Termux Useful Tweaks

#termux #android #linux #cli

What is termux?

For those who do not know what termux is:

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required. A minimal base system is installed automatically - additional packages are available using the APT package manager.

Basic shortcuts 



Volume Down  -->  Ctrl
Volume Up    -->  Esc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So to clean your screen you can press Volume Down + l which is the same as if you were in a normal Linux terminal

To exit your terminal you can press Volume Down + d

More advanced keyboard settings (terminal) visit this link on termux wiki.

Use F-droid instead of google play store

The updated termux version can only be found on the F-droid repo, read more here

In my case I had difficulties downloading F-droid directly to my android, so I downloaded it on my computer and started a http server using python to download it directly in my phone:



aria2c -c https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk
python3 -m http.server
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I had to get my local ip (computer) and type it on my firefox on the phone:



http://ip:8000
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

There is also another alternative store: https://auroraoss.com/

Environment variables

Termux has a $PREFIX environment variable:

/data/data/com.termux/files/usr
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can use it in some cases to avoid typing all the above path

Initial install:

First install from F-droid:



termux termux-api
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Backing up termux settings

source: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Backing_up_Termux

In this example, a backup of both home and sysroot will be shown. The resulting archive will be stored on your shared storage (/sdcard) and compressed with gzip.

  1. Ensure that storage permission is granted:


termux-setup-storage
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

NOTE: Every time you have any permissions problem revoke termux permissions and run termux-setup-storare

  1. Backing up files:


tar -zcf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files ./home ./usr
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Backup should be finished without any error. There shouldn't be any permission denials unless the user abused root permissions. If you got some warnings about socket files, ignore them.

Restoring

Here will be assumed that you have backed up both home and usr directory into same archive. Please note that all files would be overwritten during the process.

  1. Ensure that storage permission is granted:


termux-setup-storage
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Extract home and usr with overwriting everything. Pass --recursive-unlink to remove any junk and orphaned files. Pass --preserve-permissions to set file permissions as in archive, ignoring the umask value. By combining these extra options you will get installation state exactly as was in archive.


tar -zxf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files --recursive-unlink --preserve-permissions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now close Termux with the "exit" button from notification and open it again.

Backup using termux-backup:
In my case I have used this command

termux-backup ~/storage/shared/Documents/termux-backup.tar.xz
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To restore just change "backup" for "restore"

Fix: repository is under maintenance or down

This solution comes from this youtube video/channel

The error is as follows:
N: Metadata integrity can't be verified, repository is disabled now.

N: Possible cause: repository is under maintenance or down (wrong sources.list URL?).

This issue is caused by bad repo sources or mirrors and because of this the package installations fail with an error saying "repository is under maintenance or down".
A solution for this issue is to change the mirrors using the termux-change-repo command and that is what this video explains.

So, the commands are:



termux-change-repo
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Use space to select all the above options until you reach the next screen as follows:

In my case I chose the second of the list that follows

Install some useful apps 

pkg update && pkg upgrade
pkg install termux-tools openssh mpv wget termux-api neovim python iproute2 git
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

TIP: You can abbreviate "install" just typing "in"

Copy your public ssh key to your computer

Generate your ssh-key on your android:

ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@ip
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

TIP: When generating your ssh keys do not type any password and set your sshd to allow only public key logins, this way you can login easily.

You also need to set a password to your use, just in case you need to access your ssh server without your keys:

passwd
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Discover your termux "user" name:

whoami
--> this is mine: u0_a225
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can also get your user name by typing:

echo $USER
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Start your sshd:

sshd -p 2222
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Copy your computer's ssh public key to your android (termux):

ssh-copy-id -p 2222 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub u_0a225@yourip
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using scp 



scp -P 2223 aliases u0_a103@192.168.15.30:~/storage/downloads
scp -P 8022 *.mp3 u0_184@192.168.15.2:~/storage/music
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Access your termux using nautilus

Remember to change the port number accordingly!

sftp://u0_a225@phone/data/data/com.termux/files/home
sftp://u0_a225@192.168.0.100:8022/data/data/com.termux/files/home
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Some useful aliases (~/.bashrc) 



alias localip='ip addr | grep -Po '\''(?<=inet)\s(?!127)[^/]+'\'
alias vim='/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/nvim'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set folders

According to termux wiki: In order to have access to shared storage (/sdcard or /storage/emulated/0), Termux needs a storage access permission. It is not granted by default and is not requested on application startup since it is not necessary for normal application functioning.

Storage access permission will not enable write access to the external sdcard and drives connected over USB.

termux-setup-storage
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

termux style

Having a nice looking terminal for me is something essential, so:

git clone https://github.com/adi1090x/termux-style
cd termux-style
ls
chmod +x install
./install
termux-style
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

How to use Termux to download YouTube videos 



wget -c https://pastebin.com/raw/RijZvset -O install.sh
dos2unix install
chmod u+x install.sh
./install.sh
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Setup your python libs in a more sane way: 

pip3 install pipx
pipx ensurepath # make sure to set path
pipx install yt-dlp # fix some youtube-dl issues [official site](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)
pipx install yturl
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then you can:

alias youtube-dl="/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.local/bin/yt-dlp"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The instalation script:



#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
# 4/05/2017 Gabi Tiplea

echo -e "Updating default packages\n"
apt update && apt -y upgrade

echo -e "Requesting acces to storage\n"
termux-setup-storage
sleep 5

echo -e "Installing python\n"
packages install -y python

echo -e "Installing youtube-dl\n"
yes | pip install youtube-dl

echo -e "Creating the Youtube folder to download the files\n"
mkdir ~/storage/shared/Youtube

echo -e "Creating youtube-dl folder for config\n"
mkdir -p ~/.config/youtube-dl

echo -e "Creating bin folder\n"
mkdir ~/bin

echo -e "Downloading and installing termux-url-opener\n"
wget http://pastebin.com/raw/LhDxGbtY -O ~/bin/termux-url-opener
dos2unix ~/bin/termux-url-opener


echo -e "\n"
echo -e "Copyright 2017 Gabi Tiplea\n"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install trash-cli 

pipx install trash-cli
alias rm='echo use trash instead!'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Trash-cli moves your files to ~/.local/share/Trash

Set youtube-dl script permissions

Fasd_cd

Fasd (pronounced similar to "fast") is a command-line productivity booster. Fasd offers quick access to files and directories for POSIX shells. It is inspired by tools like autojump, z and v. Fasd keeps track of files and directories you have accessed, so that you can quickly reference them in the command line.

The name fasd comes from the default suggested aliases f(files), a(files/directories), s(show/search/select), d(directories).

Fasd ranks files and directories by "frecency," that is, by both "frequency" and "recency." The term "frecency" was first coined by Mozilla and used in Firefox (link).



########### aliases para o fasd_cd ##########
# aliases para fasd
alias a='fasd -a' # any
alias s='fasd -si' # show / search / select
alias d='fasd -d' # directory
alias f='fasd -f' # file
alias vf='vim $(fasd -f)'
alias sd='fasd -sid' # interactive directory selection
alias sf='fasd -sif' # interactive file selection
alias z='fasd_cd -d' # cd, same functionality as j in autojump
alias zz='fasd_cd -d -i' # cd with interactive selection
alias v='f -e nvim' # open file with vim
#alias v='f -t -e vim -b viminfo'
alias _!='fc -e "sed -i -e \"s/^/sudo /\""' # sudo last command
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Also add these lines to yourc .bashrc



# init configuration of fasd tool ##############
# source: https://github.com/clvv/fasd
eval "$(fasd --init auto)"

fasd_cache="$HOME/.fasd-init-bash"
if [ "$(command -v fasd)" -nt "$fasd_cache" -o ! -s "$fasd_cache" ]; then
    fasd --init posix-alias bash-hook bash-ccomp bash-ccomp-install >| "$fasd_cache"
