If machine is powerful enough, I'd try running a lightweight distro
image in QEMU, natively. QEMU is available in ptxdist an I have run
system-emulations on ARM64 machines. The performance hit is not that bad
nowdays. That way you can have (easier) access to all the modern
infrastructure packages required for checking all the fancy buzzwords
boxes. :)
I don't think embedded environment projects have the manpower or the
interest to maintain functional packages of all the
infrastructure-thingies that have exploded the last few years.
But all this depends on what you're trying to achieve, as Michael
already pointed out.
My .02.

Do you mean running Docker containers on the target? Or buildung a
ptxdist based BSP in a Docker container? AFAIK there's neither one or
the other.
I don't know of any either.
The most important questions here is, what exactly do you want to achieve?
In my experience, Docker is mostly a buzzword that comes from the
management with the hope that everything will be magically better
afterwards. Without a clear understanding what problem should be solved.
So I would recommend that you look take a look at you problem and verify if
Docker or any other container manager is actually what you need.
I'm sure there are real use-cases out there where Docker is the right tool,
but I've yet to come in touch in one for PTXdist.
There is a reason why there are no Docker rules in PTXdist so far :-).
