Set up and use an LXC container

Goal

Installing an LXC container. Images for the routers are available from the Jenkins website.

Prerequisites

  • NetModule Wireless Router with wireless connection
  • NetModule Software 4.8.0.103 or newer
  • A license is required for the LXC container
  • Not available for legacy products NB1600, NB2700, NB3700, NB3710

1. Set up the LXC Contianer

Activate the LXC container on the router

In the second step the image of the LXC container in this case Debian.

The easiest way to do this is to install the whole thing over the Internet. However, the router requires a mobile connection to the Internet.

From a Jenkins server you get the current image for the container

* Jenkins Server Page / Link

The “armhf” tab is important here

Here you can get a Debina image for buster, bullseye or bookworm.

If you click on the circle with the green rakes, you will be taken to the software. What else is important is that the circle and rakes must be green.

The image is the “rootfs.tar.xz” which is required. With a right click you can copy the link.

It would be structured like this:

https://jenkins.linuxcontainers.org/view/Images/job/image-debian/architecture=armhf,release=bookworm,variant=default/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/rootfs.tar.xz

When the “Apply” button is pressed, Debian will be installed.
