      1 Introduction

      4 Liminix is a Nix-based collection of software tailored for domestic
      5 wifi router or IoT device devices, of the kind that OpenWrt or DD-WRT
      6 or Gargoyle or Tomato run on.

      8 This is not NixOS-on-your-router: it's aimed at devices that are
      9 underpowered for the full NixOS experience. It uses busybox tools,
     10 musl instead of GNU libc, and s6-rc instead of systemd.

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