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.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-container@sha256:35e6e48a341ef7ef

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260626.5284858, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
