OpenWrt qemu docker container for arm64

Based on the great works of https://github.com/qemus/qemu-docker. Thanks!

QEMU in a docker container for running arm64 virtual machines. Tested on Raspberry Pi 5.

It uses high-performance QEMU options (like KVM acceleration, kernel-mode networking, IO threading, etc.) to achieve near-native speed.

Images can be found a docker hub https://hub.docker.com/r/albrechtloh/qemu-openwrt

Features

• KVM acceleration
• Web-based viewer for tty console
• Attaches two physical Ethernet interfaces exclusively into the docker container
• USB passthrough e.g. for modem or Wi-Fi
• Automatic config migration when OpenWrt is updated (experimental)
