Artix Linux Forum

Requirements:

• binder_linux or binderfs
• ashmem_linux

• Install anbox-modules-dkms-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anbox-modules-dkms-git), it should work fine for linux, linux-lts
  
  • Steps for linux-zen and tkg kernel users:
  • Remove auto loading of binder_linux because kernel has builtin binderfs, using following command
    
    Code: [Select]

    sudo sed -i '1d' /usr/lib/modules-load.d/anbox-modules.conf

  • Create file /etc/tmpfiles.d/anbox.conf with following content
    
    Code: [Select]

    d! /dev/binderfs 0755 root root

  • Add following line to /etc/fstab [*Dinit users skip this step]
    
    Code: [Select]

    none                         /dev/binderfs binder   nofail  0      0

Installation:

• Install anbox-nosystemd-git (https://github.com/Luciogi/artix_pkg/tree/main/anbox-nosystemd-git)
• Install service script package according to your init system:

        Runit: anbox-runit (https://github.com/Luciogi/artix_pkg/tree/main/anbox-runit)
        Openrc: anbox-openrc (https://github.com/Luciogi/artix_pkg/tree/main/anbox-openrc)   
        Dinit: anbox-dinit (https://github.com/Luciogi/artix_pkg/tree/main/anbox-dinit)         
        *[Incomplete][Need Testing]] Suite66: anbox-suite66 (https://git.sr.ht/~strahinja/anbox-suite66) (Give Feedback (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3051.msg24786.html#msg24786))
   
   

• For Openrc start anbox-container-manager (During my testing, I did not need to start anbox-session-manager , if someone confirmed, i will update PKGBUILD)
      For Runit start anbox-container-manager
• Run anbox from application menu.

Wow, thanks!

The anbox-container initscript also needs openrc-fuse, this should be added to the depends array.

And in case someone makes an Arch package out of it: If the abovementioned PKGBUILD is used, the package is called anbox-git (provides a full anbox), and it should be added anbox-openrc to the provides array.

Thanks again for that thing!

Can you elaborate more this line?
Edit: I guess you saying that create separate package for services file

No, I mean:

• Although the directory from the online source in the initial post might suggest that the package is named anbox-openrc, it in fact is named anbox-git,
• anbox-openrc would mean, if naming scheme would be consistent with the other *-openrc packages, that it would provide exactly and only the openrc initscripts,
• since the linked PKGBUILD does build a full anbox latest git checkout and also provides openrc initscripts, it should be named something like anbox-git and has anboox-openrc in it's provides array.

I am currently making an AUR package, and I will call it anbox-nosystemd-for-openrc-git with corresponding provides entries. If it works I will try to split it up into a anbox-nosystemd-git and a anbox-openrc.

Does this answer your question(s), provide clarification for you?

I m so confused with package naming for anbox

 I guess splitting package will work fine.

Do  you know why anbox-session.pid and  anbox-container.pid not found?
I checked paths , these file exist

Update:
Anbox is working on Artix Linux (runit)

Update:
Anbox-openrc link added again

Update:
Version matched with AUR pkg (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anbox-git)

Hello.
anbox-dinit is available at:
https://git.mobintestserver.ir/mobin2008/anbox-dinit

I have made the unofficial anbox service for 66. It is currently at:
https://git.sr.ht/~strahinja/anbox-suite66

Disclaimer: In my experience, Anbox itself is rather unstable. It could be due to the Android image I tested with, anbox-image-gapps or the fact that I don't use elogind but seatd. Anbox Application Manager starts, but applications just crash randomly.

In any case, this service (https://git.sr.ht/~strahinja/anbox-suite66/tree/master/item/anbox) is pretty straightforward, as with other inits, so if Anbox is working for you, it will add support for starting container-manager as a 66 service.

I used this image at the time which give much better experience than other images

Hi! I liked your work for anbox-dinit.

Update: ashmem is removed from kernel version 5.18.
solution is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anbox-modules-dkms https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/anbox-modules-dkms-git

Anbox is retired

Darn

Shucks, I remember wanting to try Anbox some years back; the dependency on systemb was a show-stopper. Now I find this but too late.  :o
