my router is so underutilized I might just move jellyfin onto it

@merlin genuinely, I feel many people self hosting a server at home are forgetting they already have a Linux box 24/7 powered on

I feel like 80% of home assistant use cases could be made to work in one OpenWrt LuCI module

or even a pubnix

@eloy @merlin you should ask @ezio about her router-hosted sharkey

@snow @ezio @merlin 👀

@eloy @merlin To be fair most home routers seem even less powerful than a RaspberryPi 1.

But definitly could be used to host few things or even just basic services that barely require ressources (like reminds me of wondering about having an HTTP/HTTPS reverse-proxy on my router, which actually has ressources to spare).

@eloy @snow @merlin https://shonk.reimu.info it runs on some netgear with like half a gig of ram, infinite swap, docker and native redis, and it somehow still works

@eloy @merlin the way OpenWrt updates work where you need to reboot to update any packages is annoying if you're running anything that needs long-lived connections (e.g. an IRC bouncer, that would otherwise easily fit on many of these routers)

I know why it's necessary for routers with very little disk space/RAM but on my 1GB RAM/8GB eMMC router I wish it worked more like a normal distro

@merlin Yes, please, give me access to your router, you will certainly not regret giving me access to your router, I will totally be nice to your IPv6 addressing

@jana thanks to you I even use IPv6 addresses instead of routing everything link-local

@merlin Good Merlin ^^
