Hi everybody, I used dude on Windows, il liked it !
Now we need routerOs to use The dude, so I’m looking for the appropriate configuration for me to run the dude easily;)
I m a freelance guy in the sound, I m working on big show in Europe (events, concerts,…)
I design and manage audio and light network, with switches, ap, and specific devices…
An example
Sometimes I teach about audio network too.
So I have two profiles :
for me, I think the best way will be to have a small mikrotik device with wifi and 5 ports switch, and routerOs compatible to run the dude. I think “hap lite” is enough, “hap” will better in wifi and have Poe in/out, and if I want gigabitport, “rb951g-2hnd” will be necessary. For all of these models, there’s a routeros license 4 include in the initial price…??
for my students, I need to recommend the lower price configuration, so it’s the “hap lite” ?
Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad English, I m French
Thank you normis… So the first mikrotik device to use the dude is the RouterBOARD 951Ui-2HnD ?
I don’t want to teach how to configure virtual machine to my students lol
That model also wont do for current version dude. As my colleague said we are now working on dude server package just for Tile (CCR series hardware), x86 and CHR RouterOS hosts. If you just need dude for use in class you can still look for dude v4.0beta3 which supports windows server on the web.
Hello everybody, I m coming back just to know if “the dude” will coming in “low cost” mikrotik , like the RB951G-2hnd, RB2011UIAS or the CRS109-8G ?
I want to buy a gigabit switch with wifi N and the dude support !
For now I m using the Windows server but I would like to go on a separate dude server to follow your updates.
Thank you very well for your soft and equipments !
Time will tell if the dude server package will be returned to mipsbe and ppc devices. For the moment we only will have it available for previously stated ROS devices: CCR (tile) and x86/CHR.
I suppose you could pony up for an x86 license, and install the x86 verion onto a Qemu image and run that on your laptop.
Run the instance with a single virtual NIC bridged to the real NIC, and it would act just like a host on your network.
This seems like an extra hoop to jump through, but at least you’d be able to have a stand-alone “dude box” if you wanted to do it this way.
Yess a dude box can be a good idea, a rb2011 with dude will better
But I think you must stay at a very low price for a dude box. Thanks for your interest !
Hello, I bought a rb3011, it seems easy to configure for a basic setup and for the dude server.
Now I can test lot of things and follow all the RC versions
Thanks mikrotik
Rb750gr3 seems good too, now I m waiting for a wifi version
Can someone point me to the right direction please. I am setting up a new VM and using CHR VMDK 6.37.1.
This vmdk come in preset 128mb space and I can’t find a way to increase that size.
on x86 (non-chr) it formats the disk and tries to use entire disk when installing. CHR is for virtual machines and the assumption is that it is running on the virtual disk, that can be expanded if you so desire.
if CHR sees that disk suddenly has expanded, it will attempt to expand the storage partition. On CHR installation that was done with the version older than 6.35rc36 this will not work as additional partition table changes were needed for this to work at all
