About this project

This project provides a Docker image for OpenThread Border Router built from openthread/ot-br-posix source. It includes REST API and Web UI with user-defined ports, targeting Home Assistant integration. Supports amd64 and arm64 architectures. Features an enhanced firewall with dynamic IPv6 prefix detection (runtime toggle), NAT64 translation using upstream's CIDR-based translator (runtime toggle), and OpenThread's built-in mDNS implementation without external daemons. Configurable via environment variables for device paths, ports, log levels, and feature toggles. Host system requires ip6table_filter kernel module and specific sysctl settings for IPv6 operation. Docker Compose example provided for deployment. Image auto-updates when upstream openthread/border-router releases new versions.
