Help with LXC containers & Zerotier

Serial Servers & Infrastructure Mangement Connect IT
1

I am looking for some help with setting up containers on a Digi Connect IT 16. I have the licenses for Digi remote manager as well as the containers add-on. I have never worked with LXC but I have worked with docker. The product I would like to integrate using a container is Zerotier. It is a network MESH solution that can be bridged to a physical interface. Please see www.zerotier.com for reference or the follow link for a Docker equivalent. https://hub.docker.com/r/zerotier/zerotier

It would be awesome if someone could help me figure this out as I want to use the Digi as a firewall for our Out of Bounds management network and Zerotier would make that seamless for my team with no VPN required.

Anyone that can help me would be my hero, or if you can point me a solid Digi documentation on how to create containers that would at least be a start.

Here are a couple of videos I found, I hope they’re helpful:

In addition to what @jmcbane posted, here are a couple articles to supplement what you’'ll find in the User Guide:

Digi Connect EZ 16/32 Containers section: https://www.digi.com/resources/documentation/Digidocs/90002540/default.htm#containers/containers-cont.htm

I note that the above section isn’t found within the Connect IT 16 User Guide, so I’ll be taking steps on our end to resolve that accidental omission.
