It works, here the code as a reference for someone else that maybe will
need something similar

;;; coniatner.scm

```
#!/usr/bin/env -S guile -s
!#
(use-modules (guix scripts shell))

(let ((args (list "-m"
                  "manifest.scm"
                  "--container"
                  "-F"
                  "-N"
                  "-P"
                  (string-append "--share=" (getenv "ANDROID_SDK_ROOT"))
                  "--preserve='^DISPLAY$'"
                  "--preserve='^XAUTHORITY$'"
                  "--preserve='^DBUS_'"
                  (string-append "--expose=" (getenv "XAUTHORITY"))
                  "--expose=/var/run/dbus"
                  "--expose=/sys/dev"
                  "--expose=/sys/devices"
                  "--expose=/dev/dri"
                  "--expose=/dev/kvm")))

  (apply guix-shell (append args (cdr (command-line)))))
```

and then in `.envrc`

```
eval $(./container.scm --search-paths)
```

or from terminal

```
./container.scm 
```
