This project contains scripts to configure Termux for dev(ops) purposes. It allows me and you to setup Termux in a repeatable way.

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required.

Ansible is an open-source software provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment tool. It runs on many Unix-like systems, and can configure both Unix-like systems as well as Microsoft Windows. It includes its own YAML based declarative language to describe system configuration.

I created a script that installs Ansible and all it's necessary dependencies on Termux. If you just install python and then try to install ansible with the Python package manager pip, you will run into several dependency errors. It will allow you to use Ansible with remote hosts. I have not tested it on localhost aka Termux itself yet!

The script does the following:

1. Update dependencies that are needed to compile some of the dependencies of Ansible using pkg.
2. Update pip
3. Update other Python packages using pip
4. Install pynacl with pip
5. install ansible with pip

You can run this script as follows.

> pkg install wget
> wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nicenemo/termux-setup/master/termux-install-ansible.sh
> sh termux-install-ansible.sh

To be determined. I am not certain yet whether I want to do this with Ansible or just a bunch of pkg install ... or apt install ... commands. By default apt is not available. After running the script for ansible, apt is available. So I should be able to use Ansible.
