Description

relates to #611

Nix seems to have image builder for openwrt (it uses just uses nix to hotwire the image builder) .

https://github.com/astro/nix-openwrt-imagebuilder

I got it to build an image , however i can't test it.

@sarcasticadmin , it may have value, it may not.... wadda ya think?

@nixinator definitely would be interested in looking into this.

Share with me the image you built and I can run it on our hardware fairly easily. magic-wormhole whenever youre ready :slightly_smiling_face:

This is going to require a lot more work since it looks like the existing project cant build from source: https://github.com/astro/nix-openwrt-imagebuilder/issues/24#issuecomment-1484081593
