for "Freifunk Leipzig" we are using Meshkit since years. yes, its done
via a VM. We are forced to compile the whole LEDE (or openwrt) by
ourself every month in order to have ALL packages properly. (f.i. to use
"luci2" or "rpcd-mod-alfred" or sound-drivers..)
i can recommend using our leipzig one, its almost up-to-date and with LEDE:
http://gadow.freifunk.net:8086/meshkit/
for ar71xx please use target: ar71xx-lede-20161220
for x86/virt testing: x86-lede-20161121
-community: Freifunk-Leipzig (still in usage and tested), best with
"expert mode"
for package selection the meshkit is very, very nice. you can add
package-names (f.i. tcpdump-mini) to package-list in expert mode to have
that package inside the new kompilieded image. so there is no need to
post-install packages, and the device is pre-configured when flashing
(or resetting!) a device :-)
video tutorial howto use meshkit (in 60 seconds)

video example (with Nanostation M5):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tdJcV0NkAw
please test it with devices with more than 4 MB flash to have complete
webinterface!
otherwise there is a need for changing package list manually (the image
would be too big) .. (delete all lua + "luci-". stuff, and add "luci2")
some limitations:
* its mostly used for mesh-devices with OLSR, batman-adv was added
months ago but you can also try it without mesh-routing (please change
files in /etc/config afterwards). but there are not presets for that
* the (auto-) update functions of meshkit are not programmed to the end yet
* other freifunk-towns forked this to make package-presets possible. but
its not gitted upstream yet. (weimarnetz, freifunk berlin, freifunk halle)
some issues:
* "opkg package repository directory management" seems to be changes
every month with LEDE :-( so you may change it manually when
post-installation of packages is needed.
* (adv.) LAN-Settings in meshkit are not set for x86-devices, its still
192.168.1.1 with dhcp by default
* normal lede problem: horst doesnt compile anymore since some weeks:
https://github.com/br101/horst/issues/64
* problems with newer OLSR jsonplugin:
https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/907 (please help me)
* luci-mod-freifunk: hostname missing:
https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/571
* LEDE new wifi named: "default_radio0 / LEDE"
https://plan.leipzig.freifunk.net/issues/360
* multicast ping6 doesnt work outgoing anymore (security feature?)
https://plan.leipzig.freifunk.net/issues/273
* maybe a "normal" problem: channel 1 has less wifi-power than channel 2
(at least with tplink)
cheers, ufo
p.s.
there are several meshkit instances online, please see official sources
(instead of forks) here

beware, the official freifunk meshkit is outdated! (at least the
target/kompilats)

Hi,
Freifunk (or another german site about wifi) also has a webinterface for
the Image Builder. I would really like to have that too.
Count me in, I also support this idea. I can lend a hand with
implementing stuff.

Nice, thanks for the offer. I was planning to try setting it up in a VM
locally after I finished the automated package list indexing script for
the wiki (within a month or so).
I had a look at the docs and it should only need some configuration to
work for LEDE/OWRT, but since I have yet to try it I don't know if there
are limitations or issues yet.
If you want to have a look...
This is the site:
