This actually did a 1:1 copy of my layout so its an extreme 1000% win.... ive updated the repo, check it whenever you can
https://mymate.network/ is an absolute winner as a The Dude replacement.
It's Open Source, has easy Dude database importing, it has very fast database. This is everything I wished the Dude would have been. It handles 26k devices without even breathing hard. I have a CT with 8 vCPU and 16 gigs of ram allocated to it - 15-30% cpu usage.
I don't use it yet, but it has very cool Wallboard & Dashboard mode with auto-paging for the NOC big screen.
Moreover in the age of agentic coding, I have been able to:
Add buttons to one-click into non-tik devices web interfaces
Add geographic mapping with wireless backhaul pathing (I might submit a PR on this)
Add live weather radar option (also might submit PR on this)
In the age of agentic coding, where every rando launches a "mikrotik controller" SaaS. Mikrotik still has not left the "let's collect ideas from user-base" stage. Really sad.
I've never understood the strategy. They should have long ago already had a CLI/HTTP access to Dude as the first step in a new controller. And that would enable "every rando" to create whatever UI they wanted but be backed by Dude collected data. As the critical element is the collection happens on the routers, not an external site/server, so dude.npk is collecting data regardless of internet/network sitution upstream.
The dude fell because it is a resource hog.
