Docker installation on Rpi1 LE 8.1.1

1st Official Post

    Hi there!,

    just installed LE 8.1.1 on my Rpi 1, but can't seem to be able to install docker from the add-on list. It says "Installation Failed"... Add-on not supported on this version?

    Thanks!

    There's no reason it should fail, but RPi(1) isn't going to be a great device for Docker due to slower CPU speed and only 512MB RAM.

    You'd need to share a Kodi debug log so we can see if something is reported during add-on install.

    Thanks chewitt, finally I got back to my locally compiled 8.0 that had no problems downloading and installing Docker. It looks like I can't use official builds anyway, because they lack the bmc2835-v4l2.ko kernel driver, and I need it to create devices of type /dev/video. I use Docker to mjpg-stream a USB camera connected to a Zoneminder server while Libreelec is running. Save for some video freezing here and there when playing HD media, it can go for days without a hitch. Still amazed of what you can do with LE and Docker even in such a limited device!

    Thank you!
