I'm just tinkering with my Android tablet and was wondering
if I can get Docker running on it.
I've tried dkg install docker and also apt install docker both gave me
unable to locate package Docker
I probably need to add Docker's repo into list of repositories.
Have you ever done it ?
March 2021: Possible with root & compiled kernel
From termux-root Issue #60 it appears that it is possible to use Docker without QEMU, but requires root & a custom kernel.
Details can be found in this gist
No, not possible
From: https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/av6z2s/how_to_install_docker_on_termux/
contains a reply from a Termux dev:
This is not possible.
Docker requires features that are not available in typical kernel installed with Android OS. This is why docker is not packaged for Termux and likely never be - 99% of devices (even if rooted) won't be able to run it.
with the additional comment.
Termux does not emulate Linux. It just terminal application with own tools added to PATH.
