I want to install Linux system in my phone how is the way

Many thanks to make it possible to run alpine on termux :)

Could you change the download link to latest-stable instead of hard-coded version number

Like this:

ARCH=$(uname -m)
ALPINE_VER=$(curl -s http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/releases/$ARCH/latest-releases.yaml | grep -m 1 -o version.* | sed 's/[^0-9.]*//g')
ALPINE_URL="http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/releases/$ARCH/alpine-minirootfs-$ALPINE_VER-$ARCH.tar.gz"

wget $ALPINE_URL

Also update the repo file:

echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/main/"       > $HOME/TermuxAlpine/etc/apk/repositories; \
echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community/" >> $HOME/TermuxAlpine/etc/apk/repositories; \
echo "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/"            >> $HOME/TermuxAlpine/etc/apk/repositories

The reason I don't send PR is because I don't really write bash code, so it will be a mess :p

I have been trying the instructions on Alpine's WIKI trying to get a working GUI but can't seem to find the magic. Xorg, X11VNC and my preferred.. xRDP are not able to be started correctly. The simplest X11 export DISPLAY=0 or any variation commands fail. xRDP launches and logs in but can't reach a desktop (MATE) or gui app directly.
It seems since rc-service is not started due to proot config some functions just won't start or nest correctly.
There are 2 other details I ran into with the package.

1. I had to change TMPDIR to use the rootfs/tmp directory.. Openjdk8 was having heartburn with the termux env path. <-under the current proot config, I don't think it can reach it..
2. To use xRDP you have to add a user. That process works fine but login fails after being successful due to bash config from termux env. responds with bad shell and kicks you back to root account bash config..
   I would love to use this for the few linux apps there are not android ports for. I don't really care about a full linux desktop on Android x86_64. (Running PrimeOS)For now , I have Android Studio, Serviio Media Server running fine on Proot Ubuntu.. AQEMU qemu front end running well on termux directly..VirtualBox is the only other target left I don't have a good android port for already..
   i really like the footprint (size) of Alpine if the x11 support was just a little more do-able..
   Thanks!!

I found that alpine in qemu is too slow; what's i use top in termux, i find only one core works. so how to run alpine in qemu with multi-core. I test qemu-system-x86_64 -hda virt-alpine.img -boot c -m 1024 -smp 6,sockets=6, but it does not work

Can it,Set color font to TermuxAlpine ?

When I try to restart termux app,It doesn's work.How shall I do.
Thank you in advance for your selfless help.

Today i follow instruction from Readme in this repo, installation success without any error. But after issued command startalpine i will try to install nodejs. What's wrong with my installation, can somebody tell me how to make it work ?

Step to reproduce :

$ apk update && apk upgrade
$ apk add ca-certificates git
$ apk add nodejs npm
$ which node
/usr/bin/node
$ node -v

$ which npm
/usr/bin/npm
$ npm -v

Dear advanced author of this script to install Alpine.
I Am visually impaired with no sight at all. And I have The possibility to use Xwayland protocol. I can use Mate desktop environment and Orca screen reader, which is packaged in Alpine Linux repository.
Unfortunately for Me, Orca screen reader packager have forgotten to add very important Orca screen dependency.
Speech-dispatcher.
This speech server is The crucial part of Orca. It can not speak without this C complex app.

Please could you help Me to build This speech server on Alpine Linux AArch64 architecture?
I have used your Bash script to install Alpine.

There are complex issues while building Speech-dispatcher.
Here is Speech-dispatcher github repository address.
https://github.com/brailcom/speechd
Sure I have followed The documentation.
But I Am getting errors.

I Am sad, because Alpine uses Mate without depend on Systemd so no errors are displaied, Alpine eve support start Linux services in Chroot mode even if Linux kernel is not presented, so it would be more than ideal distribution for visually impaired Orca users.

May be, that you will help Me.

jdk 8 won't install

hello the best android emulator is termux simply? termuxalpine? termuxkalinethunter?termuxarch? or a new terminal? for pentest in android smartphone.
my phone is rooted aarch64 oreo8 sony xperia g3221 xa1 .thanks for your help(sorry for my bad english)

Include script to install termux-api in the alpine environment.

One way to do this is supply an optional script, install-termux-api:

#!/bin/sh
set -eu
apk info 2>/dev/null > apk-before.txt

apk -q add git gcc make libc-dev
ln -sfn /bin/sh /usr/bin/sh
git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/termux/termux-api-package.git
cd termux-api-package
sed -i 's/arc4random/rand/g' termux-api.c
sed -i 's|PREFIX ?= .*$|PREFIX = /usr|' Makefile
make --silent install
cd ..

# Clean up.   Remove repo and packages that weren't previously installed.
apk info | grep -vxf apk-before.txt | xargs -r apk -q del
apk cache --purge || true
rm -rf termux-api-package apk-before.txt

This builds on Alpine x86, but is untested in TermuxAlpine.

On Oreo /etc/resolv.conf is empty because getprop gives a different value than Nougat, etc. I've tested it on 8.1 on LG Stylo 4 and Nexus 6p on 8.0. Need to check the size of the file and use default values if it's empty.

I was following intructions on your blog , but thats is not working, displaying some error/warning seem like "Cannot read display :1"

I just follow the README.md, there is not startalpine to run

Hi, thanks for this great project!

I see you're using armhf version of alpine. Is it possible to use armv7 also? That arch seems to have more packages.

When I try to git clone any repository, I get the following error.

~ # git clone https://github.com/Hax4us/TermuxAlpine.git
Cloning into 'TermuxAlpine'...
fatal: Invalid path '/root/TermuxAlpine/.git': Operation not permitted

When I update the package,
Alpine say
"ERROR: http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community/: temporary error (try again later)
WARNING: Ignoring APKINDEX.6ab67d3b.tar.gz: No such file or directory"

How do i remove/uninstall termux alpine?

I don't have much space left and I want to clean

Hi there

I've reinstalled termux but I'm still getting these errors:

[*] Configuring Alpine For You .../data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/TermuxAlpine/finaltouchup.sh: line 4: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/TermuxAlpine/etc/profile: No such file or directory

Any ideas how I resolve them so I can run Alpine?

I'm running Lineage 16 (Android 9) on my Kindle HDX 7".

Thanks

I wan to write a script to keep log in outside directory which android system can access. Is it possible?

Hello, I have successfully set up VNC server with your help. But as we all know, VNC is inefficient, and there are some stuns on my device. Do you have any way to use XServer XSDL to run the desktop environment. I use i3wm, if you can give detailed steps for this WM, it will be better.Thank you.

I was able to successfully get alpine installed in termux proot on my chromebook. When I run startalpine' I get the following error message: proot warning: can't sanitize binding "/sys/": No such file or directory`. This doesn't seem to affect things as far as I can tell so far, but wanted to be sure.

My main reason for installing alpine was to get terraform working. When I run terraform init I get the following error: Couldn't setup logging tempfile: open /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/terraform-log605266379: no such file or directory. I can confirm that directory exists. Is there a step I'm missing that would allow alpine to write to the tmp directory? Thanks.

When I install openjdk8, the proot crashed

armeabi-v7a

On legacy Termux, two packages (Kakoune, kak and Chezmoi, chezmoi) segfault on armhf and armv7 Alpine.

Happens on two devices.

Other programs run fine.

Can anyone explain why?
