I'm not sure if it is a good idea at all.. but what we're doing right now is archiving the whole android_emulator folder and apply it on the image. This gives us instant boot (because the snapshots are also copying over) and also possibility to add stuff to emulator (language/none animation/contacts/store credentials etc.).

@JoeSSS I think it is not a good idea, because the changes inside Emulator (for example in Settings) will be stored there as well. but there is no harm if you can add it in the documentation and create a PR maybe? I assume that you use the existing android_emulator folder from host and share volume with docker container, right?
