docker-qemu-arm

Run Docker x86_64 on Arm computers or Android

Original idea: https://gist.github.com/oofnikj/e79aef095cd08756f7f26ed244355d62

This is a automatic installation script. As memory is always short, we also install zram.

Android Phone/Tablet with Termux

$ curl -o termux-setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egandro/docker-qemu-arm/master/termux-setup.sh && chmod 755 ./termux-setup.sh && ./termux-setup.sh

Raspberry Pi OS

$ curl -o pi-setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egandro/docker-qemu-arm/master/pi-setup.sh && chmod 755 ./pi-setup.sh && ./pi-setup.sh

Fedora ARM

$ curl -o fedora-arm-setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egandro/docker-qemu-arm/master/fedora-arm-setup.sh && chmod 755 ./fedora-arm-setup.sh && ./fedora-arm-setup.sh

Postinstall & fun

• start the VM with "startqemu.sh"
• root passwort is "Secret123" but root in ssh is locked by password
• please change the password anyway
• you can ssh to the VM with a 2nd Terminal and "ssh2qemu.sh" qemukey / qemukey.ssh are SSH keys
• run a "uname -a" and a "docker run hello-world"

Known issues

• kubernetes (which is a very stupid idea): cgroups in Alpine must be configured properly
• just in case you really want that here is how: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Docker

Thanks

• Thanks to everybody who made this happen.
