I want to execute my set of Test suite on AWS Linux instance using appium .
Things needed are a AVD , appium server .
I am unable to do so please help me out.
You can run docker container with openJDK, Android SDK, Appium and emulator on Linux AWS instance. The thing is, to run your tests smoothly linux machine should support KVM - in this case you able to create x86 emulator. Without it you are limited to use super slow ARM emulators - bad idea.
As an option, you may look into genymotion-on-demand in AWS. Should suit you need.

I have a python program using PySimpleGUI. It works on Windows, a pure Linux machine and it also works on the WSL. I'd like to use it on my phone(Pixel 7 pro). Buildozer makes the apk file but during the process 'buildozer android deploy run logcat' it runs the adb devices cmd and finds nothing. The adb devices from a PowerShell works fine. It probably has something to do with the virtual machine WSL provides. I've queried google and read pages of information and suggestions and nothing so far works.
Please let me know if I can provide anymore info that will help solve this.
I've tried running the adb in the build environment manually, outside build script of buildozer, with the same results, no devices found.
I'd like to move on the next step of trying or troubleshooting the app on my phone.
Thanks in advance, Craig
As i understand, docker use linux VM even i install it on windows OS.
So i agree that windows docker can execute linux container.
But then, how windows docker executes windows container?
Can i make container with other OS?
In other words, can i make container(having windows & windows app) and run it on linux docker?
As i know, docker does not support other OS in image, but it looks like some people is saying it is possible that make windows container and run it on linux.
Docker container shares just one kernel, is it possible?
To answer your questions:
That first statement is incorrect. Docker uses the underlying OS feature (container) to run its stack/daemon. The OS is responsible for instantiating the container itself. That means a Linux OS will instantiate a Linux container and Windows host will instantiate a Windows container. So, if you install Docker on Windows you don't have a Linux VM. Instead, you have the ability to instantiate Windows containers directly without the need to run Linux at all. To answer the question itself: The process is pretty much the same as Linux. You pull images with docker pull and then run them with docker run. You can also build images with docker build and everything else.
Windows containers can only run on Windows hosts (either Windows 10/11 or Windows Server). For Linux containers, that's not so strict. You can run Linux containers on Windows for development purposes, by leveraging the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
There's much more details on these on the Microsoft documentation page: https://cda.ms/4nN
How to resolve this error specially on macbook. I have installed docker on my machine also but its not working.
You have to start docker deamon on your gitlab runner.
Below is link to docker desktop for mac.
If you start docker desktop gui, docker deamon will start.
https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/
This problem is not just for mac computers but also for windows. I experienced this problem and found out that the the PowerShell script part for Infra as Code that I was using was not installing docker.
I therefore made changes to the Infra as Code to ensure that Microsoft-Hyper-V is enabled and that docker is actually installed and docker service started, then the computer HAS to be restarted for the changes to pick up.
I do not know the exact order of when the restart should happen since I am still understanding the flow but I can update my answer when I have more info
I am currently using windows 10. I want to be able to run detox test scripts on android emulators. Is this possible?
I tried to do it many times but failed. Each time I do it, some configuration issue pops up and build gets failed.
The CI/CD server is hosted on a Linux machine, so assuming we can do this, will it run there?
Also is there any good guide available to help in setting up and running detox for react-native projects on windows?
I installed Docker for windows on a windows 10 box. It required me to enable the HyperV feature on it. Everything installed correctly and is running fine.
Although one thing took me by surprise. I am actually able to run a linux container on docker windows. I thought cross-containerization is not possible conceptually. Can anyone please help me understand how does this work?
HyperV is used to spin up a Linux VM to run containers. Docker is still running Linux containers under the covers, the native Windows containers are still being developed.
Basically, you are running a Linux Container on a Linux Machine rather than Windows. Windows runs a VM in Hyper-V when you download the Docker for Windows. You can open Hyper-V Manager and see a Linux VM will be running. Currently Docker for Windows is in beta which supports the Docker natively which needs Windows 10 build no. greater than 14393.222 or a Windows Server 2016.
