Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Can a device like this act as my router?
It's just hardware. Almost any device can act as your router if you put the proper OS and/or software on it.
Fair enough.
That's pretty much exactly what this device is supposed to do. But just to be clear, any computer with a NIC (ethernet port) can be a router.
Do make a useful router for your home, you need a Intel or AMD CPU (x86) and 2 NICs.
This device is specifically designed for someone who wants to setup 10gbe networking.
You also need software.
OPNsense is a great example of software like this. Many home labbers use something like OPNsense installed on a device such as this for their router.
Thank you for the detailed response! I'm going to give it a try! This will be a step up from OpenWRT on a cheap router, I'll bet!
