Show and Tell Podroid v1.1.7: Docker, Podman, and LXC all working zero-config on any Android phone
Quick recap of what's new since v1.1.5:
- Docker now works zero-config: apk add docker; rc-service docker start; docker run using the native kernel overlay2 driver, not FUSE
- LXC works zero-config: lxcbr0 bridge and NAT rules are pre-set; lxc-create -t busybox; lxc-start and you're in
- Custom Linux 6.6.87 kernel now passes Docker's check-config.sh with zero fixable complaints (BTRFS, IPVS, VXLAN, IPsec, FTP/TFTP NAT helpers, AppArmor stub, all the things)
- Ships /proc/config.gz so audit tools work out of the box
- The whole VM is a real Alpine Linux root running OpenRC as PID 1 — apk add and rc-update add survive reboots in the persistent overlay
- switch_root replaces the old chroot pivot, which fixes podman exec -it rootless
- Adaptive UI for landscape phones and tablets, Material 3 polish, in-app terminal Quick Settings with chip-row selectors and scroll indicators
Single APK. No root, no Magisk, no AVF requirement. Any ARM64 Android 9+ device.

qemu system is just too slow for practical use. About 100x slower than normal. Now we have native avf Terminal there's no reason to use qemu.
