  • You are right. Either you are using docker very wrong, or docker is not meant for this use case.

    You say “getting ubuntu server to fetch it’s updated behind proxy”. You shouldn’t be updating Ubuntu from inside of docker. Instead, the system should be somewhat immutable. You should configure the version you want to use as part of the Docker file.

    Same with python and keys. You likely want to install python dependencies in the Dockerfile, so that you can install them once and it becomes bundled into the container image. Then you don’t need to use pip behind the proxy.




  • At my previous company we edited apks to add performance trackers. We modified the dex code directly. It was not easy, but it is possible. Some apps are obfuscated, which makes finding libraries hard. But a principal we used was to look for where the app called into the system code, especially around URL requests. So you could look for all calls to the system network libraries, and identify which ones were calls to tracker systems, and no-op those bytes.

    But, it’s probably much easier to just use the adguard dns server.
