Default Settings#

By default, 300MB is allocated for firmware use and 25MB for the Linux kernel.
Default OpenWrt LuCI backend address: 192.168.1.2
Account: root Password: password

Virtualization & Partitioning#

If you choose to virtualize OpenWrt, you need to allocate at least 512MB of memory and 512MB of storage. If there are many devices and Docker is enabled, it is recommended to expand the running memory and storage space according to the applications.
When using Docker, it is recommended to allocate as much as possible in GB; those who know how to use it will understand. If you haven't used it before, you can try allocating 1GB to install an internal network speed test, or not allocate at all.
Tested only under VMware ESXi; PVE and other KVM-based systems have not been tested, but virtual hard disks for PVE and KVM are available.

Q&A#

How to change the default backend IP address of OpenWrt?#

Modify the IP address in option ipaddr by editing vi /etc/config/network.

After finishing, press Esc, then press :, and type wq! (force save and exit).

Change the default password#

Type passwd in the terminal.

Will there be updates in the future?#

Yes! But it depends on availability. New protocols or software may be tried out before being released. Generally, plugins can be updated in OpenWrt; updating is just to resolve dependencies, and firmware stability is the most important.

Are you an expert? Can you provide help?#

I am not an expert; I just share self-compiled OpenWrt firmware. I think it is useful enough to share with everyone and can only provide technical assistance within that scope.

There is a bug; how to report it?#

You can ask me questions in the comments section for troubleshooting. It seems that OpenClash and Passwall cannot be used?

If you want to suggest more plugins, please describe them in the comments section.

If this helps you, you can choose to reward me with a QR code in the donation section!
