Run Linux containers on your Android phone — no root required. Podroid launches a lightweight Alpine Linux VM via QEMU and gives you a fully working Podman container runtime with a built-in terminal emulator.

Features
Podman — pull and run OCI containers (podman run --rm alpine echo hello)
Alpine Linux 3.23 — minimal aarch64 VM with full networking
Termux terminal — proper VT100/xterm emulation with extra keys (Ctrl, arrows, ESC, TAB)
Persistent storage — 2GB ext4 disk, all VM data survives app
