Installing Fedora on Termux

Termux is awesome, but it has more limitations than a whole GNU/Linux distribution running in proot.

Fedora is a stable and complete distribution, and you can install it above Termux by running the following command:

pkg install wget openssl-tool proot tar -y && hash -r && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXALAB/AnLinux-Resources/master/Scripts/Installer/Fedora/fedora.sh && bash fedora.sh

Then, run the following command:

echo "bash start-fedora.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

This way, every time you start Termux, a new session of Fedora will be started.

Setting up Fedora on Termux

Let's install some packages:

dnf -y install vim wget git rustc cargo python3 npm nodejs openssl curl fzf zoxide xsel

Now, I need to customize my Fedora by importing my configs from a dedicated repository.

Before doing that, I want to have access to my GitLab account from my Android device via the SSH server.

Let's create a new SSH key:

ssh-keygen && cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Then, I need to add the public key to my GitLab account.

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub && cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Then, from my GitLab account's profile, I can add the SSH key to my account.

Now I can clone my dotfiles' repository via SSH method:

git clone git@gitlab.com:fatualux/dotfiles.git

And replace the default configs with my customized ones.

cp -r dotfiles/.* . && rm -rf dotfiles
