I think OP might be referring to the fact that Android kernels disable most functionality required to run most standard Linux container tech. AFAIK it's not possible to run Docker even on rooted devices if they are running a (close to) vanilla kernel, whereas you can run Docker just fine on Linux single board computers that run similar processors.
- jacksmith21006 9y agoYou can use Docker fine on a CB that you put in developer now. Just install Crouton and use rkt. But now with ChromeOS 67 no longer need to use developer to do.
- ajross 9y agoThe host OS in this case is ChromeOS, though. But OK. I took the point to be "cgroups is weird, nonstandard and by implication dangerous" when the truth is more "cgroups is standard equipment, sorta boring, and the obvious way to implement a container like this".
- cyphar 9y agoYou can run LXC on Android, and have been able to for several years. So on Android enough of the kernel features are there (though to be honest you only really need a pid+mnt namespaces and most people wouldn't tell the difference).
