AI2TH/Android Infrastructure

Linux on Android,
no root required.

Three apps that embed QEMU + Alpine Linux directly in the APK. Run Docker, Asterisk PBX, or a bare shell on any arm64 Android device.

alpine@android:~ 
$ uname -a
Linux alpine 6.1.0 #1 SMP PREEMPT arm64 GNU/Linux

$ docker run hello-world

Projects

Three apps. Same architecture. Different superpowers.

Linxr

Linxr

Alpine Linux Shell

A full Alpine Linux environment running inside QEMU on Android. Get a real bash shell, SSH access, persistent storage — on any arm64 phone with zero root.

  • OpenSSH server — connect from any SSH client
  • Built-in terminal with auto-reconnect
  • Persistent QCOW2 overlay across reboots
  • Full outbound internet via SLIRP networking

Pockr

Pockr

Docker on Android

Run Docker containers on a non-rooted Android device. Pull images, start containers, tail logs — all from a native Flutter UI backed by a Docker daemon in an Alpine VM.

  • Pull & run any Docker image
  • Real-time container logs
  • Terminal into the Alpine VM host
  • Configurable vCPU + RAM (1–4 cores, 512 MB–4 GB)

Zyvr

Zyvr

Asterisk PBX on Android

Zero-carrier Your Voice Router. A full Asterisk 20 PBX running on your phone. Manage SIP extensions, monitor live calls, and route calls — carrier-independent.

  • Asterisk 20 with PJSIP driver
  • SIP extension management (create, delete, list)
  • Live call monitor + hangup
  • WebRTC/SIP.js support via WSS on 8089

How it works

Every app uses the same layered stack — QEMU gives the Linux VM, Alpine gives the environment, the app gives the UI.

Flutter UI (Dart)
Native Android UI — tabs, logs, terminal, settings
↓
Kotlin VmManager
Launches libqemu.so via JNI, manages ForegroundService lifecycle
↓
QEMU (libqemu.so)
Compiled as .so shipped inside the APK. Runs as a normal app process — no root.
↓
Alpine Linux VM
Boots from a bundled QCOW2 asset. SLIRP networking, persistent overlay, OpenRC init.
↓
Your workload
Docker daemon · Asterisk PBX · bash shell — whatever runs on Linux
