we dont need to put it inside the Dockerfile, but we can pass the variable on the fly, cant we? as User use different on OS and it seems it is needed only for Windows OS. Maybe you can write it in readme that this environment variable is needed for Windows OS

Okay, I will fix this. Additionally, I will explore more, as currently, it is only confirmed to work with the UIAutomator2 Driver.

Deep in dive into the source code, I found that the capability appium:remoteAdbHost or appium:host both works.
Take UiAutomator2 driver as example:
The capability was used by uiautomator2Opts.host
the uiautomator2Opts.host was used by JWProxy
JWProxy use it to make request to the uiautomator-server running on android.
Espresso driver use the same logic.
Flutter driver directly use UiAutomator2 .
I successfully ran the Docker image on a Windows host and was able to connect to my Android device for development using Appium Inspector. For more detail, please refer to #140 (comment) .
