Description

Nix-on-Droid brings Nix package manager of NixOS fame to your mobile device. If you're not after its advanced features, you might still be interested in tapping into nixpkgs, a vast collection of precompiled software. At first start the app will download Nix repackaged for Android, leaving you with a barebones system afterwards. If you are an experienced Nix user, you know what to do next. If you are in doubt, follow the on-screen instructions, to install more of the familiar Linux software and declaratively manage your environment. ○ NOTE ● this software is alpha-quality. Users that value stability and Android integration over features and package selection might better be served with Termux as of now. Nix-on-Droid uses a fork of Termux application as a terminal emulator. Nix package manager on Android, in a single-click installable package. This is not full NixOS running inside Android, but you get easy access to nixpkgs' vast collection of (precompiled!) software and the best package manager under the sun. It's prototype-grade quality as of now, but hey, it works! It does not require root, user namespaces support or disabling SELinux, but it relies on proot and other hacks instead. It uses a fork of Termux-the-terminal-emulator app, but has no relation to Termux-the-distro. Please do not pester Termux folks about Nix-on-Droid.
