Raspberry Pi 5 Installation

NethSecurity
1

Is it possible to install the NethSecurity Firewall onto a Raspberry Pi 5. I would love to have a look at this new firewall.

Thanks in advance

According to the manual, on June 2024 it runs only on x86_64: System requirements — NethSecurity documentation

That’s is a pity it doesnt run on something like a Pi. With a small form factor a Pi 5 would be great for running a small firewall

AFAIK, the rpi5 has only one ethernet port, you usually need two for a firewall.

BTW, you could try to build NethSecurity for the rpi, most of the features should work flawlessly.

The RPi5 does have only one ethernet port, however I have a USB to ethernet adapter that works on the Pi 5 to give me the secondary port.

I would love to give it a try if you think its possible. Will NethSecurity install on any flavour of Linux, as I’m tied with what can be installed on rpi5.

Thanks in Advance Robert

Instead of pod man, can a person use docker?

There will be issues with the build output (they will be owned by root:root), AFAIK after a chown nothing will be out of order. Haven’t tried that tho.
