Instructions for installing the MikroTik Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) on a VPS provider.
Note: You will be overwriting the existing VPS server using this guide.
== Preparation ==
*Spin up a VPS using a Debian based Linux distro
**Choose one with at least one CPU and 512MB of memory. You can go larger or smaller as your needs dictate.
*Login to VPS
== Installation ==
*Run the following to replace the Linux install on the VPS.
Note: Adjust the /dev/vda listed in the last line to match the actual drive used in the VPS.
*First make sure the packages information is up to date
apt-get update
*Ensure unzip is installed
apt-get install unzip
*Set '''$ADDRESS''' to the IP address the MikroTik CHR will use
*Set $GATEWAY to the IP address of the Gateway the MikroTik CHR will use
set $ADDRESS="1.1.1.1"
set $GATEWAY="2.2.2.2"
*Then copy and run the entire block of commands below into the terminal
wget https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/6.48.3/chr-6.48.3.img.zip -O chr.img.zip && \
gunzip -c chr.img.zip > chr.img && \
mount -o loop,offset=33554944 chr.img /mnt && \
ADDRESS=`ip addr show ens3 | grep global | cut -d' ' -f 6 | head -n 1` && \
GATEWAY=`ip route list | grep default | cut -d' ' -f 3` && \
echo "/ip address add address=$ADDRESS interface=[/interface ethernet find where name=ether1] /ip route add gateway=$GATEWAY " > /mnt/rw/autorun.scr && \
umount /mnt && \
echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger && \ dd if=chr.img bs=1024 of=/dev/vda
*Once you successfully complete the above, power off (do not shut down) the VPS and then turn it back on to boot into MikroTik CHR.
*Login to the MikroTik CHR via the terminal using admin for the username with no password
*Change the default admin password with:
/user set name=admin password=<new password>
== Network Configuration ==
Set $ADDRESS and $GATEWAY first or replace them in the line below with the actual values.
echo "/ip address add address=$ADDRESS interface=[/interface ethernet find where name=ether1] /ip route add gateway=$GATEWAY"
*If the above does not work on setting the IP address and gateway properly:
**Set IP address with: '''/ip addres interface=ether1 add address=<ip address> netmask=<netmask>'''
**Set Gateway IP address with: '''/ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=<gateway IP>'''
*Now login to the web page of your MikroTik CHR using http://<IP> or download Winbox from https://mikrotik.com/download to login and configure your MikroTik CHR.
*Read the documentation at https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Getting+started pay special attention to the First Time Configuration section
