New features & improvements

Known issues

  • Since version 1.23.0, the Anbox WebRTC Data Proxy service starts on demand rather than at container startup. However, its startup time may take longer than expected, which can negatively impact the out-of-band data exchange between the WebRTC server and client. This issue can be worked around by applying the following tweak in a pre-start hook.

    #!/bin/sh -ex
    if  [ "$CONTAINER_TYPE" = "regular" ]; then
      exit 0
    fi
    
    DROP_IN_DIR=/etc/systemd/system/anbox-webrtc-data-proxy.service.d/
    sudo mkdir -p "${DROP_IN_DIR}"
    sudo tee "${DROP_IN_DIR}/override.conf" > /dev/null <<EOF
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    EOF
    
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl enable anbox-webrtc-data-proxy
