[Bug]: Remote ZeroTier Controller + Planet not working

[starlightcrafted]

🐛 Describe the Bug

When a remote zerotier controller is setup in ZT Controller -> Controller -> Local ZeroTier URL/Zerotier Secret, setting up a new planet results in the error message

identity.public file does NOT exist, cannot generate planet file.

🔍 Steps to Reproduce

1. Run ZTNet without the /var/lib/zerotier folder mounted to local ZeroTier
2. Setup a remote ZeroTier Controller in ZTNet
3. Create a Planet

🌐 Browser

Chrome

🔧 Deployment Type

• Docker
• Standalone

✨ Expected Behavior

ZTNet should use the existing entered identity to create the planet

Workaround: This can be fixed by creating a identity.public with the controller's identity in /var/lib/zerotier-one or wherever you have mounted the folder.

[sinamics]

As you found out, using a remote controller makes it difficult to create roots as ztnet needs access to the zerotier-one folder.
Your workarround would do, just remember if you change port others than 9993 you need to update the remote controller local.conf with the new port as well.
