Same issue here when restaring a container with persistant data

[chodorenko]

its problem from there https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android/blob/7064a9bc2cdfeb99bfa7ea6a1ab3cb888369df42/cli/src/device/emulator.py#L140 In first start installs rights for /dev/kvm and remove root user from system. after reboot container for /dev/kvm present old rights and no can use sudo by not exist root user.

@budtmo Can you explain why this was done? And perhaps it is worth removing the deletion of the root user in the container?

[tompipe]

Yup, I had the same/similar issues. I solved it with the following changes to my compose file.

It remaps the container user/group ids to those on the docker host, and comments out the change_permission line in the device/emulator.py file.

• As it's using the dockerfile_inline element, it requires: Docker Compose 2.17.0 and later
• I use an .env file alongside the compose file, with PUID and PGID vars set for the IDs of the relevant user/group on the docker host (as per linuxserver.io), and these get interpolated into the inline dockerfile on build.

services:
  android:
    build:
      dockerfile_inline: |
        FROM budtmo/docker-android:${BUILDTAG-emulator_11.0}
        ARG USERNAME=androidusr

        USER root

        # change the group and user id's to the relevant host id's
        RUN groupmod --gid ${PGID} $${USERNAME} && \
            usermod --gid ${PGID} --uid ${PUID} $${USERNAME}

        WORKDIR /home/$${USERNAME}

        # fix permissions
        RUN chown -R $${USERNAME}:$${USERNAME} /home/$${USERNAME} && \
            chown -R $${USERNAME}:$${USERNAME} /usr/lib/node_modules/appium && \
            sed -i "s/^\(\s*\)\(self\.change_permission()\)/ \1# \2/" ./docker-android/cli/src/device/emulator.py # comment out the change_permission line

        USER $${USERNAME}
