routeros-container skillB

routeros-container is agent-read markdown (skill) from tikoci/routeros-skills: RouterOS /container subsystem for running OCI containers on MikroTik devices. Use when: enabling containers on RouterOS, setting up VETH/bridge networking for containers, managing container lifecycle via CLI or REST API, building OCI images for RouterOS, configuring container environment variables, troubleshooting container issues, or when the user mentions RouterOS container, /container, VETH, device-mode container, or MikroTik Docker..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# RouterOS Container Subsystem

## Overview

RouterOS 7.x includes a container subsystem (`/container`) that runs OCI-compatible container images directly on MikroTik hardware. It is NOT Docker — it's MikroTik's own implementation with significant differences.

**Requirements:**

- RouterOS 7.x with `container` extra package installed
- Device-mode must be enabled (requires physical access for initial setup)
- Sufficient storage (external USB disk recommended, 100+ MB/s, 10K+ random IOPS)
- ARM, ARM64, or x86 architecture (MIPS not supported for containers)

## Device-Mode — Physical Access Required

Container support is gated behind device-mode, which requires physical confirmation (reset button press or power cycle) to enable:

```routeros
# Enable container mode
/system/device-mode/update mode=advanced container=yes

# After executing: physically confirm within activation-timeout
# - Press reset button, OR
# - Power cycle the device
```

Device-mode is a general RouterOS security feature — not container-specific. It gates many features (scheduler, fetch, sniffer, etc.) across four modes (`home`, `basic`, `advanced`, `rose`) with device-dependent factory defaults.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-container@git:20260626.5284858
Exact content
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-container@sha256:35e6e48a341ef7ef

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
