Feature #732
Updated by Hammel over 4 years ago
Getting containers on PiBox isn't very straight forward. I can compile container engines and clients but cross compiling them (because many of them use Go) might not be so simple. This may limit me, initially, to existing container engines and clients such as "Docker":https://docs.docker.com/ (though I'd prefer to use "LXD/LXC":https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/introduction/). Docker has "static ARM binaries":https://download.docker.com/linux/static/stable/armhf/ that should work for RPi. I need to download them and test on the dev platform to see what happens. A first test of this would be to try an "existing container":https://hub.docker.com/u/armhf/ built for ARM, like "BusyBox":https://hub.docker.com/r/arm32v7/busybox or "Bash":https://hub.docker.com/r/arm32v7/bash or "httpd":https://hub.docker.com/r/arm32v7/httpd - something simple. If I want to get really clever I can create "my own container infrastructure":https://ericchiang.github.io/post/containers-from-scratch/.
