The main “pro” is of course that you can make it do anything you need. Having a canonical source of truth for your network and using that to generate DNS/DHCP configuration and so on is just fantastic. I’m using both which obviously both come with their own pros and cons. (or vanlife) Or use non declarative OPNsense? Has anyone done this successfully before? or am I in uncharted waters? I’m thinking about using NixOS for a home router. All in all, great experience, would recommend, as long as your hardware is well supported. ![]() I also have the root fs on ZFS (sidenote: You don’t need ECC for ZFS that’s a myth. More than once, I’ve made use of NixOS’s ability to rollback generations in the boot loader. I tested it with devices on either side of the NAT and it was able to get full gigabit speed across it.Īnd I really like having NixOS on the thing. I had to fumble about getting NixOS to boot on it because the CM4 wasn’t supported at the time, but it should work with the standard SD image as of a week or so ago. So it’s not full NixOS like I’d like, but I had a really hard time finding acceptable hardware for a good DIY WiFi AP. It plugs into a Ubiquiti switch that powers two Ubiquiti wireless access points. I have a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 on this DFRobot router carrier board acting as NAT, DHCP server, and DNS server on my local network. ![]() I do, but it’s not handling WiFi or switching.
