Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android/issues/193

When running the Samsung Galaxy S6 emulator from budtmo/docker-android-x86-9.0, the storage left is very small.

A fresh start on the emulator is already taking 89½ of the storage.

The installed packages are the ones that come by default under the container.

Can the internal storage be increased for the avd to at least 16.0GB? From my point of view 4.0GB nowadays is not enough.

Thanks for your work!

There is an Environment Variable ready for us so that we can increase the storage.
In my case I was able to increase the Internal Memory to 8GB just by adding the following line into my Dockerfile:

ENV DATAPARTITION 8000m

I will now close the issue, thanks!
