Known Issues

Failed to opkg update

Use http instead of https

sed -i -r -e "s|(\shttp)s(://\w+.openwrt.org/)|\1\2|" /etc/opkg/*.conf

No space left

No USB keyboard input

No USB keyboard input when I boot into OpenWrt (snapshot version).

The required drivers are not built into the kernel. We must build it ourselves with these:

CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-hid=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-hid-generic=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-input-evdev=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-usb-hid=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-usb-uhci=y

Docker pull fails

Failed to register layer when docker pull:

# docker pull caddy
...
4f4fb700ef54: Download complete
failed to register layer: lsetxattr security.capability /usr/bin/caddy: operation not supported

Build with DOCKER_​STO_​EXT4 enabled (make menuconfig), details in #16181
