Hi Mikrotik team, You’ve been doing some great work on non-Windows apps.. Any chance we will see NetInstall for MacOS?

I did not try, but I think netinstall-cli should work. As far as I know, netinstall-cli is a static compiled binary, so it should work Of course, if you want the GUI, there is no official Netinstall. You could give a try with Wine, WinBox 3 works correctly with Wine, Netinstall should. I’m intere…

If it existed, I’d still tell you to do it this way instead .

You could use [image] pyNetinstall - Free and Open Source netInstall implementation for Flashing Mikrotik RouterBoards General Hi! We’re heavy using Mikrotiks in our environment and automation is very important for us. We’re generating the configuration for ou…

[image] tangent: do it this way instead Agreed, use a VM. I’ve used a Windows VM on my Macs for netinstall these last five years, as I can pass through whichever dongle or onboard Ethernet interface (or VLAN-tagged virtual interface) that is plugged into the router or switch to the VM, and I …

But, using UTM with the Ubuntu 14.04 x64 VM from the UTM gallery in emulation mode and the virtual network adapter b…

I already package up CHR for UTM so it works like UTM gallery... I'll see about a UTM package with netinstall at some point, since that be handy and I use a container on RouterOS today. [image] petertosh: UTM with the Ubuntu 14.04 x64 And, it perform much better with Alpine or more basic De…

I’m also using CrossOver wine build, free build provided by Gcenx with Sikarugir (ex. Kegworks/Wineskin). Issue (device was not netbooted) that I was facing on Mac, until figured out, was not related to Wine itelf, it was due to Mac firewall (it should be disabled) and wifi interface (also disabled …
