Note: With the latest 1.23.0 release, the Anbox Cloud documentation is moved to https://documentation.ubuntu.com/anbox-cloud/en/latest/. Hence, the information in this discourse post may be obsolete. The documentation posts on discourse will be unlisted and archived shortly.
Discourse will still be used for user engagement and release announcements.

Starting with Anbox Cloud 1.12, use the following new hooks instead of the deprecated ones:

  • Use pre-start instead of install
  • Use pre-start instead of restore
  • Use post-start instead of prepare
  • Use post-stop instead of backup

The new hooks run for all types of instances (containers and virtual machines). To execute a hook only for a regular or a base instance, use the INSTANCE_TYPE environment variable. This variable is set to either base or regular.

For example, if you want to execute a hook only when your application is bootstrapped, you can do the following:

if [ "$INSTANCE_TYPE" = "regular" ]; then
  exit 0
fi

# Rest of the code for your addon

Copying your existing addons without modifications might have unintended side effects, because your hooks will run for every instance.
