It works great on Mikrotik Hap AX2, BUT I have noticed that there is a lot of writes to the disk and its due to atlas probe writing constantly temporary data to \var\atlasdata
I think it would be best to mount \var\atlasdata as 32 MB tmpfs so that internal flash drive wouldn't die too soon.
I have measured that without tmpfs it does 300 000 sector writes DAILY, so its safe to assume it could kill Mikrotik flash in just a few months, same goes for lower quality pendrives.

Temporary solution that I have found is to make ramdisk on mikrotik because doing it from container itself turned out to be harder than I thought without running container as root.

1. Create 32MB ramdisk on mikrotik :
   /disk add type=tmpfs tmpfs-max-size=33554432 slot=atlasdata
2. Mount that ramdisk to a container :
   /container/mounts/add dst=/var/atlasdata name=atlasdata src=atlasdata
