Docker on Android Part 4: Installing and Running docker

We are all set to install and run docker for the first time!

Setup and Installation

Run the following commands in Termux to install docker and get the phone ready.

pkg in root-repo
pkg in tsu docker
mount -t tmpfs cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup

Running

Now, run the docker Daemon dockerd:

sudo dockerd --iptables=false 

You should receive something like this:

dockerd

Now for the moment of truth! In another terminal window, run docker itself

sudo docker run --rm hello-world

If all goes well, you should see something like this

docker

Congratulations, you have successfully built and run docker by modifying your phone kernel!

What Next?

If you want to do more with docker, this gist shows what else you can do with your powerful phone, now that docker is running fine.
