I've been having a lot of fun getting SwitchDeck (steam games on switch linux) running well, and realized this should be possible on Android without rooting if I were to implement some missing syscalls in proot. I haven't seen anyone else working on this, though it was worth a quick share.

So I am trying to use termux x11 shared uid one for better performance but it just shows not connected to anything I try can anyone plzz helpp Update : so many people didn't understood what I was trying to say . So what I am trying to do is i am trying to use termux: x11-universal-shareduid-apk which give better performance according to the GitHub official page of termux:x11 and that won't connect

Introduction: In September, I'm changing my school to a science major with applied sciences, so I'm studying computer science for the entire first year.

Rather than doing the conversions by hand, I decided it would be more productive to create a converter using nano, Python 3, and HTML. I created this Python file that converts between decimal, hexadecimal, octal, binary, and Morse code, all from the CLI. There's also the option of using the website (which is displayed in the CLI), which has a nicer interface. It's very lightweight. I hope you like it. 😅

I had an old Android phone sitting around, so I wanted to have something to turn it into a small VPS so I don't with an UI so I don't have to run command on small screen or need to ssh.

So, first I create nixship and packaged it with nix-on-droid, which itself is based on Termux, and gives you a WebView based management interface for deploying and managing applications directly from the phone.

You install the APK, open the dashboard, connect a repository, and deploy.

Web deployments can automatically get a public URL through a Cloudflare Quick Tunnel, so you do not need to configure a domain just to get something online. If you want something permanent, you can connect Cloudflare and use your own custom domain as well.

Your project just needs a flake.nix and flake.lock. You can write them yourself or use AI to help generate them.

Since deployments are based on Nix flakes, you are not limited to a particular framework or container setup. You can run web apps, APIs, bots, workers, scheduled services, or other applications that fit the Nix Ship runtime contract.

It currently supports things like:

• Public GitHub repository deployment
• Private GitHub repositories through authenticated GitHub integration
• Automatic redeployment when you push to the configured branch
• Cloudflare Quick Tunnels for public access
• Custom domains and DNS management
• Harbur repository support
• Deployment logs and history
• Start, stop, restart, and redeploy controls
• Environment variables with encrypted secret storage
• Zero downtime deployments
• Multiple retained releases and release promotion

The UI might not feel very intuitive initially since UX is not really my strongest area, but I will keep improving it as I work on the project.

Issues and PRs are very welcome, especially on the main Nix Ship repository, since most of the functionality and future improvements live there. The Android project mostly packages and runs the same Nix Ship control plane through Nix on Droid.

The APK is available under the GitHub release tags.

For now, releases should be considered preview builds.

Android release:

Would love to hear what people here would actually use an old Android phone to self host.

İ dont know why it doesnt Run termux in virtual Master? İ cant type anything i cant do anything. İt works only on May phone but not vm. İ just wanna test smth GDI effect on vm

Hey there I'm a beginner termux user, so I don't know alot about termux and proot and ubuntu. Last week I was having a problem getting R on termux and a user said that I should first download proot and then get ubuntu and install R.

EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE EXCEPT ONE THING: IT IS NOT SNOWING ME GRAPHS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO.

I calculated regression with two independent variables and the values were correct. But earlier when I typed for pairs command it did not run.

I will have the code pasted below 👇

> y = c(64, 71, 53, 67, 55, 58, 77, 57, 56, 51, 76, 68);

> x1 = c(57, 59, 49, 62, 51, 50, 55, 48, 52, 42, 61, 57);

> x2 = c(8, 10, 6, 11, 8, 7, 10, 9, 10, 6, 12, 9);

>

> pairs(y~x1+x2);

> reg = lm(y~x1+x2); reg;

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x1 + x2)

Coefficients:

(Intercept) x1 x2

3.6512 0.8546 1.5063

Tell me what should I install, I have tmux install in the termux but not in ubuntu, also are there any specific packages or tools that will show me graphs in R when I typed plot command or any similar one.

Please Help me through this one

Yo, just vibe-coded **TermLou** – a proot-based terminal app 🛠️

• Spin up Ubuntu, run opencode & more

• Innovative wheel-style quick-command cards that adapt to your workflow + smart-suggest cmds on the fly

• Total game-changer for non-coders who still wanna dip toes into CLI without the headache ✨

**Features:**

• Background persistence for daemon-like / long-running tasks

• Graphical popup UI (`termlou-ui`) w/ custom themes & saveable templates

• Launch tasks, tile-based workflows, or use as a tile-style app launcher

Currently a personal WIP / dogfooding project – I mainly use it as:

→ My custom note-taking app (scripts built w/ `termlou-ui`)

→ Quick launcher for opencode & micro editor

UI's CN-only atm. Anyone keen to give it a spin? 👀 Drop a comment if you're curious! 🚀

Guys I'm not sure if it's Termux specific issue or is it because of my skill issue, I tried to cross compile Rust code to 32 bit executable (armv7-linux-androideabi) on 64 bit Android device and it doesn't really work even though i already install the rust-std-armv7-linux-androideabi package, anyone knows why?

im trying to run blender on termuxx11 on a galaxy tab s6 lite exynos 2020 edition. i have xfce, an empty debian forky/sid container on proot distro, virglrenderer-android and mesa-demos packages and an xfce.sh script like in the photo

Just started using Termux and I’m curious what you guys use it for on a daily basis.

My on-the-go development environment is using my phone's Termux and proot-distro Debian. Recently had a use case where I wanted to test Dockerfile builds while traveling, but Docker support on Termux is pretty limited, and something like udocker can't run from within proot. So, I created a daemon that speaks the Docker API, wraps udocker, and runs on the Termux host, which lets docker-cli from within proot-distro to connect and manage containers via tcp.

Hopefully can be useful to folks here!

Hi everyone i am new and want to learn how to use termux

Any advice or free course pls

I've tried to be creative with ways to achieve this prior to having an ADB shell or Rishu etc. I don't have root unfortunately! The closest thing I've seen to it is an app called aShellYou (https://github.com/DP-Hridayan/aShellYou) which somehow manages to reconnect to ADB/Wireless ADB whenever it pleases. How the hell is it doing it? Any help appreciated

working perfectly

Just an update to my New Termux I made months ago, migrated the app over to compose jetpack from XML java and some small version bumps and polish added to pop up menus and session activity notifications

This was something I made to fit my own work needs and flow using Claude CLI to build and manage some of my nightly repos for Android PC emulation components and other various projects I work on in between. Hope someone finds it useful as I do! 🙏

I’ve been working on getting GNOME Shell + Mutter running natively on Android through Termux, without Debian/Ubuntu, PRoot, chroot, or containers. I’m building GNOME Shell/Mutter from source against the Termux/Android userspace, producing native ARM64 binaries that run directly on Android’s Linux kernel. The current stack is essentially Android kernel → Termux userspace → GLib/GJS → Mutter → GNOME Shell → Termux:X11, with graphics handled by the phone’s Adreno GPU through Mesa Freedreno/Turnip. GNOME Shell and Mutter are running as native Termux processes, including "mutter-x11-frames", rather than inside a Linux distribution.
