I don't think you need an open for this, you could just install nginx under Termux, or even not under it.


We need open computing in as many segments as possible with major corporations embrancing the AppStore model and deciding increasingly directly what you can't and cannot do with your own devices, often in the name of "security".

The ability to run the exact same OS on my phone as I do on my laptop with a nice, mobile friendly UI while retaining all the power is a remarkable achievement for the free software community.


Plus with their announced usb-c hub, it seems that one could connect to a screen+keyboard+mouse and work on things for a bit if one forgot the laptop.


I do this via DeX mode on my Samsung S10e, but linux for DeX was killed off unfortunately. I really wish convergence via a linux phone had made more progress by now considering how close it felt back in 2010. Still excited at the progress devs have made so far with the pinephone.


That's what I look forward to most.


You do as Google is breaking termux in the next Android.


On the contrary, the termux folks refuse to adopt solutions that would make it work how Android applications are supposed to be written in first place.

Use Java framework and NDK APIs instead of pretending Android is Linux with another UI shell.


Luckily (lol) my phone is never going to get that update.


Your link doesn't work.



Ah, crap
