Question:
How can I get Docker to run in Replit?
Repl link:
https://replit.com/@JasonRoman/docker-test

Already tried:
https://replit.com/talk/ask/How-to-install-Docker/39255

install-pkg docker
 -> command not found

pkg-install docker docker.io
 -> command not found

docker
 -> multiple versions found:
    - docker
    - docker-client
 -> both run successfully, but the docker daemon is not started.

 The Docker website suggests this:
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
 but I don't have sudo access.

I don’t think docker works in replit, as it requires root

I think dragon is right.

As we all know. (Hopefully), is that root (sudo) in this case, cannot work on replit for administrative purposes.

For EDUCATIONAL purposes, what if you gained root access on replit and did that? Then maybe it would work.

Perhaps it would work, then.

How about Podman? It can use the Docker registry and doesn’t require root privileges.

Demo here: Replacing Docker with podman? The results are not what I expected! (Part 1/2) - YouTube

That might actually work! As long as it is on nix
