Podroid

Run Linux containers and a desktop on Android without root

Runs a real Alpine Linux virtual machine on stock Android phones, giving you Podman, Docker, and LXC containers plus a full X11 desktop. Eliminates the need for rooting, custom recovery, or a separate Linux machine to test containers and run Linux tools. Includes a built-in terminal, SSH access, port forwarding, USB passthrough, and file sharing so developers can work entirely from their phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema
How to install Podroid?▼

Run `npx skills add ExTV/Podroid --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all tools in this suite globally.

Can I run Docker on Android without root?▼

Yes. Podroid boots a real Alpine Linux VM with its own kernel on stock Android 8+, so Docker, Podman, and LXC work exactly like on a server.

Does Podroid need a rooted phone?▼

No. It works on any arm64 device running Android 8 or later with no root, no custom recovery, and no special permissions for the default QEMU backend.

Can I run Linux GUI apps on my phone?▼

Yes. Podroid includes a built-in X11 desktop viewer with touch, keyboard, mouse, and audio support for running graphical Linux applications.

How do I access containers from my network?▼

Use the built-in podroid-forward command inside the VM to expose container ports to your phone and local network over TCP or UDP.
