Software for Homeserver router combo
!Selfhosted - I've just bought a #BananaPi R3. As an avid user of #Openwrt and #Yunohost I'm thinking that it would make sense to have the capabilities of both on that device since it has space for an #SSD - Does any one know of any projects that are bringing the features of both types of services together into one solution. i.e a lightweight home server and configurable router in one?

On small x86 routers you can install Opnsense or IPfire which come with some non-router software to run a reverse-proxy or so. IP fire also allows to run full VMs, but the more advanced features are pretty limited.
Some people also do the reverse and run a full OS on them and then virtualize Opnsense and directly pass through a NIC to that VM.

Let your router be just a router. Simple = reliable.
