Docker Pull OpenWrt for Windows 10

Introduction

As an experienced developer, I will guide you through the process of pulling OpenWrt using Docker on Windows 10. Docker is a platform that allows you to create, deploy, and run applications using containers. OpenWrt is an open-source firmware for routers and other embedded devices. By pulling OpenWrt using Docker, you can easily set up and run OpenWrt on your Windows 10 machine.

Process Overview

To pull OpenWrt using Docker on Windows 10, you need to follow the steps outlined below:

    section Access OpenWrt Web Interface

Step 1: Install Docker

Before you can pull OpenWrt using Docker, you need to have Docker installed on your Windows 10 machine. Follow these steps to install Docker:

  1. Download Docker Desktop for Windows from the official Docker website.
  2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
  3. Once Docker is installed, open the Docker Desktop application.

Step 2: Pull OpenWrt Image

After installing Docker, you can proceed to pull the OpenWrt image from the Docker Hub. Use the following command to pull the OpenWrt image:

docker pull openwrtorg/rootfs:latest

This command will download the latest OpenWrt image from the Docker Hub. The image will be stored locally on your Windows 10 machine.

Step 3: Create and Run OpenWrt Container

With the OpenWrt image downloaded, you can now create and run a container based on that image. Use the following command to create the container:

docker create --name openwrt-container -p 80:80 openwrtorg/rootfs:latest

This command creates a container named "openwrt-container" using the OpenWrt image. It also maps port 80 of the container to port 80 of the host machine, allowing access to the OpenWrt web interface.

To start the container, use the following command:

docker start openwrt-container

This command starts the container and makes it accessible on port 80 of your Windows 10 machine.

Step 4: Access OpenWrt Web Interface

Once the container is running, you can access the OpenWrt web interface using your web browser. Open a new tab in your browser and enter the following URL:

http://localhost/

This will open the OpenWrt web interface, where you can configure and manage your OpenWrt installation.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully pulled OpenWrt using Docker on your Windows 10 machine. Docker provides an easy and convenient way to set up and run OpenWrt without the need for complex installations. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can now explore and utilize the features of OpenWrt for your networking needs.
