Bringing together lxc/distrobuilder and OpenWrt container

[umiddelb]

Hi all,

I'm a passionate user of the containerized openWRT distribution on top of Proxmox VE. In order to make OpenWrt running within LXC some patching needs to take place, e.g. commenting out jail related stuff in start-up scripts like /etc/init.d/dnsmasq.
Yesterday I was able to get in touch with Paul (@aparcar) from the OpenWrt team. He is working on containerized OpenWrt flavours.
My aim is to bring both parties together in order to get a better OpenWrt/LXC experience since there are still some limitations to overcome and to lower each others effort, e.g. getting a smooth and sustainable way to distinguish between different runtime environments and to handle them appropriately.

Cheers

Uli

I think even more people would profit from such collaboration, maybe we can get ContainerLab folks in the loop.
