Change the mode for dev files:
sudo chmod 0600 -R /dev/binder /dev/ashmem /dev/dri/*
Then start the lxc instance via:
lxc-start -F -n android
adb connection
Install adb via:
# sudo apt-get install -y adb
# adb root
# adb connect 10.0.3.174
# adb shell
# adb push ~/F-Droid.apk
# adb push ..... ....
Stop the intance:
# lxc -stop -n android -k
