Installation script does not recognize Nobara Linux / Unknown or unsupported distribution
When trying to run the official ZeroTier installation script on my machine with Nobara Linux (a Fedora-based distro), I get the following message:
*** Unknown or unsupported distribution! Aborting.
Commands used:
curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/main/doc/contact%40zerotier.com.gpg' | gpg --import &&

System information (/etc/os-release):
NAME="Nobara Linux" VERSION="42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)" ID=nobara ID_LIKE="rhel centos fedora" VERSION_ID=42 PRETTY_NAME="Nobara Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)" HOME_URL="https://nobaraproject.org/" DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://www.nobaraproject.org/" SUPPORT_URL="https://www.nobaraproject.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/nobara-project/nobara-images" VARIANT="KDE Plasma Desktop Edition" VARIANT_ID=kde
It seems the script does not recognize Nobara Linux, which is a Fedora-based distribution. Could you please add support for it or suggest a workaround?
Thank you!
the workaround is to change your ID in /etc/os-release to fedora, then install zerotier and change it back.
i think the installer does not check for ID_LIKE because of other issues like https://github.com/zerotier/install.zerotier.com/issues/130 and https://github.com/zerotier/install.zerotier.com/issues/129
which have the same issue with forked distributions
