If anyone is going to do it I highly recommend just going with esphome now for the firmware, it’s way simpler and better maintained. You can even update the firmware over the network.

And if you want to turn your ESP8266 into a standalone appliance, with a web interface and directly editable config that doesn't need a build step, Tasmota is another great option.

If you install Home Assistant (HAOS or Supervised) on something then ESPHome is a one click install with a web GUI. There's an OVA for HAOS as well as all the usual suspects - amd_64, RPi and more.

If you don't want all that stuff then do it from the command prompt, most Linux distros have it in the package manager and no doubt Mac n that have easy to install options.
