FAQ

    • Is VyOS free and open-source software?

      Yes. The complete codebase of the base VyOS system is publicly available under various OSI-approved licenses (mainly GPLv2 for executables and LGPLv2 for libraries).

      For the rolling release, we also maintain publicly available package repositories to simplify building images, so that contributors do not have to build images completely from source. For LTS releases, only the source code is available.

    • What platforms does VyOS support?

      VyOS can be installed on a wide range of off-the-shelf servers and network appliances. We provide special images for some hardware platforms. It also runs on all major hypervisors and cloud environments, including KVM, VMware, Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud, Equinix Metal, and more.

    • What CPU architectures does VyOS support?

      VyOS currently only supports x86-64 CPUs. We may add support for aarch64 and RISC-V in the future, depending on the state of the network hardware and virtualization market for those platforms.

    • What are the minimum hardware requirements?

      The smallest amount of RAM that VyOS can boot with is 512MB. Trying to boot VyOS on machines with less RAM will result in boot errors.

      Otherwise, hardware requirements vary greatly between use cases. For small office use, low end CPUs and 1024MB RAM should be more than enough.

      For high performance routers, high end CPUs and large amounts of RAM are required.

    • What is the VyOS Release Model?

      There are two types of VyOS releases: the rolling release and long term support branches.

      The rolling release branch (git branch “current”) includes the latest code from maintainers and community contributors. It’s tested by an automated test suite and suitable for testing, home lab, and non-critical router use, but may contain experimental features that have not received extensive field testing yet and their config syntax and API may change.

      Long term support branches are periodically split from the current branch. They are stable, and only proven, strictly compatible changes are merged or backported into them. Their config syntax and APIs are guaranteed to remain unchanged, which is important for enterprise users and automation tools.

      Images of the rolling release are public, while long term support release images are only available to subscribers and contributors in binary form.

    • A VyOS LTS release is based on a Debian version that has reached end of support, does it mean that security vulnerabilities remain unpatched?

      VyOS release cycle is not synchronized with Debian and we often do have LTS releases based on Debian versions that reach the end of mainstream support before the end of our own LTS release support cycle. That does not mean that such releases are insecure. We are sponsoring extended LTS for those Debian versions from Freexian and we build many packages from source ourselves.

    • What is the release lifecycle?

      We produce a new LTS release about every two years. New LTS releases may feature significant configuration syntax changes — they are almost always automatically converted on upgrade so there is no need for manual migration, but automation tools may require adjustments for new LTS releases.

      Every LTS branch is then supported for at least three years, with a possibility of extended support if there is customer demand for it.
