netinstall-cli build for ARM

Wed Jul 06, 2022 5:31 am

What chance that there exists a build of Linux netinstall-cli binary that runs on arm?

So far none. You can ask MT directly (e.g. by sending e-mail to support@mikrotik.com), but my guess is that they won't bother supporting that platform/OS combination.

Would make sense to support that any time soon. With RouterOS 7.4 have have container support, would be nice to have netinstall in a container...

After a bit of an adventure, you can actually run the netinstall-cli on ARM perfectly fine using qemu-user binaries

Effectively it will emulate the CPU for the process, it doesn't start a VM as most would know, and leaves the process where it should be (eg. it can access the network perfectly fine)

I have actually bundled this into a container now viewtopic.php?t=189485
