Zerotierone: REQ: zerotier on ESP32 or other 'arduino' like hardware

[syadnom]

I would like to see a zt client on ESP32 or similar 'high powered' arduinos.

The idea is to make a private IoT cloud instead of using https 'bare' over the public internet. Ideal target would be the cellular connected ESP variants.

[adamierymenko]

We've actively researched this but it would likely require a lighter weight build. Unfortunately I don't think we have the time/bandwidth to work on this unless someone sponsors it via enterprise support or a donation for this port.

[syadnom]

@adamierymenko can you think of a $ amount for that sponsorship? I think there is quite a bit of demand for this based on my conversations at least.

[adamierymenko]

Do you know of someone who'd be interested in sponsoring it? If so drop an e-mail to [email protected]

[syadnom]

I'm one, but I'd need to basically crowdfund it 'cause I can't drop big money on this feature.

[brendantay]

this would be awesome!
Would be interested in pushing crowdfunding campaigns :D

[bhamilton1co]

I know at least 8 people who would donate money for a ZT to ESP port.......

[jharsem]

Make that 9 =)

What is the status of this? because I would be 11

I am the 12th! ;-)

for my devices i use 4G sticks E3372H, anyone try to port ZT to android (Android 2.3 )

Thanks

Status om this one?
Also willing to pay

[adamierymenko]

I don't think this is a high priority unless someone wants to put forward significant funding. It would require a lot of work and there isn't a lot of interest.

[Mifulapirus]

Also interested here, in case this ever needs support

[kg9316]

If we leave out arduino and just focus on Espreiff C for the ESP32 this would be much easier to achieve for the developers.

[alpharde]

Does the ESP32 even have enough horsepower to properly handle a VPN tunnel on the top of network connectivity? Even routers will sometimes struggle with this.
I believe it's better to just leave this task to (strategically placed) gateways.

[theronic]

@alpharde throughput would be lower, but I think it would be possible. Timely cryptography would be the main challenge.

@adamierymenko how much would this be? I'm also interested!

[dmotte]

I am interested too! I think that this is a great idea. I agree that you can leave arduino out and just focus on the ESP32 only. That would make things a lot simpler. Furthermore, i think that an arduino may not have enough horsepower to run ZT, but at least on an ESP32 it should be possible

Why not using ZeroTier Edge?
This way you can connect the Arduino via ethernet shield easily
