jannispinter/arch-openwrt-buildroot repository overview

⁠Arch Linux based OpenWrt Buildroot

This is an Arch Linux based docker container for the OpenWrt buildroot.

Derived from noonien⁠

Because the build system requires that its commands are not executed by root, the user openwrt was created. The buildroot can be found in /home/openwrt/openwrt.

⁠Installation

⁠Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/jannispinter/arch-openwrt-buildroot.git

⁠Build the docker image

cd arch-openwrt-buildroot
docker build -t="arch-openwrt-buildroot:trunk" .

The dot at the end indicates that docker build will use the current directory to find the Dockerfile.

⁠Usage

⁠1. Run the docker image

docker run -i -t arch-openwrt-buildroot:trunk

⁠2. You might want to install all the feeds

./scripts/feeds install -a

⁠3. Configure your OpenWrt image

make menuconfig

Follow the official OpenWrt Buildroot instructions: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build⁠

⁠Copy OpenWrt images to host system

You can use docker cp to copy the binary image out of the container to your host system.

docker cp <containerId>:/home/openwrt/openwrt/bin/<arch>/<imagefile.bin> /host/path/target
