Installing and using docker on 32 bit machine

I know that the official support is only for 64-bit but I can see from a few people have tried to custom build the docker binaries for 32-bit and succeeded (32-bit version of docker maybe a little unstable but it is fine for my use-case).

However, most of those blogs are old and do not work. Is there anyone who has done this recently?

I'm trying to build docker on 2 machines (i686) running with debian - wheezy and stretch (with kernel > 3.10; the minimum required). Has at-least 2GB of RAM and sufficient disk space.

There's 32bit docker on 32bit ARM machines, i think i've seen it done on RPis and ODROIDs at least.

On 32bit x86... i doubt you'll find much. It's not that it's impossible (if there's 32bit ARM docker, there can be 32bit x86 docker), but nobody cares enough. You can run 32bit docker images (in fact i've done it recently) on a 64bit system, but docker itself...
