Host Machine Unable To Trigger Zerotier One localhost:9993 API? Now Have Connection Refused Error

[jerrychong25]

Hi all,

I would like to trigger Zerotier localhost:9993 API from host machine (Where it run docker compose up command) as mentioned in https://docs.zerotier.com/self-hosting/network-controllers/#authorize-a-member.

Unfortunately, it have this error when running the command on the host machine:

ubuntu@host-machine:~/xxxxxx-vpn-server/backup$ curl -X POST "http://localhost:9993/controller/network/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/member/XXXXXXXXXX" -H "X-ZT1-AUTH: AUTH_STRING_HERE" -d '{"authorized": true}'

curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9993 after 0 ms: Connection refused

Any solution to solve?

I've tried use following solutions to fix it:

• sudo ufw allow 9993/tcp
• echo "{"settings": {"portMappingEnabled": true,"softwareUpdate": "disable","allowManagementFrom": ["0.0.0.0/0"]}}" > /var/lib/zerotier-one/local.conf

Unfortunately, both does not solved my issues either.

Thank you.

Problem solved with using following docker compose codes on zerotier section:

  zerotier:
    image: zyclonite/zerotier:1.10.1
    container_name: zu-controller
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - controller_data:/var/lib/zerotier-one
    environment:
      - ZT_OVERRIDE_LOCAL_CONF=true
      - ZT_ALLOW_MANAGEMENT_FROM=0.0.0.0/0
    ports:
      - "9993:9993/tcp"
      - "9993:9993/udp"
