    Anbox doesn't even support Artful. There is no PPA for Bionic. I spent too much time trying to make it work on Ubuntu 18.04 but kernel module just didnt work. Your best bet is to rebuild from sources..

  • @karel because the snap package only contains an installer script of several kilobytes.. the actual anbox container's size is about 400MB and it's downloaded on the first launch from a PPA. Edit: I see that you already mentioned that in your answer

  • Sorry, I am a newbie. How do I rebuild from source?

  • you can follow the steps from the original github repo, the build fails midway for me although there are reports of successful builds on bionic in the issues section. @karel welcome
