I updated it, and thank you for letting me know.

Anytime! This gist and your video on YouTube helped me on setting up OpenWRT container on my Proxmox server.
Small problem though, I can't manage to get DHCP work under unprivileged container. It has to do with ports under 1024 are essentially reserved only for privileged users.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the script:
I've just updated it a little bit for easier noobie installing:
