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 just systemd is already 180MiB so this will never work with normal NixOS on this device
@noflcl finding that out made me learn a cool nix command tho:
try `$ nix path-info -rhS $(which systemctl)`
oh damn how is glibc already 30MB?
4,4 MiB is just a chinese character collation
@qz you could reduce localization to US only, consider running init startup instead of systemd?
