Collabora shares with us today a new project that lets you install and run the Debian GNU/Linux operating system on the open-source OpenWrt One router.
Collabora’s Sjoerd Simons has developed openwrt-one-debian, a set of scripts and tools that make it easier for one to install a full Debian GNU/Linux operating system on the OpenWrt One device, leveraging its NVMe storage and giving you the freedom to enable custom services, support for containers, development tools, and more.
“This project provides a Rust-based flasher to install Debian on the OpenWrt One, opening the door to standard Debian tooling, packages, and workflows. For developers and power users, it transforms the OpenWrt One from a network appliance into a compact, general-purpose Linux system,” said Sjoerd Simons.
No curved plastic rubbish, just a square metal box! 👍
Is it really a router if it doesn’t have twenty-five angry antennas sticking up from it?
No, but it does have three antennas, which you can position to form The Trident of Portseidon.
I should hope it would be, because those antennas don’t fit in my rack and wouldn’t be appropriate even if they did (because I have separate WAPs distributed across the house via PoE).
