VM seems heavy weight for this, but yes it should totally work, albeit using more memory. I'm guessing 500MiB? In the last couple months I started running into weird Android battery life problems, and discovered Battery Historian. And quickly discovered the github project offers a Docker container. I'm a Docker lightweight. But I ran the recipe for installing and running it, which I vaguely recall amounted to one or two lines, pointed my browser to the IP + port for the container, and it worked. It takes a few seconds to "boot" and uses maybe 5MiB memory, and perhaps upwards of 80MiB while it's processing an Android bug report - then spits out pretty graphs. I've run it locally and on a remove NUC, same command, just change the IP address I point my web browser to. I know, containers! Shiny new thing! But it really was easier to deal with for this use case than setting up a VM. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
