it manually, it's basically:

nmap -sL $SUBNET -oG - --dns-server=$SERVER | grep -v "()" | grep Host: | cut -d "(" -f2 | cut -d ")" -f1 > $OUTDIR/hosts-$NETWORK_ID

Where:

• $SUBNET :: Managed Route for the ZeroTier Network. For example: "10.147.20.0/24"
• $SERVER :: One of your zeronsd servers for this ZeroTier network. For example: "10.147.20.3"
• $NETWORK_ID :: The ZeroTier Network ID.

It's a small script. Edit it to your needs.

For now... If you're reading this on github, click on the script then on "raw". Then you can copy and paste it, or curl it from the current url, to somewhere like ~/bin/get-zeronsd-host-names.sh
