gistfile1.txt
# Install quemu, docker, etc
yaourt -S qemu qemu-user-static binfmt-support
# The quemu-user-static AUR package is outdated and broken. The .deb package they pull is no longer in the ubuntu repository.
# Edit the PKGBUILD and use qemu-user-static_2.4+dfsg-3_amd64.deb (With SHA1 sum "84d83a16c60c82b6c579f2f750b04a3ac26c249b")
# Enable ARM emulation
update-binfmts --enable qemu-arm
# Pull an ARM image to play with. Raspbian in the example:
docker pull philipz/rpi-raspbian
# Run the image mounting qemu-arm-static
docker run -it --rm -v /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static:/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static philipz/rpi-raspbian bash
root@container_hash:/# uname -a
Blah blah blah Armv7
