basically an on the go linux development environment for your tablet and phone, i mainly use it to sync data between my devices using git, and some light dev work when i don’t have access to my pc.

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment application that works directly with no rooting or setup required. termux wiki

ports (change them for more security), most services ports are their normal ports prefixed with 80

Setting up

storage access

termux-setup-storage

the folder location is /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/.

Environment

essential APPS

pkg install git wget zip 

programming languages

pkg install python3 rust 

SSH

check this

Obsidian w/ git

since we installed git we can now sync notes folder thru a private repo

create it and set it up on your pc

in .gitignore depending on the plugins you use, either ignore the entire .obsidian or just what u don’t wanna bother u everytime you create a new folder/file :

here’s mine, i sync the themes and plugins so everywhere matches.

.obsidian/icons
.obsidian/workspace-mobile.json
.obsidian/workspace.json
.vscode

now you can add an alias to go immediately cd into the notes folder, or set a cron job to auto pull/push at let’s say midnight

alias example:

alias <alias name>='cd /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared/<your notes folder>'

some stuff i usually add in termux ~/.zshrc file:

  
alias update = "pkg update && pkg upgrade -y"
# for github
eval "$(ssh-agent) -s"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/[your github key]
# to start the ssh daemon
sshd

Styling

terminal theme

git clone https://github.com/adi1090x/termux-style.git
cd termux-style
./install

i use wild-cherry

styling nano

you can edit ~/.nanorc and add these for qol improvements:

set linenumbers
set numbercolor red
set titlecolor yellow
set mouse
set tabsize 2
set multibuffer

zsh and oh my zsh

install zsh

pkg install zsh

oh my zsh

  
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

then change shell

chsh

syntax highlighting and autosuggestion

  
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git $ZSH/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

add them in the plugin section

plugins=( 
    # other plugins...
    zsh-autosuggestions
    zsh-syntax-highlighting
)

that’s it, now you have a small dev environment in ur pocket or - if your tablet is some what big - on something that won’t die in ~2 hrs xD
