Anyone know if I can run Homebridge on this?

It appears to have docker support.

Curious if possible. Would be wonderful if so.
I have the Asus AC68u on newest Merlin firmware.

Thanks!

Homebridge

Homebridge adds HomeKit support to your non-HomeKit smart home devices.

I don't know if Homebridge will work properly on router?
I understand that your router may work for you currently, but that is an older router, and you could upgrade blah blah blah
Have you looked into Raspberry Pi? Connecting a pi into your network can open a Host of Opportunities: Homebridge Official Pi Install just click the raspberry icon

It appears to have docker support.

But can you run Docker containers on your router?

I can confirm that Homebridge works fine on a Raspberry Pi.

One of the advantages of running homebridge and/or docker on a raspberry pi, is that you'll have tons more community support.

What raspberry pi you recommend?

What raspberry pi you recommend?

I'm running it on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.

Runs fine, but if you can get a 4, why not buy the newest?

Maybe others can tell you whether the cheaper new Zero can handle this as well?

@Zacharybinx34
I'm currently using a Pi 4 8GB purchased a few months ago, and recommend highly! Latest boards are shipping with newer bios and faster clock speeds. Bullseye was recently released, and I can confirm my Pi environment has been working flawlessly.

Buster was recently released

Buster is the previous version (from 2019); in November they released Bullseye.

Bullseye - the new version of Raspberry Pi OS - Raspberry Pi

Every two years, Debian Linux, on which Raspberry Pi OS is based, gets a major upgrade. 'Bullseye' is named after Woody's horse in Toy Story 2
