Main hassle for me is the special on screen keyboard plus the limited screen space. I may try a Bluetooth keyboard sometime. Also I'm a bit reluctant to have my servers' ssh credentials on my phone, but I have some thoughts about securing them.
I exclusively use keyfile auth, so I'm not too worried about having that on my phone to access my home server.
I am hesitant to have the key file on my phone without a separate 2fa device.
Why set up termux on your phone when you can just set up ssh server, and then ssh into your phone to set up the rest.
That might be worth thinking about. I'd have to configure my mom's firewall to allow it but that might be ok. It's some stupid Comcast router so I'll have to investigate. Thanks.
What do you mean by special on screen keyboard? I usually just zoom out the screen (making a pinching gesture with the fingers) and that works for me.
It doesn't use the regular android keyboard, it has its own that is harder to operate.
Mine uses the normal Android keyboard with an extra row of modifier keys (ie: Esc, Ctrl, etc) added by Termux above it that you often need in CLI.
Mine shows the standard keyboard bitmap, but swipe typing and predictive text don't work. I have to tap each character. It's tolerable for some things I guess. I should use it more.
