AinD: Android in Docker

AinD: Android (Anbox) in Docker

AinD launches Android apps in Docker, by nesting Anbox containers inside Docker.

Unlike VM-based similar projects, AinD can be executed on IaaS instances without support for nested virtualization.

Docker Hub: aind/aind

Purposes

• Anti-theft
• Android compatibility (via cloud) for iOS and Windows tablets

Non-goals

Quick start

Tested on Ubuntu 19.10 (Kernel 5.3). May not work on other distros. If modprobe ashmem_linux or modprobe binder_linux fails, see https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules .

sudo modprobe ashmem_linux sudo modprobe binder_linux

docker run -td --name aind --privileged -p 5900:5900 -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules:ro aind/aind

Connect to 5900 via vncviewer.

Future version will support noVNC.

Installing apk packages

Use adb (TBD).

TODOs

• Map different UID range per containers
• Support noVNC (VNC over Web browsers) w/ TLS
• Better touch screen experience
• Redirect camera, notifications, ...
