Fix : recreate the termux guide to adapt the recent changes (#4472)
* Fix : recreate the termux guide to adapt the recent changes Termux nodejs-lts changed from v14 to v16 and there are many issues people are facing such as with argon2. Hence I recommend changing it to this install process which is comparably better and has one less issue :^) I've also added some extra things such as installing GO and Python, idk about the TOC tree but this is pretty much it. * yarn-fmt and minor typos https://github.com/cdr/code-server/pull/4472#issuecomment-964752180 * Fix : replace unnecessary steps to be linked to a guide * Change from private gist to a section in Extra * Remove reference to non-existent step * ready to merge!

Termux is a terminal application and Linux environment that you can also use to
|
||||
run code-server from your Android phone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install Termux from [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/).
|
||||
1. Make sure it's up-to-date: `apt update && apt upgrade`
|
||||
1. Install required packages: `apt install build-essential python git nodejs-lts yarn`
|
||||
1. Install code-server: `yarn global add code-server`
|
||||
1. Run code-server: `code-server` and navigate to localhost:8080 in your browser
|
||||
1. Get [Termux](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/) from **F-Droid**.
|
||||
2. Install Debian by running the following.
|
||||
- Run `termux-setup-storage` to allow storage access, or else code-server won't be able to read from `/sdcard`.\
|
||||
If you used the Andronix command then you may have to edit the `start-debian.sh` script to mount `/sdcard` just as simple as uncommenting the `command+=" -b /sdcard"` line.
|
||||
> The following command was extracted from [Andronix](https://andronix.app/) you can also use [proot-distro](https://github.com/termux/proot-distro).
|
||||
> After Debian is installed the `~ $` will change to `root@localhost`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pkg update -y && pkg install wget curl proot tar -y && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndronixApp/AndronixOrigin/master/Installer/Debian/debian.sh -O debian.sh && chmod +x debian.sh && bash debian.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Run the following commands to setup Debian.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
apt update
|
||||
apt upgrade -y
|
||||
apt-get install nano vim sudo curl wget git -y
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Install [NVM](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) by following the install guide in the README, just a curl/wget command.
|
||||
5. Set up NVM for multi-user. After installing NVM it automatically adds the necessary commands for it to work, but it will only work if you are logged in as root;
|
||||
|
||||
- Copy the lines NVM asks you to run after running the install script.
|
||||
- Run `nano /root/.bashrc` and comment out those lines by adding a `#` at the start.
|
||||
- Run `nano /etc/profile` and paste those lines at the end and make sure to replace `$HOME` with `/root`
|
||||
- Now run `exit` and start Debain again.
|
||||
|
||||
6. After following the instructions and setting up NVM you can now install the [required node version](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/npm#nodejs-version) using `nvm install version_here`.
|
||||
7. To install `code-server` run the following.
|
||||
> To check the install process (Will not actually install code-server)
|
||||
> If it all looks good, you can install code-server by running the second command
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
8. You can now start code server by simply running `code-server`.
|
||||
|
||||
> Consider using a new user instead of root, read [here](https://www.howtogeek.com/124950/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-log-into-your-linux-system-as-root/) why using root is not recommended.\
|
||||
> Learn how to add a user [here](#create-a-new-user).
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
To upgrade run: `yarn global upgrade code-server --latest`
|
||||
1. Remove all previous installs `rm -rf ~/.local/lib/code-server-*`
|
||||
2. Run the install script again `curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh`
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Issues
|
||||
|
||||
The following details known issues and suggested workarounds for using
|
||||
code-server with Termux.
|
||||
### Git won't work in `/sdcard`
|
||||
|
||||
### Search doesn't work
|
||||
Issue : Using git in the `/sdcard` directory will fail during cloning/commit/staging/etc...\
|
||||
Fix : None\
|
||||
Potential Workaround :
|
||||
|
||||
There is a known issue with search not working on Android because it's missing
|
||||
`bin/rg` ([context](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1730#issuecomment-721515979)). To fix this:
|
||||
1. Create a soft-link from the debian-fs to your folder in `/sdcard`
|
||||
2. Use git from termux (preferred)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install `ripgrep` with `pkg`
|
||||
## Extra
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
pkg install ripgrep
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Create a new user
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make a soft link using `ln -s`
|
||||
To create a new user follow these simple steps -
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# run this command inside the code-server directory
|
||||
ln -s $PREFIX/bin/rg ./vendor/modules/code-oss-dev/vscode-ripgrep/bin/rg
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Create a new user by running `useradd username -m`.
|
||||
2. Change the password by running `passwd username`.
|
||||
3. Give your new user sudo access by runnning `visudo`, scroll down to `User privilege specification` and add the following line after root `username ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL`.
|
||||
4. Now edit the `/etc/passwd` file with your commadline editor of choice and at the end of the line that specifies your user change `/bin/sh` to `/bin/bash`.
|
||||
5. Now switch users, by running `su - username`
|
||||
|
||||
### Backspace doesn't work
|
||||
- Remember the `-` betweeen `su` and username is required to execute `/etc/profile`,\
|
||||
since `/etc/profile` may have some necessary things to be executed you should always add a `-`.
|
||||
|
||||
When using Android's on-screen keyboard, the backspace key doesn't work
|
||||
properly. This is a known upstream issue:
|
||||
### Install Go
|
||||
|
||||
- [Issues with backspace in Codespaces on Android (Surface Duo)](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/107602)
|
||||
- [Support mobile platforms](https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/issues/1101)
|
||||
> From https://golang.org/doc/install
|
||||
|
||||
There are two workarounds.
|
||||
1. Go to https://golang.org/dl/ and copy the download link for `linux arm` and run the following.
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 1:** Modify keyboard dispatch settings
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
wget download_link
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the Command Palette
|
||||
2. Search for **Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)**
|
||||
3. Add `"keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode"`
|
||||
2. Extract the downloaded archive. (This step will erase all previous GO installs, make sure to create a backup if you have previously installed GO)
|
||||
|
||||
The backspace button should work at this point.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf archive_name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_Thanks to @Nefomemes for the [suggestion](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1141#issuecomment-789463707)!_
|
||||
3. Run `nano /etc/profile` and add the following line `export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin`.
|
||||
4. Now run `exit` (depending on if you have switched users or not, you may have to run `exit` multiple times to get to normal termux shell) and start Debian again.
|
||||
5. Check if your install was successful by running `go version`
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 2:** Use a Bluetooth keyboard.
|
||||
### Install Python
|
||||
|
||||
> Run these commands as root
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run the following command to install required packages to build python.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \
|
||||
libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm \
|
||||
libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/) from [pyenv-installer](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer) by running.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Run `nano /etc/profile` and add the following
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PYENV_ROOT="/root/.pyenv"
|
||||
export PATH="/root/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
|
||||
eval "$(pyenv init --path)"
|
||||
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Exit start Debian again.
|
||||
5. Run `pyenv versions` to list all installable versions.
|
||||
6. Run `pyenv install version` to install the desired python version.
|
||||
> The build process may take some time (an hour or 2 depending on your device).
|
||||
7. Run `touch /root/.pyenv/version && echo "your_version_here" > /root/.pyenv/version`
|
||||
8. (You may have to start Debian again) Run `python3 -V` to verify if PATH works or not.
|
||||
> If `python3` doesn't work but pyenv says that the install was successful in step 6 then try running `$PYENV_ROOT/versions/your_version/bin/python3`.
