    redroid (Remote-Android) is a multi-arch, GPU enabled, Android in Cloud solution. Track issues / docs here

    That Dockerfile is just an image to _build_ the Android container

    See instructions to build it (or pull the published version)

    https://github.com/remote-android/redroid-doc/tree/master/an...

    Then you can run the Android container

  • waydroid

    Waydroid uses a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system like Ubuntu.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

    Anbox doesn't use QEMU. It uses the same underlying kernel tech as Docker, LXC and other isolation tech. This is why you need the ashmem and "binder"(?) kernel modules to run Anbox.

    I'm currently "trying" to get Anbox working on NixOS (It's currently broken on 5.x kernels but should be fixed by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/102341) so that's why I know that Anbox is the "same" as this.

  • anbox

    Discontinued Anbox is a container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system

  • Shelter

    A Free and Open-Source (FOSS) app that leverages the "Work Profile" feature of Android to provide an isolated space that you can install or clone apps into.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
