Looks promising!

Does anyone happen to know if the app can auto-run at startup? Im having a heck of a time getting auto-start to work on termux + Apache2. If the phone powers down and then gets power later, I have to physically unlock and restart termux at the moment. Kinda sucks. But if local desktop can do something similar AND can start when the phone starts that would be a slam dunk for me.

Remember too , no snapdragon processor supports bare metal Linux terminal at the moment. Only Mediatek and Google Tensor for now.

I thought one or two of the Samsung foldables with snapdragons supported it.

You might be thinking of the flip 7 which actually comes with an exynos chip in all regions.

Not as far as their official marketing materials say image

That’s the Fold 7, not the Flip 7.

You would need to root your phone to do that

Does termux boot plugin not work or are you running it from sv?

Using the termux boot plugin I have a few services (sshd etc) and some scripts to connect wireless debugging and start shizuku run without issue. I realize apache is a bit more complex. But it should still be doable

Technically any phone would need to at least be unlocked to allow for most features.

I also have an always on VPN which can’t connect until after first unlock which prevents any wireless communication.

won’t install on my older tablet, unfortunately. Must be 64-bit or something.

The maintainer embeds Google Ads into news/blog section of statically generated webpage that’s supposed to contain documentation, hosted on GitHub… I am surprised, fascinated and disgusted.
