redroid is open-source software that runs Android in containers on Linux hosts. It targets cloud gaming, virtualized phones, and automation testing, and supports multiple instances through Docker, Podman, or Kubernetes. Hosts can use arm64 or amd64 architectures, with documented Android images from 8.1 through Android 16; Android 12 and later also have 64-bit-only variants. GPU rendering can use software rendering, host GPU acceleration, or automatic detection. Display width, height, frame rate, and DPI are configurable; documented defaults are 720×1280, 320 DPI, and 30 FPS with GPU or 15 FPS without it. The documentation covers ARM apps in x86 instances and adding Google services through Open GApps, MicroG, or MindTheGapps. Android Debug Bridge connects to instances, while scrcpy displays screens. Deployment requires specific Linux kernel features, and the project warns that public ADB exposure can compromise the container and host.
