The idea of running a lite linux server on your Mikrotik router is quite appealing. I can think of many uses: Asterisk PBX, lite web server, haproxy load balancer.
Mikrotik’s official documentation is here.
Mikrotik was kind enough to compile and patch a version of OpenWRT, though there seems to be little documentation otherwise. I made a quick video on getting it loaded, changing the password and changing the IP/routing.
Configuration Files
/etc/configService Commands
/etc/init.dPage on how to build the the above source for your router.
I don’t have time for much these days, otherwise I would do some compiling and testing. If you guys have precompiled files you would like to send my way, or if you have a repository somewhere, please let me know!
