ziti-doc VS ziti

OpenZiti vs BoringProxy has some similarities for sure. The simplest OpenZiti deployment is similar to a boring proxy deployment. The main differences will be that the listening ports "on the network" are going to be from the OpenZiti edge-router which will authenticate before allowing any connection using a strong x509 identity (not a token) and then after that the same identity can be authorized to access one or more services. That's one killer difference to me. There are lots of other things OpenZiti is doing that boringproxy isn't trying to as well. I filed an issue to do a comparison to that some day https://github.com/openziti/ziti-doc/issues/176 thanks for the idea! :)

Use our open source solution, OpenZiti, and host/manage it all yourself - https://openziti.github.io/

You can definitely read more about what OpenZiti is over on the docs page if you're looking for more info about the project https://openziti.github.io/

If you're interested in it, you can find it over at github - https://openziti.github.io. It's one more thing to setup and maintain so maybe that's a dealbreaker but since this is selfhosted - maybe not ;)

If you want to go fully open source and self-hosted, use an OpenZiti quickstart - https://openziti.github.io/ - while ignoring steps 1, 2, 3, and 5 ... i.e., step 4 is where you deploy an OpenZiti tunneler on an OpenWRT box.

I not long ago discovered OpenZiti, and to be honest I fell in love with it. I also have a dinamic IP, and I have even some other cases wheren from my place some IoT devices need to find my laptop wherever I may go (I travel a lot).

https://openziti.github.io/ - gives a good intro

More details: What I'm trying to do is setup a Zero Trust Host Access on my Kubernetes cluster using OpenZiti. Ziti has 4 binaries (controller, router, tunneler and admin console), configuring all these to work together is kinda complex, that's why I thought about making custom modules.

Probably overkill for your need, but you can give access to your VM without requiring a bastion or VPN, only outbound ports on a NAT gateway using opensource OpenZiti - https://openziti.github.io/. The user would load a client on their device and get access only the the specific resources you define (IP, DNS, port etc). This also means you don't need to assign the IP of the users home (added benefit they can access when not at home).

Create the identity for the Hosting workstation. You can assign as many attributes as you want. Openziti works with an "attribute-enabled role-based access control (ARBAC) model. So, if you have used hashtags, you’re probably familiarized with it.

If you are not aware of what OpenZiti is, this is the description available on their website:

fwiw, its back up. stars for zrok and ziti (i.e., the parent repo) are super appreciated!

Create an AUR package for the ziti binaries

I ask because I'm going to start with the simplified-docker-compose.yml file instead of the more complicated one for starters

OpenZiti is the most sophisticated and simple-to-use ZTNA platform on the planet. Allows you to create micro-segmented ZTNA networks by desktop application, web application, device, containers, API, and servers. All data is distributed dynamically across an overlay mesh network focused on routing performance, self-healing, and latency. It has desktop clients on all operating systems, pre-built SSH consoles, and SDKs in different languages to integrate OpenZiti into any product natively. And best of all, it's Open-Source. Seriously, try it, you'll be mind-blowing...

This repo hosts the OpenZiti SDK for NodeJS, and is designed to help you deliver secure applications over a OpenZiti Network - https://github.com/openziti/ziti-sdk-nodejs.

zrok.io seems fit for this purpose though you'd have to do a little work like combining it with FileGator or similar. Future releases would add this functionality directly, you could just watch the project. It is fundamentally designed for web app & webhook testing. It's built on top of a zero-trust networking overlay technology called openziti.io. There are developer discourse channels to help.
