Android 16 (API 36, Google Play x86_64) emulator on pixel_9a on top
of the selkies-desktop streaming chain. The google_apis_playstore
image ships Play Store + Google Play services (GMS) + Google Chrome
PREINSTALLED. Browser UI on https://localhost:3000 (Selkies WebRTC),
Appium WebDriver on :4723, ADB server on :5037 (set
ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_SOCKET=tcp:localhost:5037 to drive from host).
Install apps either declaratively — a kind: android device + a
target: android deploy applies layers’ apk: packages onto the
running emulator (apkeep in-pod) — or imperatively via the generic
charly check adb install-app verb (both share one installer). apk
sources: apk-pure default, google-play via an AAS-token secret.
CPU/RAM auto-size from the host at runtime.
Requires /dev/kvm + kvm-group passthrough for hardware acceleration;
the layer declares this via security.devices so the quadlet
auto-emits AddDevice=/dev/kvm.
