Buid docker image for M1 Mac with development tools and vnc

(1) With the release of docker preview for Mac M1, it is now possible to build some arm64 images.
Docker M1 preview
https://desktop.docker.com/mac/m1preview/Docker-AppleSilicon-Preview7.dmg

(2) Install the above preview and then use terminal the tools. The build script is based on Android SDK docker image for x64 and modify it for arm64. Moreover, swift 5.3.1, clang 10.0.0, kotlin 1.4.21, gradle 6.7.1, gcc 9.3.0, java 11, firefox, visual studio code and codeblocks are added for development purpose.

(3) Shell script run in Mac docker info # check if docker is installed properly in Mac M1
mkdir -p ${HOME}/android_sdk_vnc
cd ${HOME}/android_sdk_vnc

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thyrlian/AndroidSDK/master/android-sdk/vnc/watchdog.sh

(4) Create the following Dockfile

(5) build the Dockfile

docker build -f Dockerfile -t arm64v8/android-sdk-vnc .

(6) Copy Mac host id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys and start the container

cp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys .
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

# To start the container as daemon

docker run -d --name android-sdk-vnc -p 5901:5901 -p 2222:22 -p 5037:5037 \
-v $(pwd)/authorized_keys:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys arm64v8/android-sdk-vnc

# To connect the container via ssh

ssh root@<IP address of your Mac M1> -p 2222

# To stop the container

docker container stop android-sdk-vnc

(7) To connect to the vnc of the docker image after starting the container
Use the Mac Finder "Go" -> "Connect To Server" and enter "vnc://0.0.0.0:5901"
For other machines in the network enter "vnc://<IP address of your Mac M1>:5901"

The passwords are in the vncpass.sh when building which are
password="android"
password_view_only="docker"

(8) There is a common problem if you are connecting remotely using Mac Terminal, so the solution is to not forward your locale. Edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and comment out SendEnv LANG LC_* line.

(9) Testing swift
# attach to the running container

docker exec -it android-sdk-vnc bash

# test
mkdir -p ${HOME}/Projects
cd ${HOME}/Projects
git clone https://github.com/apple/example-package-dealer.git
cd example-package-dealer
swift run Dealer
