What's new

v1.1.7-debugApr 29, 2026
  • What's New in v1.1.7
  • This release introduces zero-config Docker and LXC, completes the kernel feature matrix for clean container audits, and fixes a recent terminal regression.
  • Container Engines
  • Zero-config Docker works out of the box using the native kernel overlay driver (via raw ext4 bind-mounts) to avoid the slower FUSE fallback.
  • Zero-config LXC runs without manual bridge or NAT setup since the required network rules are now pre-configured. Podman continues to work normally with fuse-overlayfs.
  • Kernel Updates
  • Added roughly 30 built-in Kconfig options to ensure zero complaints from Docker and LXC audit scripts.
  • Enabled /proc/config.gz so diagnostic tools can read the running config without manual workarounds.
  • IPv6 forwarding sysctls are now automatically set alongside their IPv4 counterparts.
  • Fixes
  • Restored TERM=xterm-256color to fix TUI app rendering, italics, and mouse/keyboard controls broken during the OpenRC migration.
  • Installation
  • Completely uninstall any existing Podroid app versions before installing the new APK.
  • This is a debug build, and you may need to allow installation from unknown sources.
