Data partition size

The size of the data partition can be set by passing the following environment variable:

• DATAPARTITION="<size>"

Custom Emulator Arguments

If you want to add more arguments for running emulator, you can pass an environment variable EMULATOR_ARGS while running docker command.

docker run --privileged -d -p 6080:6080 -p 4723:4723 -p 5554:5554 -p 5555:5555 -e DEVICE="Samsung Galaxy S6" -e EMULATOR_ARGS="-no-snapshot-load -partition-size 512" --name android-container budtmo/docker-android-x86-8.1

SaltStack

You can enable SaltStack to control running containers by passing environment variable SALT_MASTER=<ip_address_of_salt_master>.

Back & Restore

If you want to backup/reuse the avds created with furture upgrades or for replication, run the container with two extra mounts

• -v local_backup/.android:/root/.android
• -v local_backup/android_emulator:/root/android_emulator

docker run --privileged -d -p 6080:6080 -p 4723:4723 -p 5554:5554 -p 5555:5555 -v local_backup/.android:/root/.android -v local_backup/android_emulator:/root/android_emulator -e DEVICE="Nexus 5" --name android-container budtmo/docker-android-x86-8.1

For the first run, this will create a new avd and all the changes will be accessible in the local_backup directory. Now for all future runs, it will reuse the avds. Even this should work with new releases of docker-android
