Erbium

Erbium[^0] provides networking services for use on small/home networks. Erbium currently supports both DNS and DHCP, with other protocols hopefully coming soon.

Erbium is in early development.

  • DNS is beta quality. Should be ready for test use.
  • DHCP is beta quality. Should be ready for test use.
  • Router Advertisements are beta quality. Should be ready for test use.

Building

Erbium uses the standard rust build chain: cargo.

To download, compile, link and install erbium you can use the following command:

$ cargo install erbium --bin erbium --root /usr/local

You will need a configuration file
