Expo EAS Local Build Docker Image
Published on: 2025-08-15 14:51:56
Expo Android Local Build Environment 🚀
Meet eas-like-local-builder: a Docker image built to streamline local Expo Android app builds, mirroring the Expo Application Services (EAS) environment for local builds 🎯
Why Use This? 🤔
EAS cloud building can be costy, local builds require dependencies. This image tries to mimic EAS' ubuntu-22.04-jdk-17-ndk-r26b Android build server image in your local (or CI/CD) environment.💥
