This repo just contains a bunch of notes and files related to setting up my home router

The idea

Use CoreOS Container Linux as the base for a home router, where the router and helpers for each network are separated into containers, using systemd nspawn.

The hardware

The setup consists if a PCEngines apu2c4 powered with PoE.

The network

The first ethernet port on the apu is used connected to the internet, the second is connected to a "trunk" port on my switch and used as a VLAN agregator. The third port is used for a management network and used to ssh into the apu.

Notes

Things to install in the toolbox

apt install bash-completion vim git tmux kitty-terminfo debootstrap

Enable containers

At the moment containers need to be enabled by hand:

for c in /etc/systemd/nspawn/*.nspawn; do basename $c .nspawn | xargs -n1 sudo machinectl enable; done

Also if machines.target is not enabled:

systemctl list-units --type=target

Do so:

sudo systemctl enable machines.target

Also if a container times out on start edit its override:

sudo systemctl edit systemd-nspawn@<countainer name>

And add:

[Service]
TimeoutSec=600

If a container needs to start after another container add:
