Anbox is a discontinued free and open-source compatibility layer that aims to allow mobile applications and mobile games developed for Android to run on Linux distributions.[2] Canonical introduced Anbox Cloud, for running Android applications in a cloud environment.[3]

Anbox executes the Android runtime environment by using LXC (Linux Containers), recreating the directory structure of Android as a mountable loop image, while using native Linux kernel to execute applications. It makes use of Linux namespaces through LXC for isolation. Applications do not have any direct hardware access, all accesses are sent through the Anbox daemon.[4]

Anbox was deprecated on February 3, 2023 as it's no longer being actively maintained.[5]
