Steps to run ARM containers on x86

Steps.md

• Install qemu-arm-static
• Pull arm32v7/debian:jessie
• docker run -v /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static:/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static --rm -it arm32v7/debian:jessie --name rpi-test
• apt-get update
• apt-get upgrade
• apt-get install nano
• apt-get install binutils apt-utils
• apt-get install build-essential build-essential in turn installs the following- binutils bzip2 cpp cpp-4.9 dpkg-dev fakeroot g++ g++-4.9 gcc gcc-4.9 ifupdown isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common libalgorithm-c3-perl libalgorithm-diff-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libarchive-extract-perl libasan1 libatomic1 libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libcgi-fast-perl libcgi-pm-perl libclass-c3-perl libclass-c3-xs-perl libcloog-isl4 libcpan-meta-perl libdata-optlist-perl libdata-section-perl libdns-export100 libdpkg-perl libfakeroot libfcgi-perl libfile-fcntllock-perl libgcc-4.9-dev libgdbm3 libgomp1 libirs-export91 libisc-export95 libisccfg-export90 libisl10 liblog-message-perl liblog-message-simple-perl libmodule-build-perl libmodule-pluggable-perl libmodule-signature-perl libmpc3 libmpfr4 libmro-compat-perl libpackage-constants-perl libparams-util-perl libpod-latex-perl libpod-readme-perl libregexp-common-perl libsoftware-license-perl libstdc++-4.9-dev libsub-exporter-perl libsub-install-perl libterm-ui-perl libtext-soundex-perl libtext-template-perl libtimedate-perl libubsan0 linux-libc-dev make manpages manpages-dev netbase patch perl perl-modules rename xz-utils Suggested packages: binutils-doc bzip2-doc cpp-doc gcc-4.9-locales debian-keyring gcc-4.9-doc libstdc++6-4.9-dbg gcc-multilib autoconf automake libtool flex bison gdb gcc-doc libgcc1-dbg libgomp1-dbg libitm1-dbg libatomic1-dbg libasan1-dbg liblsan0-dbg libtsan0-dbg libubsan0-dbg libcilkrts5-dbg libquadmath-dbg ppp rdnssd net-tools resolvconf avahi-autoipd glibc-doc libstdc++-4.9-doc make-doc man-browser ed diffutils-doc perl-doc libterm-readline-gnu-perl libterm-readline-perl-perl libb-lint-perl libcpanplus-dist-build-perl libcpanplus-perl libfile-checktree-perl libobject-accessor-perl Recommended packages: libarchive-tar-perl The following NEW packages will be installed: binutils build-essential bzip2 cpp cpp-4.9 dpkg-dev fakeroot g++ g++-4.9 gcc gcc-4.9 ifupdown isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common libalgorithm-c3-perl libalgorithm-diff-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libarchive-extract-perl libasan1 libatomic1 libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libcgi-fast-perl libcgi-pm-perl libclass-c3-perl libclass-c3-xs-perl libcloog-isl4 libcpan-meta-perl libdata-optlist-perl libdata-section-perl libdns-export100 libdpkg-perl libfakeroot libfcgi-perl libfile-fcntllock-perl libgcc-4.9-dev libgdbm3 libgomp1 libirs-export91 libisc-export95 libisccfg-export90 libisl10 liblog-message-perl liblog-message-simple-perl libmodule-build-perl libmodule-pluggable-perl libmodule-signature-perl libmpc3 libmpfr4 libmro-compat-perl libpackage-constants-perl libparams-util-perl libpod-latex-perl libpod-readme-perl libregexp-common-perl libsoftware-license-perl libstdc++-4.9-dev libsub-exporter-perl libsub-install-perl libterm-ui-perl libtext-soundex-perl libtext-template-perl libtimedate-perl libubsan0 linux-libc-dev make manpages manpages-dev netbase patch perl perl-modules rename xz-utils I don't think we need most of what gets installed and ends up bloating the container
