A while ago I wrote about my VyOS config for Init7’s Fiber7-X product. Since then there has been a number of breaking changes, and a few additions that I would like to cover. I will copy/paste a lot of the narrative from that post, and avoid a bit of the abstract conversation that went with it, so that this stands on its own. If you have questions or comments, hit me up.

Updated Jun 2024: This Vyos 1.4 config is now broken if you use a recent vyos 1.5 rolling release. I made a new post here that mirrors this one, but with the correct syntax! Updated Aug 2022: After moving house I have been able to split my install between the basement and the house, so I bought myself an Dell Optiplex 7050 to be the VyOS router (the OTO is in the house), and then run a 10G fibre to the basement for the rest of the stuff.
