@@zadekeys2194 I couldn't find the exact memory requirement for the pi-hole running on docker, but before the installation I've found a comment on Reddit where the guys showed a picture about the memory usage, so I was like: ok, let's give it a try.

This is absolutely brilliant! The application that I really want to host on my RB5009 is Home Assistant. I am currently running this on an Odroid based Home Assistant Blue platform - but would love to transition to a MikroTik hosted configuration.
RB5009 with samsung t5 ssd on the usb3 port gives amazing diskperformance! @Mikrotik: please add support for the use of usb devices from inside the docker container, that way I could use for example a RF433 gateway on my Domoticz home automation container.
Why this package can't be installed on x86 Cloud Hosted Router?? I do understand the risk involved, but to not include this package because you afraid that some people will get hacked doesn't make any sense!
I'm still having issue trying to run container (adguard or pihole) on my rb5009. The way to get the image directly from docker hub, doesn't work with error not ok registry auth response: 401 Trying to download from pc, save tar, and move to the RB5009 ends up with the error: execve: Exec format error I'm on 7.15.2 and when tested on an x86 vm, works without any issue using the method of uploading .tar manually. Any advice on that?
Hello! If we have no usb ports like ax2 model can we use external storage for containers? For example nas file share or simular? Can we use nvme over tcp for container storage?
Yes, that is a potential solution. Some system files have to be stored on the board memory, but you can create mount points for most of your data storage needs.
I've tried this now for a while and it's working ok-ish, but it's really annoying to automate, because while Mikrotik is Linux, it's so heavily customized that you cannot use standard terminal commands. So you're also kinda stuck with the Mikrotik configuration. So no docker-compose and no management via a portainer-instance. So it's ok for maybe a pihole instance and maybe a small reverse proxy but that's about it.
There are no containers that work on TILE. This is not a MikroTik thing. You can only get software for x86 or ARM. Useless to have a container feature and no containers to use there.
Please normalize volume on these videos (and your current ones where volume is extreme in intro; I have to turn it down)... The intro and outro is so loud compared to Druvis voice in this video.
Wow nice feature! I would love to have access to a small router like an RB760iGS but with a stronger cpu and more ram. I could make the Mikrotik my iot aio gateway with a device like that.

Cool, but don`t know how to use it, for example I have NAS on omv6 where 12GB RAM and 4cores i5, I have 20+ containers for everything (qbittorent, dlna, plex, pihole, adguard etc). In which cases I need docker on mikrotik?
No, it is not powerful enough to run Docker, you need a device with ARM CPU. Another factor, you will not find any Docker image for MIPS processor. Even if we would allow Docker package, you will not find software that will work in MIPS
Can't activate container=yes on my CHR at AWS, GCoreCloud and more. Reboot action makes "soft reboot" for VM, not possible to emulate "power cycle" Please add another option to activate docker.
@@mikrotik I had hap ac with a couple CAP AC, now I bought ax3 and I can't run capsman for those cap AC's, cause they doesn't support Wifiwave2. That's why I need a capsman in a container. It's really strange that I can start a container with a controller for UniFi APs, but can't run native mikrotiks capsman controller..
@@mikrotik I understand that option, but it's not how I want it to be. I wish to have an opportunity to manage old and new devices on one controller. And I need to do the same on all my three locations which has 9 cap and wap ac units (my home, parents home and at fazenda).
we do have docker compatible devices with M.2 slots, but of course they are bigger and more expensive. You can't fit m.2 drives into pocket sized home APs
@@D9ID9I Not as simple as putting a slot on the board. The SoC must have enough lanes to serve the M.2 or have a dedicated chip that handles all of that lanes but communicates to the SoC at the same time. I'm hoping they'll add multiple SATA ports instead of M.2, allows more potential hard storage than just fast or release 2 versions, sata or m2 affordable routerboard
A pi-hole is already running on my hap-ac3, I absolutely love this feature! Nice work!😀
YES
How do you find the RAM usage of the pi-hole? I'm looking at Pi-hole and Uptime Kuma on my AC3 or AX3 when I can get my hands on one.

Yes please
Another request for an API. Would love to better manage my switches with Ansible!
What's wrong with current API ?

That's a true big step. Can't wait to watch part2

Mikrotik 😍 Docker 🤩
I love to watch tutorials doing the same and still my mikrotik router cannot create container option in the menu.
However that is a hap ax3
Hi I have a question. If I create Portainer first, can I easiy create other container or I need to create new veth setting first?
Greatings... How can activate system device mode on a virtual machine?
Hello. I have an RB5009. When i launch more then one container, nothing is working. Only one is working fine..
Darn, and here I was thinking that I would be able to do this on my RB750Gr3.

You guys rock! 🤘
I am going to buy this model RB3011UiAS-RM, does it support docker container?
I love this thanks mikrotik

Yes, that is a potential solution. Some system files have to be stored on the board memory, but you can create mount points for most of your data storage needs.
is this supported on RB1100AHx4 with a SD installed at the back? I tried the pihole installation but the download process fails to store on SD.
Hi Mikrotik, apparently the package is not available on the tile architecture. Any idea when it will become available for download ?
There are no containers that can work on TILE, so there is no use to make container package for TILE
@@mikrotik understood unfortunately my 10G router is tile based

This is great.
Is container support for other architectures in the plans?
Is LXC container support in the plans?
Not really, because containers themselves won’t run on other architectures. This is not really a Mikrotik issue
Web storage means Nextcloud?I’ve looking for a tutorial about Nextcloud on Mikrotik router long time!
Hi, I'm assuming TILE devices won't be supported?

@@mikrotik Thanks for the reply, just wish I had a router that could take advantage of this great feature.
Thanks so much
i install mikrotik x86 on my pc and my cpu intel
can install container??
Cool.
How do you press the „reset“ button on x86 devices? Is it the hard reset?
On x86 perform a "cold reboot" - that is, unplug the power. It's in the manual too.
FYI the music was too loud on this one.
What are the chances of seeing Mikrotik and Kernel 5.10? :)
É por isso que amo mikrotik rsrs !

Correct. Subscribe for part2 to see some examples
Do containers only run as root?
is the usb drive already plugged on the down-right side? I think 5 seconds of telling and touching it to the video would be a little better.
You don’t specifically need an external drive, unless the container is very large
Cool, but don`t know how to use it, for example I have NAS on omv6 where 12GB RAM and 4cores i5, I have 20+ containers for everything (qbittorent, dlna, plex, pihole, adguard etc). In which cases I need docker on mikrotik?
When you want run automatization or monitoring somewhere where you have not server. Maybe.
its more like power efficiency
In cases when you do NOT have "NAS on omv6 where 12GB RAM and 4cores i5" and not going to buy one.
Here is a use case for you... Pi-hole/adguard on the Mikrotik to act as failover for your OMV6 :)

No, just waiting for MT
What about an shdc card (120gb) in an rb450Gx4 for external storage,,,,
Those models that have microSD card storage, can use microSD for Docker, yes
Nice :)
What if your router has no button to push? What if you're using a cloud hosted router?
Reboot by hardware (power off)

Is it possible to use Unbound in Pihole in container?
There are several docker-unbound containers with both tools in one

Work's perfectly on HAP_AC3. Can the container be updated in any way when for example new version of Pihole is out?

At the moment this is not possible. We are looking into other ways to improve migration. For now, you must run old capsman on a separate device.
