dockerfiles VS docker-android

https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk... is the one I remember, a bit old but still useful to see how she does it.

Seems super painful and indirected for a nebulous gain to me, but find your joy however you want I guess

Jess does some awesome stuff and this is literally what you asked for. hollywood

Some of my day-to-day software.

After knowing that saved Chrome passwords and cookies in Linux are not protected against malicious dependencies in our development environment or other apps in our system, I decided to run my core apps in Docker containers, where their data is not accessible without sudo, and a personal understanding of where stuff is being saved.

These docker containers are also an improved version of https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/

Contrary to the project above, docker-workspaces runs Chrome in a sandbox, encrypts keys with the help of an also dockerized gnome-keychain, and works in tandem with pulseaudio, so you can use wired headphones (i still need to add some dependencies for it to work with bluetooth headphones).

Thank you. As someone who uses containers a lot (even to run local programs, shout out to https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk...) this makes some sense to me.

I'm a little way into the Nix Pills document (https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/why-you-should-give-it-a-...) which seems to start the explanation from a place where I can understand.

If it was me I'd go with a docker-android container. You could go with Anbox or a virtual android machine, but if you just need to run one app, I think a docker container would be the way to go, since you could script it to open, run your app, and shut down.

I haven't personally tested this one, however, there is this project on github: https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android which uses containers.

I know this isn't the focus of the article, but this license provision in a linked project is outright strange.

How can you call a project Apache when you're forcing people to pay via their data ? Why is their no opt out option?

Absent that this seems like a great QA automation tool. Or a Tinder bot farm...

Alternatively, there are a few docker projects such as this one https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android that might work well. Haven’t tried it.

So far i was using docker-android i did use in my ubuntu during yesterday and was working fine

https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android this perhaps?

It's got absolutely nothing to do with the trustability of Android emulators. In fact I highly doubt they used something like Bluestacks, but rather something that can be chained with scripts like an Android docker container.
