Run inside container?

Hi, newb here,

I have an application I’d like to demo that I think mozilla/iot would be great for, but I would need to run the mozilla/iot app within a container (docker) on the raspberry pi. Is this feasible?
Is there any information on running from within a container?
Will a pi 3b+ with 1GB be enough?

Thanks,
Neal

Yes I’ve doing this on earlier versions for ARMv7…

I used USB storage for container contents more hints at:

Maybe we could have a post install script, to make the layer smaller ?

Thanks for the hints!

Any hints on setting up the pi host with docker? Any suggested host distribution?
Thanks again,
Neal
