I've had similar problem on Debian Sid with packages provided by debian (installed anbox as sudo apt install anbox).

After a bit of digging I've found that anbox-container-manager service was unable to start because there was no /var/lib/anbox/android.img installed. I've downloaded android-7.1.1 image and placed it there, since then it seems to work fine for me.

P.S. In your logs container-manager.log is empty so it's not really possible to verify if you have same problem as I did.

I don't even have anbox folder in /var/lib

You should create it then and place android image to it. At least by default anbox is looking for a file at that path and if it's not there it will fail to start.

I'm not sure though if for snap the path is still the same, I've used just packages that was in debian repo, but symptoms looked the same when I didn't have android image.

Where can I download the image

@Rubix-1 http://build.anbox.io/android-images/2018/07/19/android_amd64.img - that's android 7.1.1 with patchset from ~July 2018. I don't know if you can find anything newer. But you can try to search for "androix x86-64".
