alpine-chroot-install: Alpine armhf on x86_64 Ubuntu via qemu returns 127

I am not sure if it is supported, but README suggests that the script uses qemu so I tried and ended up getting 4 errors:

Don't bind PWD into chroot by default unless it's under /home Fixes #8 — committed to alpinelinux/alpine-chroot-install by jirutka 6 years ago

Other question: Why are you running that script in a docker container in the first place?

Ok, I have figured it out now. The issue is that if we don’t provide BIND_DIR, it binds the root / of host in chroot and overwrite the /etc directory that has apk.

Passing mkdir /dummy and passing -i /dummy fixed the issue.

Here is the full docker and how to run it:

docker run -it --privileged ubuntu:bionic  # bionic will be next LTS in few days (on 4/29)

in docker:

apt update
apt install -y apt-utils wget < /dev/null
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alpinelinux/alpine-chroot-install/v0.7.0/alpine-chroot-install     && echo '090d323d887ef3a2fd4e752428553f22a52b87bb  alpine-chroot-install' | sha1sum -c
chmod 777 alpine-chroot-install

# hack
mkdir /dummy

./alpine-chroot-install -a armhf -b v3.7 -m http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine -i /dummy

/alpine/enter-chroot uname -a

Should it be fixed by making BIND_DIR mounting optional (instead of flashing it with root /)?
