A Termux add-on app to run programs at boot.

When developing (or packaging), note that this app needs to be signed with the same key as the main Termux app in order to have the permission to execute scripts.

Termux:Boot application can be obtained from F-Droid.

Additionally we provide per-commit debug builds for those who want to try out the latest features or test their pull request. This build can be obtained from one of the workflow runs listed on Github Actions page.

Signature keys of all offered builds are different. Before you switch the installation source, you will have to uninstall the Termux application and all currently installed plugins. Check https://github.com/termux/termux-app#Installation for more info.

1. Install the Termux:Boot app.
2. Start the Termux:Boot app once by clicking on its launcher icon. This allows the app to be run at boot.
3. Create the ~/.termux/boot/ directory.
4. Put scripts you want to execute inside the ~/.termux/boot/ directory. If there are multiple files, they will be executed in a sorted order.
5. 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.

To start an sshd server and prevent the device from sleeping at boot, create the following file at ~/.termux/boot/start-sshd:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh
termux-wake-lock
sshd

To start termux-services, which in turn starts enabled services, you can put the following in ~/.termux/boot/start-services:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh
termux-wake-lock
source /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/profile.d/start-services.sh
