= MikroTik CHR on VPS =
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 increase the CPU and memory as your needs/use dictates.
*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
*Then copy and run the entire block of commands below into the terminal. Verify the name of the interface in line 4 matches what your VPS uses.
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.
== Configuration ==
*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>
'''If the IP address and Gateway were not properly set at installation:'''
----
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 address add address=<ip address> netmask=<netmask> interface=ether1'''
**Set Gateway IP address with: '''/ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=<gateway IP>'''
== Finishing Up ==
*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 [https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/First+Time+Configuration First Time Configuration] section

"''The Mi6WAN network is our Internet Protocol (IP) Based network. Utilizing microwave, fiber and wireless connections we have built a High-Speed Point to Point and Point to Multipoint network using standards based protocols and RF gear. Our links are measured in MBPS not bps like traditional ax.25 based amateur radio based networks. We are currently allocated subnets from the AMPRNet 44/8 of 44.103/19 and 44.103.32/21. These subnets we have allocated down to our different sites for the needs of our network. We primarily transport data in support of our other projects as IP is becoming more and more the standard to transport audio/video/data.''"
