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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
