maybe when i turned on relaying

i've found it to be necessary on kubernetes because of all the layers of routing

man i wish i had a good handle on k8s...

i've got a three node k3s cluster at home here

i want to migrate my docker-compose stuff to k8s

but damn if it's not a lot more complex

it's overkill for just netmaker, unless you want to run it HA, in which case it's probably a lot more simple than trying to run multiple docker-composes

yeah for sure, i have a big stack of other stuff running at home that i'd like to use it for

Well I'm out for now. Thanks again!

np!

So I got Netmaker up and running on a DigitalOcean droplet, I've created a few nodes and they seem healthy and checkin regularly with the comms network, but the nodes cant ping each other. I can ping the netmaker-1 node from the nodes, but not each other. wg show from the node machines shows that they send data, but nothing is received... what am I missing? 😅

If you don’t mind providing some data about your setup I know a few other people have run into this and it could be valuable for us to troubleshoot

@User Hi Alex. My server on Linode running 0.12.0 seems to be ok to a point. External client installs work great they can ping each other and the Netmaker server. If I use the power shell script on Win11 it adds the node to the network I created plus the default one (I’m unable to delete the default network). If I use the same power shell script on a windows 10, the script runs says it’s connected but I then get the following. ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands ---------- ------- ---- ---------------- Script 0.0 netclient-install {Netclient-Install, Quit} 'WireGuard' is installed. 'netclient.exe' is NOT installed. installing... https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/releases/download/v0.12.0/netclient.exe Add-MpPreference : Operation failed with the following error: 0x800106ba.

for windows 10, try just manually downloading the netclient.exe from the releases page and running "netclient.exe join -t "

@User some good info to have for this: 0. version 1. server logs (docker logs netmaker) 2. client logs (journalctl -u netclient) 3. client interface (wg show) 4. Info about network: is UDP hole punching on? Any other special settings? Also, after conversing with @User , please try re-joining with new access keys for each node

Will do, thanks as always 😁

Sure! I'll try to gather the information a bit later today 🙂

That seems to have worked. Win10 PC can ping Netmaker server and shows as healthy in the nodes list. Do you know what would prevent a node being able to ping an external client? Every type of client can ping the server.

we dont add routes for nodes to contact ext clients, because ext clients are meant only for ingress into the network

Has anyone tried adding PFsense+ WireGuard client into a network to act as a relay into a LAN?

Let’s say there is something on a node that an external client needs to get access too, how can this be done? Sorry if this is a simple stupid sort of question. I’m just in the process of getting my head around Netmaker concepts & methods.

Ext clients are really mostly just meant for phones, most other devices should be able to use the netclient

We only meant them as a way for devices to gain access to the network which are unsupported by netclient

I tried the install script on my M1 MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.3, I get an error “OS unsupported for automatic dependency install” this is what sort of lead me down the external client route. Nodes would be much better to have as anything other than my own kit would be remotely done.

ah! yes we haven't done any M1 testing

but you can try compiling the netclient code from source if you're feeling adventurous

You have such faith in an old screwdriver monkey 🙈 😂

I see there’s a netclient-Darwin-arm64 is that the M1 client? I tried it, complaining about WireGuard tools not being installed 🤷

Don't remove the ext clients lol, I use that a loooot 😛

did you try installing wireguard-tools? it is a required set of tools for netclient to function
