OpenWRT builder for R7800 with add-ons for my personal setup

OpenWRT Builder for Netgear R7800 (with extras)

OpenWRT builder for R7800 with add-ons for my personal setup. Docker image prebaked with US/New_York timezone. If you need to change the timezone information, adjust the Dockerfile where it sets up the quiet tzdata package install.

The following changes have been made from the default:

• LuCi with material theme
  • luci
  • luci-theme-material
  • luci-app-uhttpd
  • luci-app-upnp
• USB drive support
  • kmod-usb-storage
  • kmod-usb-storage-uas
  • usbutils
• WPA3 support
  • Remove wpad-basic
  • Add wpad-openssl
• Time Machine support
  • avahi-utils
  • netatalk

If you want to start from scratch comment out the line in Dockerfile that copies the config.properties into the container. You will also need to update the timezone settings.

Build Docker Container & Run

To build the container run the following command:

docker build -t openwrt/builder-r7800-us-ny:latest --no-cache .

To run the container:

docker run -it openwrt/builder-r7800-us-ny:latest

Building OpenWRT

Run make menuconfig to run further configuration.

Run make to build image or...

Run make -j5 download world to run make with five jobs / threads (if you have 4 cores, for example) or...

Run make -j1 V=sc if you run into problems.

Finishing up

Don't forget to retrieve your builds when the build is done or they will be lost. Use docker ps to discover the docker container hash. Then use docker cp to copy the builds locally.

Example:

docker cp -a <docker_container_hash>:/openwrt/bin ./bin/
