Installing docker on BPi-R4

For Developers
1

I am trying to install docker on the OpenWRT version below:

Hostname 3228OpenWRT

Model Bananapi BPI-R4

Architecture ARMv8 Processor rev 0

Target Platform mediatek/mt7988

Firmware Version OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT unknown / LuCi openwrt-21.02 branch git-23.093.57360-e98243e

Kernel Version 5.4.246

When I do (through LuCi) I see that the following packages are not available:

Required dependency package kmod-fs-btrfs is not available in any repository.

Required dependency package iptables-mod-extra is not available in any repository.

Required dependency package kmod-br-netfilter is not available in any repository.

Required dependency package kmod-ikconfig is not available in any repository.

Required dependency package kmod-nf-ipvs is not available in any repository.

Required dependency package kmod-veth is not available in any repository.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue, I am not able to update the version due to the file system as the hardware set is new due to the board BPI-R4.

Am I able to install these some way??

That's not an official build, ask the people who made it ...
Support is being worked on - https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/14140

It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

  1. Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
  2. Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
  3. Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.
