Run Android emulators anywhere with one minimal Docker image
Best product for this task
Minimal Alpine-based Docker image that runs a customizable Android emulator as a network service with KVM acceleration, ADB port forwarding, and headless CI-friendly operation. Supports multiple API levels, GPU-accelerated variants, and optional persistent AVD storage for repeatable Android testing workflows.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Run Android emulators in headless mode without any GUI components or display dependencies using Alpine-based containers that work in CI environments
- Set up automated testing pipelines with KVM acceleration support that provides fast emulator performance without requiring physical devices or desktop interfaces
- Configure ADB port forwarding to connect testing frameworks directly to containerized emulators running as network services in your build infrastructure
- Deploy consistent testing environments across different CI platforms by using the same Docker image with customizable Android API levels and AVD configurations
- Enable parallel test execution by spinning up multiple emulator containers simultaneously without graphics overhead or system resource conflicts
