Features

Everything you need to run containers.

Pull, run, and manage any image from Docker Hub or any OCI registry. Full layer caching, multi-arch support.

39 endpoints — same API as Docker Engine v1.55. Works with docker-compose, Podman clients, and existing tooling.

Single 14.5MB static binary. No containerd, no runc, no libseccomp. Copy it to any Linux, Android, or macOS machine.

From WASM sandbox to microVM. Doki probes the host and picks the strongest available mode automatically.

Runs as unprivileged user. No root, no sudo, no namespace tricks. Works on stock Android phones.

Internal DNS server with automatic container resolution. Custom upstream DNS, port 8053 on Android.

One curl command and you are up and running.
