New Years Ruminations#

2021 will be, I assert confidently, the year I get NixWRT running on my internet gateway at home. A short list of the yaks I need to shave to get there, which you will note is a lot more concrete at the front end than the back:

• swarm: test harness for event system
• swarm: a well-tested event system :-)
• swarm: anything else that needs doing
• see if swarm can implement the existing service abstraction (can it plugin to replace monit?), do whatever necessary if it can't
• dnsmasq
• routing and firewalling (and NAT for IPv4)
• ntp
• bonus points: a better story for firmware upgrades
• bonus points: external "secrets" config so passwords aren't baked in
