Currently, the docker-run script starts a container based on the
reference image, in which the user has UID:GID set to 1000:1000,
which may or may not be the same as local user uses, which may
prevent the commands in the container from creating files, which
foils the plan of using the container to run a build...
Additionally, the paths in the container differ from the paths
the user expects, as the current Buildroot tree is mounted over
the in-container user home directory. This is a bit confusing...
Finally, the container is left hanging around after the command
finishes, and thus there are as many lingering containers as the
user runs docker-run. This is not very nice...
We fix all of that (yeah, should be different patches, but meh):
- we use --mount instead of -v, which allows us to bind-mount
the Buildroot tree at the same place in the container, as
Docker will create the destination if it does not exist, while
-v seems to expect it to exist [0].
- as a consequence, we can also set the working directory as the
Buildroot top-directory;
- use --user to force the same UID:GID in the container as the
local user, so that files created in the container belong to
the local user, and so that files from the local user are
accessible from the container;
- use --rm to remove the container once it terminates; starting
a new container is very quick anyway, so it is as good as
re-using a previous container.
[0] the documentation is not clear about that. It clearly states
that the host directory (i.e. the origin, the source) is created
if missing, but it says nothing of the destination:

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
