Using android in docker to router notifications

android_docker.md

summary

The purpose of this document is to capture the configuration and setup to run Android on docker on a synology NAS. The purpose of running android is to capture and route notifications via MQTT.

• this is still not done

precursor

• I assume you've set up internet access to a VLAN presented to your docker network.
• VLAN 10, which carries subnet 192.168.10.0/24, is our target VLAN.

# Create the necessary file structure for /dev/net/tun
if ( [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ] ); then
  if ( [ ! -d /dev/net ] ); then
    mkdir -m 755 /dev/net
  fi
  mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
  chmod 0755 /dev/net/tun
fi

# Load the tun module if not already loaded
if ( !(lsmod | grep -q "^tun\s") ); then
  insmod /lib/modules/tun.ko
fi

docker compose

1. create the docker compose file

#vim /volume1/docker/docker-compose-yml/android.yml

version: '3.8'
services:
  android:
    image: budtmo/docker-android:emulator_14.0
    container_name: android_emulator
    ports:
      - "5037:5037" # ADB server
      - "5554:5554" # Emulator console
      - "5555:5555" # ADB device
      - "6080:6080" # VNC
    environment:
      - EMULATOR_DEVICE="Samsung Galaxy S10" # Adjust device if necessary
      - WEB_VNC=true
      - APPIUM=false # Disable Appium if not needed
      - AUTO_RECORD=false
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/android/androidusr:/home/androidusr
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      vlan10:
        ipv4_address: 192.168.10.90
    dns:
      - 192.168.1.1

networks:
    vlan10:
        external: true

11.2. download the image and run the image

#as root
mkdir -p /volume1/docker/android/androidusr
#note the user of the same UID and GID that was identified earlier
chown 1026:100 -R /volume1/docker/android/androidusr
export DOCKER_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=120
export COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=120
COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=480
docker compose -f /volume1/docker/docker-compose-yml/android.yml up -d

11.3. verify that the container is running

#once it's running, review logs
docker logs -f sabnzbd
#to tshoot bash is available
docker exec -it sabnzbd /bin/bash

### verify that you are accessing the internet via the PIA tunnel
curl ipinfo.io
#or use this https://github.com/transilluminate/check-pia-vpn/blob/main/check-pia-vpn.sh
echo -n "are you NOT using PIA (are you exposed)? "; curl --silent -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ipAddress": '`curl --silent https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/site-api/get-location-info | jq .ip`'}' https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/site-api/exposed-check | jq .status

11.4. configure sabnzbd

1. access http://192.168.20.70:8080 and set language
