New User Question About Docker on the Wetek Core

1st Official Post

    I just installed libreelec for the first time on my Wetek Core. Overall, it works great, much better than Android on the same device.

    I understand that the chromium browser is only available on x86-64 devices, but it might be possible to run chromium and other applications via Docker.

    However, I can't find the docker addon in the repo either. Is Docker not available on the Wetek Core? Or am I just missing something? If it's not available is there any other option for getting a browser working on the Core?

    Docker is not currently supported on Amlogic devices so there is no Docker add-on in the repo. There is current activity to support Docker on the 3.14 kernel used by 64-bit Amlogic devices. It's not clear yet whether it's sensible or even feasible to backport Docker support to the prehistoric 3.10 kernel used by 32-bit Amlogic devices like the Play(1) and Core.
