= Introduction
Liminix is a Nix-based collection of software tailored for domestic wifi
router or IoT device devices, of the kind that OpenWrt or DD-WRT or
Gargoyle or Tomato run on.
== What is Liminix?
This is not NixOS-on-your-router: it's aimed at devices that are
underpowered for the full NixOS experience. It uses busybox tools, musl
instead of GNU libc, and s6-rc instead of systemd.
Liminix is a Nix-based collection of software tailored for domestic
wifi router or IoT devices, of the kind that OpenWrt or DD-WRT
or Gargoyle or Tomato run on. It's not NixOS on your router: we target
devices that are 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.
