Dock-Droid is a Docker-based environment that lets you run an Android x86 system inside a container, powered by QEMU under the hood. It is conceptually similar to Docker-OSX, but targets Android instead of macOS, enabling researchers, testers, and enthusiasts to spin up Android desktops or test rigs on Linux hosts. The project typically ships with an Android x86 or BlissOS image and provides a “live OS” mode as well as an option to install the system to a virtual disk within the container. Once running, you can connect to the guest using VNC or X11 forwarding, so you get a full graphical interface for interacting with Android apps. Network connectivity is exposed through a virtual Wi-Fi network (for example, an SSID like VirtWifi), simulating a typical Android Wi-Fi environment while still being fully containerized. This setup is useful for CI/CD scenarios, application testing, automation, or general research into Android internals in a reproducible environment.
Features
- Runs Android x86 (e.g., BlissOS) inside a Docker container using QEMU virtualization
- Supports booting a live environment or installing Android to a virtual disk image
- Provides VNC or X11 access for a full graphical Android desktop experience
- Exposes a virtual Wi-Fi network (such as VirtWifi) to simulate device networking
- Suitable for CI/CD, app testing, and security or OS research on Android in a reproducible setup
- Distributed via Docker Hub and GitHub for easy pulling, customization, and scripting
