androot
Chroot and systemd-nspawn rootfs installer
Experimental
androot is experimental software and can lead to breakage!
Only run these scripts with extensive knowledge of Linux (and Android if using Termux)!
How to use
Termux
WARNING
If you want to use androot under Android you need a working Magisk or KernelSU installation.
If you wish to install a (more limited) Linux distribution without root access use Andronix instead. \

- curl
- bash
- chroot
- bsdtar
- tsu
Use
curl -sSL "https://git.staropensource.de/StarOpenSource/androot/raw/branch/master/androot.sh"|sudo bash - --download

How does this work?
tldr
We download & decompress a rootfs, apply some magic and make it useable with the help of chroot or systemd-nspawn.
The short answer
- check architecture
- ask for target architecture, execution architecture(s) and distribution
- download rootfs
- decompress rootfs
- mount rootfs
- install updates and bootscript dependencies
- apply patches (if using chroot)
- download bootscripts
- unmount rootfs
- finish and print information about how to "boot" the rootfs
The long answer
Just read the source code.
How to test
if shellcheck *.sh; then sudo env DIAG=true ./androot.sh --local; else echo ":: shellcheck failed, please resolve these errors"; fi
