There are no cockpit opkgs available that are known to me, so on that platform
you'd probably need to build yourself. I assume that there's some development
environment that cross-compiles to OpenWRT, as one surely doesn't want to build
software *on* the router itself :)

That's correct. It needs to have cockpit-ws, as it's more than "just" a HTTP
server. The main work happens through a websocket.

Yes, the Raspbian/Debian/Ubuntu armhf/arm64 packages should work just fine on a
Pi. We don't test the page functionality on a Pi, though -- i. e. usually one
doesn't run NetworkManager or storaged on a Pi (unless it's actually configured
as a desktop), and there's no VMs either, so some pages probably won't be that
useful. But Overview, Logs, Services, Terminal, performance graphs etc. should
all be fine.
