# Installing the Domotz Agent – OpenWrt (x86-64)

The currently supported method to run the agent directly from a router running OpenWRT is using a Docker image, on this example we are using the Docker.

## Installing Docker

Connect via SSH to the OpenWRT router (**root**user is the default user):

```
ssh root@192.168.1
```

Run the following to install the docker daemon and the Luci app ( to get a control panel for docker containers in Luci):

```
opkg update
opkg install dockerd luci-app-dockerman
```

All dependencies should be resolved automatically.

## Installing the Domotz Pro Agent Container

While still connected to the router via SSH, run the following command to download the image and deploy the Domotz Pro agent container.

```
docker run --name domotz_agent --restart always --network=host --cap-add NET_ADMIN -d domotz/domotzpro-agent-amd64
```

The container will then be installed with the name **domotz_agent** and it will always start with the system.
