A Docker image that boots a full virtualised ARM Raspberry Pi running Raspbian via QEMU. It supports Pi 1 by default with experimental Pi 2/3 support and allows mounting custom SD card images.

Use cases

  • run a virtual raspberry pi inside docker
  • test raspbian without physical hardware
  • boot a custom raspberry pi image in qemu
  • emulate an arm raspberry pi environment
  • try raspberry pi os on a laptop
  • persist sdcard filesystem changes between reboots

When to choose

  • you need a disposable Raspberry Pi environment without real hardware
  • you want to test ARM/Raspbian behavior or boot custom images quickly
  • you want a one-command setup via Docker

When to avoid

  • you need performance close to a real Raspberry Pi
  • you need Pi 2/3 with clean shutdown (QEMU hangs on poweroff)
  • you need GPIO or other hardware peripherals
