Can Termux do it? Any alternatives nad workarounds?

So, ive build a larger battery for my electric microcar and it has some solarpanels too.

The buildin components are leftovers. All of which i have already used with a raspberry and bluetooth connection.

Using my raspberry i had a script connecting to several parts of the system via BLE, such as battery managementsystem and solar charge controller.

I had influxDB and Grafana running via docker to vizualize sensor data.

I would love to use an old Android 5 tablet to run influxDB and Grafana via docker. This seems to be doable? Quick research showed that there are people who run alpine linux via Termux.

However i am not sure if termux will be able to utilize bluetooth to establish an BLE connection to the other devices. Are there any workarounds to that?

Also, the microcar has a bad speedometer - so pluspoints if i can get the Tablets GPS into my collected data somehow.

I am grateful for any tips on how to achive this. I am completely now to translating knowledge from a raspberry to an old android tablet.

Looking for some advice on running termux on my S25U and Tab S10U

Hello,

Recently I traded in my S22U for a S25U and Tab S10U. I want to run hardware accelerated termux x11 and be able to launch accelerated proot distro program in native termux x11. I also want to use fex and/or box64 to run x86_64 linux and windows apps (would need wine). Additionally set up winlator and mobox to be used there.

Is there any sort of community guide on setting it up with both Qualcomm and mediatek? I assume I need to use some proprietary/custom drivers or virgl?

Any help would be appreciated.

How to run termux

Everything related to it piques my curiosity easily. So a few days ago received a notification of someone who had installed termux and I did research about what it is and it's uses and sincerely I haven't figured out how to use the shit. Seem like a cool project but can't find a way to set it up. Any help will be appreciated.

My focus stacked time lapse video using Termux

As I posted previously, I modified the Termux camera program to be able to do a lot more stuff (manual controls, time lapse, focus bracketing, and so on). I set it up to take 6 photos (focus bracketing) each minute. After 672 phots, when nothing interesting was happening anymore, I ran a sh script to invoke a focus stacking program, and then I used ffmpeg to combine the photos into a video. This is the result: https://youtu.be/TNRlVrQbWRs

If you are interested, I can post more details.

Is Termux X11 secure?

So long story short:

I am planning to use an Android device running desktop Linux via Termux X11 and proot-distro as a laptop replacement, but first I want to make sure there would be no safety issues.

I've tried Debian on an Android phone via Termux-X11 (proot-distro). Then I installed the ufw firewall but it wouldn't let me enable the service, since it seemingly needs root to do it.

The question is: how safe is it to use a proot distro for internet-facing stuff? Is it safe to browse the web, log into accounts etc, from inside Termux? Is it as secure as if I were using regular Linux on an x86 computer with a firewall running (or as regular Android)?

Thank you.

how to disable share popup when yanking/cutting/deleting text in neovim?

Basically if you use neovim and yank text or use any of the deletion motions a popup appears from Android with a share button to share the cut text. Is there any way to disable this behavior?
