Running Debian on the OpenWrt One (Collabora Blog)

Sjoerd Simons has published
a blog post about running Debian on the OpenWrt One
router hardware:

With openwrt-one-debian, you can now install and run a full Debian
system leveraging the OpenWrt One’s NVMe storage, enabling everything
from custom services and containers to development tools and
lightweight server workloads, all on open hardware.

This project provides a rust-based flasher to install Debian on the
OpenWrt One, opening the door to standard Debian tooling, packages,
and workflows. For developers and power users, it transforms the
OpenWrt One from a network appliance into a compact, general-purpose
Linux system.

See the GitHub
repository for the code and latest build. LWN reviewed the device in
November 2024, and covered Denver
Gingerich’s talk at SCALE 22x about
the making of the router in March 2025.
