Abstract

NixOS, with its ability to centrally manage multiple devices, is an ideal way to maintain a network infrastructure that consists of multiple devices (routers, switches, access points). This presentation will provide an overview of how NixOS can be utilized on routers. This will include configuration based on systemd-networkd for routing and switching, as well as hostapd for Wi-Fi. It aims to provide you with tips on setting up your network infrastructure on NixOS itself.

I am a long-time open-source enthusiast. I studied at CTU Prague, where I occasionally still teach. In the past, I worked on open-source routers, Turris. Now I am developing NuttX-based systems for trams.
