📦 MikroTik Containerized App Management (RouterOS v7)
RouterOS v7 includes native container support, allowing you to run containerized applications directly on supported MikroTik devices, no separate server required.
What you can do:
• Pull container images from registries
• Run services like monitoring agents, DNS, automation tools
• Manage containers via CLI, scripts, or API
• Integrate apps with RouterOS networking, firewall, and routing
This is especially useful for edge deployments, branch offices, labs, and automation-heavy environments where simplicity and control matter.
