MikroTik CHR Installer

Run MikroTik Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) on a Debian VPS using QEMU.

Automatically handles:

• QEMU setup
• TAP interface
• IP forwarding & NAT
• systemd service

Install

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Choose:

• 1 - Install MikroTik CHR
• 2 - Uninstall (Keep packages)
• 3 - Uninstall & Purge (Remove QEMU & packages)

Setup

After running the installer (Option 1), the script prompts you to open the RouterOS console immediately to configure the network.

1. Login as admin with a blank password.
2. Paste the initial network commands:

/ip address add address=100.64.0.2/24 interface=ether1
/interface ethernet set ether1 arp=proxy-arp
/ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=100.64.0.1

3. Exit the console by pressing Ctrl + A, release, then press X.

The installer automatically starts the systemd background service upon exit.

Manual Console Access (If needed later)

systemctl stop mikrotik-chr.service
eval $(grep ExecStart /etc/systemd/system/mikrotik-chr.service | cut -d '=' -f 2-)

CHR is now running in the background.
