Description
Welcome back to Dev Odyssey Home Networking! In this episode, we learn how to create our own custom image of OpenWrt. You might be wondering, why would you build a custom image of OpenWrt? With a custom built image of OpenWrt, you can preconfigure your router so that it’s ready to go out of the box. All you have to do is power it on. If there is any configuration you have to do afterwards, a custom image reduces post deployment configuration time. Custom images also make upgrading a breeze. Upgrading with a custom image lets you add packages and new configurations to your existing instance, during the upgrade process without using opkg.
To build OpenWrt, you will need the following.
A Linux/GNU based operating system
At least 2 GB or RAM, and at least 10 to 15 GB of disk space.
4 Core CPU
For this video, I’ll be using:
Debian 11.2 Bullseye VM
8 GB of RAM
50 GB of disk space
4 Core CPU
