Good morning,
I'm trying to run BMX6 on a OpenWRT image over a docker container. The installation works fine but when I try to run any BMX6 command it stpps because of something missing related with IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES in the kernel.
Is there a way to solve this? Maybe recompiling the image with a different kernel configuration?
Docker version: 18.06.1-ce, build e68fc7a
OpenWRT image: openwrt-x86-generic-rootfs latest
To be clear:
Correct?
This isn't helpful. Can you provide the version number (i.e. OpenWrt 18.06.1 r7258-5eb055306f).
Yes. that's correct.
About the version number its Attitude Adjustment 12.09, r36088
Should I try with a newer one maybe?
Whoa...yes, the old version might be your issue. I wouldn't advise running such outdated software, anyways.
Try using 18.06.1.
Thank you very much. I'll try so 
So, I've updated from 12.09 to 18.06.1 from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/x86/generic/
and funnily enough I have the same, but updated, problem
ERROR is_policy_rt_supported: Disabled policy-routing for IPv6! (Kernel requires CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES,...)
The only thing I last to try is another host, which may resolve the problem
Something's wrong, then:
root@OpenWrt:~# ip -6 route add :: dev test_wireguard table 2
root@OpenWrt:~# ip -6 route show table 2
:: dev test_wireguard metric 1024 pref medium
Multiple tables ability is complied and exists in OpenWrt.
(Moving to the For Developers section.)
Vhen I try the "ip -6 route add" command it tells me:
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
Please paste the full command and error.
Example:
root@OpenWrt:~# ip -6 route add :: dev eth0.2 table 2
root@OpenWrt:~# ip -6 route show table 2
:: dev eth0.2 metric 1024 pref medium
That's the command and error inside the operwrt docker container.
/ # ip -6 route add :: dev eth0.2 table 2
ip: can't find device 'eth0.2'
/ # ip -6 route show table 2
/ #
I guess your problem is related to Docker or rather the host system kernel and not OpenWrt. IIRC with Docker you only use OpenWrt's rootfs, but not OpenWrt's kernel.
Just to be sure, when I run the "opkg install bmx etc" command, at the end I get a "Fail to connect to ubus".
Does this tell you anything?

**Failed to connect to ubus**
I would really try with a proper VM using the OpenWrt kernel and the OpenWrt init system. This Docker business is more or less a glorified chroot which will basically inherit the limitations of your host system.
The ubus service is supposed to be started by procd during the system init phase, but I guess your docker container bypasses OpenWrt init.
Just for if someone comes across with this post, I finally runned the docker container with the --privileged tag and then inside the OpenWRT container I changed the /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding from a 0 to 1.
