Compare virtual machines and containers, from hypervisors to Docker images, and see how containers on a host operating system deliver fast, portable isolation without VM overhead.
Install the container package on MikroTik RouterOS by verifying architecture (ARM, ARM64, or x86) and upgrading to version higher than 7.5, then download and install the extra package.
Learn to install and run the pi hole container on MikroTik RouterOS, configure container mode, bridges, and environment settings, then verify ad blocking in a test network.
Test the Pi-hole container on MikroTik RouterOS by using port 9 for initial checks, then route DNS via port 10, access the admin page, and confirm ads are blocked.
Install and run the AdGuard container on MikroTik RouterOS, configure a dedicated virtual interface and bridge, pull the latest AdGuard image, and set up upstream DNS to block ads.
Install and run the uptime kuma container on MikroTik RouterOS to monitor network and send telegram or email alerts; fix startup by deleting a file via ftp on RouterOS 7.7.
Maher Haddad delivers MikroTik official trainings in the Netherlands with hands-on labs and an exam to become a certified micro tech engineer, plus online live sessions requiring in-person exams.
Explore how to install and run docker containers on MikroTik RouterOS, with a bonus lecture clarifying container basics and guidance to stay connected through the instructor's platform.
Container is a new technology that becoming famous very fast and in the last few years. For this reason, MikroTik engineers have added the Container feature on their newer RouterOS v7.5 allowing all of us to run container on top of the RouterOS.
But what is container exactly? What is the benefit of running containers? What is the difference between the container and virtual machine? How can we run Container packages on RouterOS? All those questions and much more will be explained in deep details in this course.
I will start 1st explaining the idea of the container, then showing the difference between containers and virtual machine, then I am going to show how you can run the container package on RouterOS. After all this, I will start installing container applications to run on RouterOS.
I am going to show you how you can run the following container applications on RouterOS:
PiHole
Adguard
Uptime-Kuma
Of course the list can go much bigger, but I am sure that you know that I cannot show how to install all container applications on MikroTik RouterOS. For this reason, I have chosen those 3 known applications and run each one of them on a container on MikroTik RouterOS, then test them if they are working properly.
This is the 1st complete course ever available on the internet showing everything you need to know about containers and MikroTik RouterOS.
I hope you will join the course and if you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me.
