I'm trying to repurpose my Pixel 6a that I no longer use, as a Home Assistant Core main driver. I was hoping the author will talk a little bit about that.
I still haven't had the luck to have a fully working Home Assistant running inside (rooted) Termux.
Anyone succeeded to start `hass` and have it running without throwing errors?
If you have root, it is fairly trivial to run full-on arm64 Linux distro in chroot. That should fix most problems with linux software running in android.
There is also Linux Deploy[1] that automates the process of setting up chroot, ssh and even gui desktop (through framebuffer).

Hey maybe I didn't get ya but by home assistant core main driver, do you mean the linux application of this as in cli / terminal right?
what are your thoughts on something like https://userland.tech/download/ which can just straight up boot up into any distro that you might need (you can use something like alpine/debian/archlinux)
they are open source too btw
and also I tried and if you have a server running, then there are ways to make it so that those web servers can be accessed from outside out of the box as well so there is nothing to worry about that either.
It doesn't require root either, I run it on an unrooted phone!
