The Hypriot team writes about running Docker on ARM devices such as the Raspberry Pi, Pine A64 and C.H.I.P., and about their HypriotOS.
What HN saysCommenters mention running HypriotOS on a Raspberry Pi for containers, including in a K8s cluster, and point to its Docker-on-ARM guide.

Yep! I have an RPi 4, and at one point it was running Hypriot [0] on it, with some lighter containers being handled by it instead of the larger x86 nodes. I'm pretty sure I also had it running as part of a K8s cluster for a brief time.

Mine is running Hypriot OS (https://blog.hypriot.com): Everything on it is dockerized.
The coolest application: An Airconnect container (https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect) which upgrades my mediocre Internet radio device with AirPlay.

How is this different from HypriotOS?

For what it's worth, when the original Rosetta (PowerPC to Intel) was released, it wasn't faster to run emulated/translated PowerPC apps on the first generation Intel Mac, but a few Intel Mac generations later, it was. There was a reason why Apple decided to migrate off of PowerPC. :-)

Docker Engine on Intel Linux runs Arm Containers

While it describes running ARM linux binaries on an Intel machine, it should be possible to do the opposite.

This is a really neat idea...of course you can also just use docker for much more flexibility: https://blog.hypriot.com/getting-started-with-docker-on-your-arm-devic…

Thanks!
So I have been playing with it on a RPi3. There are instructions here on how to build for the RPi: https://blog.hypriot.com/post/building-a-64bit-docker-os-for-rpi3/
It has about enough CPU to handle recording about 2 streams at the same time. I think part of the problem is that Raspbian does not have the GCC flags optimized for the processor in the RPi3 and doesn't have 64bit enabled. I played a little with this image: https://blog.hypriot.com/post/building-a-64bit-docker-os-for-rpi3/ and it seemed to help a bit, but I didn't see huge gains.
People are using it with the ODroid, and I think they are able to do about 4 simultaneous recordings at the same time.

Nvidia Shield console? 3GB of RAM, a fancy video card (with support for CUDA), and gigabit ethernet. The guys at Hypriot have even demonstrated a working Docker install [0]
The custom partition layout is kind of wonky, so I'd likely just by the non-PRO version and use USB 3 and an SSD for additional storage. I'd be happier still if Nvidia supported running other distros on it -- I wouldn't even be mad if I could no longer use it for gaming or watching movies.
