- I’ve just bought a #BananaPi R3. As an avid user of #Openwrt and #Yunohost I’m thinking that it would make sense to have the capabilities of both on that device since it has space for an #SSD - Does any one know of any projects that are bringing the features of both types of services together into one solution. i.e a lightweight home server and configurable router in one?
The R3 isn’t really powerful enough for that.
On small x86 routers you can install Opnsense or IPfire which come with some non-router software to run a reverse-proxy or so. IP fire also allows to run full VMs, but the more advanced features are pretty limited.
Some people also do the reverse and run a full OS on them and then virtualize Opnsense and directly pass through a NIC to that VM.
@poVoq Yeah I was thinking that the overhead of a Hypervisor was a bit much hence something that is a bit more lightweight.
