I absolutely have and used it for a while before landing on opensuse microos primarily. I absolutely see the benefit and enjoyed the git-centric nature, keeping flakes in repos with a flavor for each machine. What I didn't enjoy, however, was the seemingly poor documentation. Quite frankly too, the drama surrounding the community doesn't inspire confidence either. I decided I ought to try out guix but haven't gotten to it yet. I do actually still have one nixos VM that hosts some services for me and is built entirely on the concept of the impermanence flake. That was pretty cool.

Excellent! Let me know if there are specific things you'd like to hear about.
Absolutely! I'd happily take any comments you have from running it in an enterprise setting, if you care to share.
That's not how that works. network_mode: host shares the network namespace with the container host, so it doesn't do any NAT, it only exists on the host's IP. It would be akin to running a natively installed app, rather than in a container. macvlan networking is what gives a container its own IP on the logical network, without the layer of NAT that the default bridge mode networking that docker typically does.
God hasn't responded to a single one of my issues or merged a pull request since I started on this earth. Slacker.
Today I fell off a ledge into orbit.
I would love to if I had them! Haha. I'm working on the dashboard right now, which will be part two.
I don't have a great answer on the IOPS requirement, but I imagine it's less than something based on elasticsearch/open search based on the reindexing. I'll try and benchmark it if possible.
Great question, I've asked myself the same thing.
First, in my opinion they serve to achieve different things. While openwrt is a firewall, it'd a simple zone based firewall and it designed primarily as router firmware, not firewall software.
Opnsense is BSD based, openwrt is Linux based. Those both haves pros and cons. BSD has serious pedigree in the networking world. Juniper switches are still based on BSD even. Openwrt gets the Linux traffic shaping goodies like cake though.
I chose openwrt because it's more suited to my environment, where I have 10 VLANs, a 10G fiber core, and want IDS/IPS. Openwrt is meant to be lighter weight, but is less feature-full.
There's not even a potential Oxford comma in there. It's an interjection, not a list.
Isn't it the best? Somehow all the big log and aggregation stacks are java... Elk, graylog, wazuh...
You are absolutely correct, thank you. Sadly a bunch of devices still don't support it, even in 2025 (like my microtik switch) for example. I will absolutely add a note about that though, thank you!
