Run Anbox On Ubuntu18.04
Build Android image for anbox
...
After about two hours, the Android image was compiled successfully, and the results are as follows:
ls out/target/product/arm64/ android-info.txt obj previous_build_config.mk recovery symbols system.img build_fingerprint.txt cache.img data gen module-info.json ramdisk.img root system userdata.img |
Required packages installation
...
After this, the image of anbox has been completed, which can be viewed through docker related commands。Type the command below:
sudo docker images | grep robox android robox e223a91c4b58 6 days ago 860MB |
Run robox android system
After the above two scripts are executed, the robox operating environment is ready, and the entire directory structure of robox can be seen as follows
├── android ├── binaryFiles ├── cmake ├── COPYING.GPL ├── cross-compile-chroot.sh ├── data ├── docs ├── external ├── kernel ├── patch ├── products ├── scripts ├── src |
Step1: You can copy the binaryFiles in the robox code to the home directory, then run robox
...
It is troublesome to start anbox through commands to deploy in a real environment. Here, the well-known K8S system is used to complete the deployment of anbox instances. On this basis, anbox can be much more effectively deployed, run, monitored, and analyzed for multiple host nodes. Here is k8s cluster setup and container orchestration.
1 Basic Architecture
2 K8s Cluster construction
The k8s cluster construction can be completed through the warehouse code, you can do as follows
git clone https://gerrit.akraino.org/r/iec.git cd iec/deploy/compass && bash deployIEC.sh
|
Here is the current configuration:
l Ubuntu Version：18.04 l Docker: 20+ l k8s: 1.21.3
|
l Host Network: master: 192.168.10.66 work: 192.168.10.62 |
3 Check cluster running status
kubectl get cs Warning: v1 ComponentStatus is deprecated in v1.19+ NAME STATUS MESSAGE ERROR scheduler Healthy ok controller-manager Healthy ok etcd-0 Healthy {"health":"true"} kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master Ready control-plane,master 22h v1.21.3 work Ready <none> 22h v1.21.5 At the same time, we can present the status of the cluster through the k8s visual component. Here we use kuboard, which is very convenient to install and use. |
kubectl apply -f https://addons.kuboard.cn/kuboard/kuboard-v3-swr.yaml

Developer Guide and Troubleshooting
...
When the server restarts, the binder_linux module needs to be loaded and installed as follows：
sudo modprobe ashmem_linux sudo rmmod binder_linux || true; sudo modprobe binder_linux num_devices=254 sudo chmod 777 /dev/ashmem /dev/binder* |
If there is an external graphics card, you need to manually disable the built-in graphics card after each server restart. for example:
lspci | grep -in VGA 6:0007:41:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Hi1710 [iBMC Intelligent Management system chip w/VGA support] (rev 01) echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0007\:41\:00.0/remove |
