- NewJazz 7mo agoItbsays it doesnt use kvm, so i thinj that meens no accel.
- em500 7mo agoYes, under How It Works: > libqemu-system-aarch64.so (QEMU TCG, no KVM) TCG means software emulation
- kristianp 7mo agoI thought why is qemu used here? Why not use linux native namespaces and cgroups.
- NewJazz 7mo agoPermissions. Isolation.
- Retr0id 7mo agoso, like namespaces and cgroups?
- figmert 7mo agoAndroid kernel has the relevant kernel parameters disabled. It is entirely possible to run containers directly on android, but it requires enabled the relevant parameter (iirc no recompilation need, just a cmdline change). But this of course requires root.
