Hi, I’ve been using the openwrt image for lxc containers for a while and it’s been great. I’m running now into an issue where I need to tune the kernel for certain openwrt features and I can’t tune the host’s kernel for that. So, I’m attempting to use an incus vm for it, however, the openwrt image is only available for containers, not vms.
Would it be possible to add a build for openwrt vm images?
It’s probably possible, but we’d need someone who’s familiar with OpenWRT image building to contribute the missing logic to distrobuilder as the OpenWRT handling in there is limited to containers currently.
Thanks. I found this github issue: OpenWRT VM images · Issue #892 · lxc/distrobuilder · GitHub … Looks like someone’s started working on it. Not sure what the progress is or if there’s anything I can do to help.
just download Generic x86/64 openwrt image then convert it qcow2 then create metadata.yaml
