This container subject is still new and we would like more content to further explore this feature. In the forum we also have little news explaining better about the subject. More videos on this subject will always be very welcome. A list of supported containers would also be an excellent idea. Thank you very much!
Congratulations on the excellent explanatory videos about containers. I would like you to make more videos teaching how to install other container options, example: DLNA server (minidlna). Thanks :)
I find your videos most insightful. How about doing a video showing us how to do rose-storage to a linux server for possible storage for containers for Mikrotik boards without USB slots?
@@mikrotik Could you please create a guide about ROSE + Pi-hole? It would be the most helpful video on TH-cam for MikroTik owners I can confirm this as the owner of a hAP AX2 without a USB port :(
DON'T READ THE SUBTITLES guys! :) Druvis clearly says "hAP ac2" - but the subtitles show hAP ax2 :). BIG difference! :) ac2 = 128 MB RAM and 16 MB disk ax2 = 1 GB RAM and 128 MB disk - all 8 times bigger! :) (and ARM64, not 32-bit ARM) Here he's showing example with OLD ac2!
can you use dockerfiles with this method? and seeing as you use 60MB of the remaining 64MB of ram for your tmpfs, does that mean the container can only use up to 4MB of ram before your device runs out of memory? does the container process take additional memory? how many containers can you do with this method?
No, we just set the maximum tmpfs size as 60, it is not taken up by anything. The alpine container on its own only uses a couple of MB from those 60MB and the rest can still be used by the system if needed.
Please add support for adding containers from *.gz files. The .tar for my container is so big that I have to delete it to be able to install ROS updates...
I need to run container with NordVPN client on hAP ax2... Is it possible to install it in main internal memory? For using while travelling, i.e. without usb storage and nfs/smb share available
You don’t need a container, it would overcomplicate the setup. You can connect to Nord directly from the MikroTik router, they have instructions for it support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1360295132/MikroTik-IKEv2-setup-with-NordVPN.htm
@@mikrotik my government had blocked WireGuard and OpenVPN and IKEv2 traffic on network level. The only working option by NordVPN is proprietary obfuscated OpenVPN protoicol which requires NordVPN proprietary client to work.

I have this hap AX3 from june but had time to work on it just few days ago and now I'm so impressed with the power it has, beautiful!

What if you add option "recreate on reboot" to make life easier.

We will cover ROSE in the near future :)

Great solution! Can we use rose-storage (nvme over tcp) to get it as a storage for our containers?
For sure!
Very interesting video! Thanks!

Thanks, we fixed it.
Does the hAP ax2 really have USB? I just recently bought one, but I can't see any USB port, so it must be very well hidden 😅
ac2 has it, ax2 does not
I hope they will rethink this and release ax2_v2 with usb for $5 more.
Please make video about the voice vlan and the lldp-med-net-policy-vlan feature 🙏on CRS switchs
Not even 8 min of video with a million possibilities of use.

Can temporary container install a local image? I tried uploading a .tar and install it but it tells me cannot import file(6)
So... yeah container will run. But storage problem is still there
Can't I run routerOS on a conteiner with alpine?
RouterOS needs full control of the hardware, so you cannot simply put it in a container.

The most important thing you didn't show us: how much of RAM left you had after running the container.
Now if only the devices had more RAM....
Damn you make me feel like a Linux rookie
