Zitrone 🍋 :nixos:

I just installed #OpenWRT on an old (2013) Fritz!Box router i got scammed into on Kleinanzeigen.

it was really simple

Do you guys think i could install #NixOS on that router instead? It only has like ~100MiB of Memory tho.

@qz sounds like you owe it to the internet to try! Use the minimal iso and make a minimal flake. Check out my codeberg under the nix/nixos repo you will find a "router" Snag my nftables for LAN / WAN 👍 give it a go i wanna know how it goes 😅 currently my router is deployed on 8th gen intel x86 box. You could save resources if you offloaded your dhcp and dns to pihole and then you'd have a nice ui to manage your dhcp devices on a bare bones router.

@noflcl @qz offtopic but i have a system config in my nixos flake for building an installation iso and the size is 10GB lol

@mischievoustomato @qz probably building with all your local package stores. Bet if you did some housekeeping and tried to build excluding any nix-store caches it would be quite a bit smaller? Just a guess though knowing nothing about your build script

@noflcl @qz yes, given that i have a lot of custom stuff, building a new system from scratch takes time (kernel build, ffmpeg, some other things including qtbase), together with downloading, and since I use disko as well, it becomes messy, so I make sure to preload stuff to the best of my abilities

@mischievoustomato @qz totally the way to go for a image on your local network. 10gig image on lan is nothing and would save toooonz of compile time

@noflcl @qz it'd be great for that too, but i put it on a 32GB usb stick (3.0 thankfully)

Ah, also the purpose of it is to have a portable, usable linux everywhere.
