ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3 VS docker-android

distrobox to manage the container: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox Then just install XFCE and tiger VNC server inside it. Using VNC makes it easy to connect into a little isolated session that has its own theming, etc. vs. trying to send geany to my native X11/wayland server.

You could also just run it in a browser window with a VNC HTML bridge, this would be a good base for that: https://github.com/accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3

The easiest way to get Chicago95 setup is to run its GUI installer python script. I don't try to script it in a dockerfile or container setup.

I use some projects that use vnc and also have setup novnc on them..

Here’s an example of one, https://github.com/accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3

Novnc just allows accessing things via a browser too. I use it for quick checks but VNC when I want a client

I've found this to be a very good solution. It is a headless VNC connection that boots with docker. It was inspired from this project where someone created the same thing. However, in the first link, they went back and made the box more stable and overall it performs better in my experience.

GitHub / Docker Hub

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.

Anonymisation with respect of the IP address means that only the first two octets of the IP address are collected.

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.
