peertube-android VS termux-packages

Cool, I hope they keep it "safe for play store review". I have had to run my own server in order to get the client[1] I wrote to pass play store reviews.

There are various attempts out there to build a mobile client: Thorium, P2Play, TubeLab, and NewPipe are the ones we know about, but they're all of varying quality and features. There has yet to be an "official" client, or a client really good enough to recommend to newbies.

Nice, I added your instance as a follow on troll.tv. ( will show in the default feed in the Thorium android app https://github.com/sschueller/peertube-android )

I understand, I have several open source android projects myself ( https://github.com/sschueller/peertube-android ). I just wanted to make you aware of the policy as Google can be a pain and up tight sometimes.

I made an android client specifically for peertube also open source: https://github.com/sschueller/peertube-android

Any help with development is very welcome as I have little time to invest at the moment.

Thorium an unofficial PeerTube client (version 1.5.0): a PeerTube player

Sadly I am quite sure my app [1] will eventually be removed from the play store as well if it ever becomes popular with the "wrong crowd". All it does is provide a way to connect to peertube (also fediverse like Mastodon) instances and watch videos. Which instanced you follow is up to you not me. Content is moderated by the peertube instance owners not me and I am not going to bother adding an instance blacklist for something I don't make any money from. Especially since you can reach any instance just using chrome.

Yes. Even without enabling root, you can install Termux[1] and have a full Linux cli environment with ssh.

> don't understand not more people want to access their DCIM folder via sshfs

I agree. I sync my camera folder with Syncthing[1], so as soon as I take a photo it is available on my laptop.

As usual don't forget that Android/Linux isn't GNU/Linux,

With this, I was able to cross compile lone for x86_64 from within the Termux environment of my aarch64 smartphone. All I had to do was obtain the Linux user space API headers for x86_64.

I made a Termux package request for multiplatform Linux UAPI headers specifically so I could cross compile lone but unfortunately it was rejected.

I wonder how far you could get with the git client in termux. I got vim running at one point.

Crystal can be installed with just pkg install crystal. If you have Docker, you could also clone the build environment and try building Crystal locally with scripts/run-docker.sh scripts/build-package.sh -I -a aarch64 crystal.
