These Docker images allow you to very easily build a Qt app accross all platforms. You may use build system (e.g. Gitlab CI) to fully leverage these images.

OpenSSL for Android is compiled and installed directly in ${ANDROID_DEV}
, and is platform-specific (API 21 in most cases). You can compile against it transparently, but you need to ship the libraries for run time. Look at ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS
.
Linux images are built inside a 16.04 LTS Ubuntu and not 18.04 LTS, to allow the AppImage to be run on older systems. Otherwise, links to too recent versions of GLIBC are made. A recent OpenSSL version is available for you in $OPENSSL_PREFIX
.
