- I’ve just bought a #BananaPi R3. As an avid user of #Openwrt and #Yunohost I’m thinking that it would make sense to have the capabilities of both on that device since it has space for an #SSD - Does any one know of any projects that are bringing the features of both types of services together into one solution. i.e a lightweight home server and configurable router in one?
I’d run the lightest full OS that you can, and run containers for services.
@catloaf This I need to learn more about. In terms of managing networks/routing how would that work - Use #openwrt in a container?
If you really want to get fancy you could use something like the frrrouting package to make any Linux based operating system your router, but that’s almost entirely configured through a cisco-like command interface
I’ll be honest, I was writing while pooping and didn’t really think it all the way through. A router in a container probably doesn’t make sense. Maybe run the router on the OS, and then services in containers alongside. I’m not sure how janky the networking will be, if docker and the router will both be creating rules. Maybe one VM, so that it’s just a plain bridge adapter, and containers in there.
