Feature description

Hello, please advise on this issue. Container support will appear in Termux in the future? An analogous example: *.img in Lunix on DeX for Samsung Note 9.

Or multi-config functions for storing, and running multiple projects. for example Linux+Windows 10 ARM64. Thank you very much indeed for the work done.

Termux is a regular Android application, which implies fact that it does not have a capability of mounting file system images. It also is not a system emulator (virtual machine), so booting images and using them as Termux environment isn't possible.

If you have root permissions, you can manually mount images set up chroot environment inside Termux.

In a case if additionally to root permissions you have /dev/kvm support, you will be able booting virtual machines using our QEMU package.
