## What it is
AinD runs Android inside Docker by nesting Anbox containers, without requiring nested virtualization. It is deprecated as of April 2021 in favor of ReDroid and is stuck on Android 7.1.

## Use cases
- run android apps in docker containers
- android on cloud vps without nested virtualization
- anti-theft android setup
- android compatibility for ios or windows tablets
- self-host android apps on a server

## When to choose
- you specifically need Anbox-based Android in Docker on legacy Android 7.1
- your host lacks nested virtualization and you cannot use ReDroid

## When to avoid
- you need modern Android versions - use ReDroid instead
- you want cloud gaming performance
- you need a maintained or supported project

## Facets

- maturity: abandoned
- function: container-runtime, developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, self-hosted
