Run Docker x86_64 on Android Tablets or Phones

This is a automatic installation script. As RAM is always an issue on a cell phone, we also install zram.

$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egandro/docker-qemu-arm/master/termux-setup.sh)"
# change you alpine root passwort or run the custom installer!

$ pkg update
$ pkg install git
$ git clone https://github.com/egandro/docker-qemu-arm.git
$ cd docker-qemu-arm
$ cp config.sample config.env
$ # vi config.env # change everything you want to need to change
$ ./install.sh

$ $HOME/alpine
$ ./startqemu.sh

• you can ssh to the VM with a 2nd Terminal and ssh2qemu.sh qemukey / qemukey.ssh are the generated SSH keys
• run a uname -a and a docker run hello-world

• Thanks to everybody who made this happen.

• Alpine Linux & dns & ipv4 only vs ipv4/6 is (very often) broken.
• We pin the dns to 8.8.8.8 (can be changed) and in Alpine we turn off ipv6.

docker: error during connect: Head "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/_ping": read unix @->/var/run/docker.sock: read: connection reset by peer.
