Welcome @ayroti !

Glad to have you in the community! I clearly need to make a sticky of a post - or we need to do a better job with our ‘getting started’ guides! I think i’ll do an overview of what ziti is and WHY this Friday at 11 am EST!

I just posted this to another person and I’ll repost it here for you too! 🙂

* * *

Have you seen the material over at [https://openziti.github.io/](https://openziti.github.io/) or [Overview | Ziti](https://openziti.github.io/ziti/overview.html)? Is there something in particular that you need?

If you have gone over that - maybe it’ll help to watch a video or two? I’ve recorded a fair number of videos and we put them out on our youtube channel which is here: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAsrfQasdZmp2Gq07Ej\_5cQ](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAsrfQasdZmp2Gq07Ej_5cQ)

There are some good ones out there that I think do a good job of showing some of the key pieces of understanding like:

- [this one i did for postgres using docker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg1KBlCtjoQ)
- [this one for zssh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P84ZIImeEYA)
- [if go is your jam you can watch me ‘zitify’ nats.io](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V_HlDZy6M8)

we often livestream on friday’s at 11 am - join in and chat if we are online! you can see videos there like when [tod used spring boot and made a fully functional, zero trust app in an hour](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9C8nRlrWJ0)

There are other past livestreams you find at [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAsrfQasdZmp2Gq07Ej\_5cQ/videos?view=2&live\_view=503](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAsrfQasdZmp2Gq07Ej_5cQ/videos?view=2&live_view=503)

Let me know if that works for you or if there’s something in particular you want more details on !

Welcome to OpenZiti!

In the last couple days we broke our quickstart. i filed this issue which would be a great “first issue” since it’s all about using the right version of ziti to make your network. if interested 🙂

> right now the quickstart/expressInstall function/ziti-cli-scripts.sh will get th…e LATEST version of ziti. if any problems happen with 'latest' you can't currently go back to 'previous' versions. it'd be nice to be able to set the version number of ziti you DO want to use so in the rare times the latest is 'broken' somehow you can move back.
