Termux:Boot

Fredrik Fornwall

About this app

The Termux:Boot add-on provides functionality to run scripts in Termux when the device boots up. Note that this is an add-on that requires the base Termux app to be installed.

Usage:

- Start the Termux:Boot app once by clicking on its launcher icon. This allows the app to be run at boot.
- Create the ~/.config/termux/boot/ directory.
- Put scripts you want to execute inside the ~/.config/termux/boot/ directory.
- If there are multiple files, they will be executed in a sorted order.
- Note that you may want to run termux-wake-lock as first thing if you want to ensure that the device is prevented from sleeping.

Example:
To start an sshd server and prevent the device from sleeping at boot, create a file at ~/.config/termux/boot/start-sshd containing the single line:

sshd

Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app since it's initial release and can confirm it does what it says 'on the tin'. The only issue I have is that the termux-wait-lock does not seem to keep the tasks running permanently. I start sshd and a reverse tunnel ssh task on startup, these both cease overnight in spite of termux-wait-lock. Would be great if this issue could be fixed.. Edit: the issue is resolved.

Termux is a great program. But when I attempt "mkdir ~/.termux/boot", it just gives me a directory not found error. Where should the boot folder be located within the full Termux App environment? Should it be in the root com.termux? or the home or usr directory?

5 stars for actually having a functional on boot that works. 1 star for charging that much for it. Average..3 stars. Something to spend useless play dollars on.
