So...disable the container feature? Do you just not review the configuration of your networking equipment? It is a convenient way to maximize hardware in SOHO

  Edge equipment should not be multi-purpose, "maximizing hardware" or not. This pursuit of saving money has given us weak boundaries that are relatively easy to cross, which will ultimately cost substantially more given any successful attack. The risk of an attack is an existential threat to the business itself. Do you really want to risk your entire business because you are trying to save a few hundred for a separate device? There are places to try to save money and consolidate workloads, but edge routers are not it.

  I was initially inclined to agree, especially since openwrt can run docker too, but I think it's fair to question both defaults and supported modes of operation, and how much work it is to go from the default to the desired target state. If out of the box openwrt has less attack surface and you have to go out of your way to add those features, that's probably better than a jack-of-all-trades that comes out of the box with loads of attack surface that you have to pare down and hope that removing the features you don't want is possible/supported.

  RouterOS by default doesn't have container support. It's a separate package which has to be installed on the system. And it is still in testing / beta phase.
