I’m experiencing an issue with the Quickstarts – Everything Local setup. Everything is running locally on my machine, and I’ve carefully followed all the instructions.
However, when I try to connect to the controller via the Ziti Administration Console (ZAC), I keep getting the error: "Controller not online."
I tried to follow a tutorial on the Ziti YouTube channel, but it appears to be outdated, and the commands shown there are different from the current setup instructions.
Could someone please share an updated tutorial or guide to help me resolve this issue? I’ve tried various troubleshooting steps, but I’m still facing the same problem. I’m running this setup on a Linux distribution (Ubuntu).
Hi @Rina111, what URL are you using when you try logging in? Could you check the dev tools console to see if there are any useful errors logged? Also what is are you using?
Hello,
I used http://127.0.0.1:1280 and got a JSON response for the API. I tried to follow the tutorial OpenZiti "Everything Local (No Docker)" Quickstart Overview, but when I try to access the ZAC login page, I get the error "Cannot GET /". I'll attach a screenshot to explain.
Additionally, I want to mention that it's impossible to use systemctl to restart the controller when following the quickstart guide. However, in the ZAC tutorial, after modifying the YAML file, it asks to restart the controller service using systemd.
Also, I don't know what the dev tools console is. Could you explain it to me?
I need a tutorial because it’s been three weeks, and I haven’t been able to successfully connect to ZAC. Please help me.
Thank You.
I came back to re-read this today, could this just be a typo? If that's NOT a typo, that's the problem. OpenZiti is always going to use https. You need to use https://127.0.0.1:1280
Ah. That's yet another problem with the ZAC guide, yeah. Sorry about that. Another forum user had a similar problem but for docker (no compose).
In any chrome-based browser, firefox, or safari you can go to "developer tools" to see the sorts of requests being made. That's what it refers to.
Thank you for your help!
I followed the Linux deployment guide, and everything is working perfectly now. Thanks a lot for the assistance!
I have a question about my project. I’m using GNS3 to deploy my own network infrastructure, and I’m aiming to achieve a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution. Do you think it’s possible to integrate OpenZiti with my GNS3 environment to accomplish this?
Thank you again for your help, and I’d appreciate any advice you can share!
I've never played with GNS3, myself. I probably should so I can answer this question better. My understanding is that GNS3 uses virtual machines. If that's the case, I would certainly imagine it'll work fine. There might be challenges around DNS or routing that aren't related to OpenZiti, but I have run multiple VMs on my local computer and setup OpenZiti just fine...
