sha256sum -c sha256sums --ignore-missing 

or

echo "bf69a9ae42825a76c449699f393b8aa35216f3ffef428ae851d76ce4386bd3c3 *openwrt-x86-64-generic-squashfs-combined.img.gz" | shasum -a 256 --check

Make sure its OK before upload it。

Usage

• Fork this Repo or Click the Use this template button to create a new repository。
• Generate .config files using LEDE source code。(You can change it through environment variables in the workflow file。)
• Push .config file to the GitHub repository，and the build starts automatically.Progress can be viewed on the Actions page。
• When the build is complete，click the Artifacts button in the upper right corner of the Actions page to download the binaries。

Tips

It may take a long time to create a .config file and build the OpenWrt firmware。Thus，before create repository to build your own firmware，you may check out if others have already built it which meet your needs by simply search Actions-Openwrt in GitHub。

Add some meta info of your built firmware (such as firmware architecture and installed packages) to your repository introduction，this will save others' time。

Clone

git clone https://github.com/coolsnowwolf/lede

Custom

# Modify default IP
sed -i 's/^#\(.*helloworld\)/\1/' feeds.conf.default
sed -i 's/192.168.1.1/192.168.0.1/g' package/base-files/files/bin/config_generate

Install feeds

./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

Generate config

make menuconfig

(Option) Download .config

cd ~/lede
rm .config
wget -O .config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eallion/openwrt/main/.config 

Make

make download -j8
make V=s -j$(nproc)

Remake

cd lede
git pull
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make defconfig
make download -j8
make V=s -j$(nproc)

Regenerate config

rm -rf ./tmp && rm -rf .config
make menuconfig
make download -j8
make V=s -j$(nproc)

// or：

Push .config to eallion/openwrt make Openwrt on GitHub Actions

rm ~/openwrt/.config
cp ~/lede/.config ~/openwrt/
cd ~/openwrt
git add .
git commit -m "chore: update config"
git push

Then you can download firmware at Releases later。
