|
|
|
A Nix-based system for configuring consumer wifi routers or IoT device
|
|
|
|
|
devices, of the kind that OpenWrt or DD-WRT or Gargoyle or Tomato run
|
|
|
|
|
on. It's a reboot/restart/rewrite of NixWRT.

|
This is not NixOS-on-your-router: it's aimed at devices that are
|
2022-09-20 22:04:08 +00:00
|
|
|
underpowered for the full NixOS experience. It uses busybox tools,
|
|
|
|
|
musl instead of GNU libc, and s6-rc instead of systemd.

The Liminix name comes from Liminis, in Latin the genitive declension
|
|
|
|
|
of "limen", or "of the threshold". Your router stands at the threshold
|
|
|
|
|
of your (online) home and everything you send to/receive from the
|
|
|
|
|
outside word goes across it.
