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
