Requirements
- Docker is installed on your system.
Quick Start
If you use Ubuntu OS on your host machine, you can skip this step. For OSX and Windows OS user, you need to use Virtual Machine that support Virtualization with Ubuntu OS because the image can be run under Ubuntu OS only.
Your machine should support virtualization. To check if the virtualization is enabled is:
sudo apt install cpu-checker kvm-okRun Docker-Android container
docker run -d -p 6080:6080 -e EMULATOR_DEVICE="Samsung Galaxy S10" -e WEB_VNC=true --device /dev/kvm --name android-container budtmo/docker-android:emulator_11.0Open http://localhost:6080 to see inside running container.
To check the status of the emulator
docker exec -it android-container cat device_status
Persisting data
The default behaviour is to destroy the emulated device on container restart. To persist data, you need to mount a volume at /home/androidusr:
docker run -v data:/home/androidusr budtmo/docker-android:emulator_11.0
WSL2 Hardware acceleration (Windows 11 only)
