Org-roam on Android

Benjamin Slade

I’ve been using the note-taking Zettelkasten-ish Org-roam system for a few months and it’s been very useful to me, just as a low-friction way of making more notes and easily finding and/or (re)discovering notes that I’ve made.

It’s pretty useful to be able to have access to these notes, and be able to quickly add notes, on mobile as well. I thought it might be useful to include here some notes on how to do, since (especially since v2 of Org-roam) there are some hurdles.

On Android/LineageOS install the F-Droid app store, and then from there install Termux. Open Termux and install four things we’ll need (strictly speaking you don’t need curl and ripgrep, but they’ll be useful): Emacs, sqlite, curl, and ripgrep via pkg install emacs sqlite curl ripgrep.

You can then open up Emacs via emacs and get started.

I include here a commented partial version of my ~/.emacs.d/init.el configuration file for my Termux/Emacs Org-roam setup:

;; BASIC SETUP:

An excellent way of keeping Org notes (and files more generally) in sync between desktop, laptop, and mobile devices is Syncthing. On Android I recommend using the Syncthing-Fork app (via F-Droid), which has various improvements over the default Syncthing app on Android, including better file-access features. (On iOS there is now a third-party solution for syncing via Syncthing: Möbius-Sync. I have no idea how to use Emacs/Org-mode on iOS though, but I recall hearing about some ways of running a Linux shell on iOS like iSH, so possibly there’s some way.)

I have Syncthing sync my Org files to a directory in my main “home” directory on Android Documents/Org and then in Termux created a Documents directory and inside of that directory created a symlink to my actual Org directory via ln -s storage/shared/Documents/Org Org. I’ve found that is easier for allowing Syncthing to have access to the files in order to keep them in sync. (And having my Org files live at ~/Documents/Org in Termux mimics the directory structure on my Linux boxes, which makes lots of things easier in terms of sharing configurations.)

I found it helpful to ssh into the Android phone to debug some stuff when setting it up. https://joeprevite.com/ssh-termux-from-computer/ Follow these steps: Open Termux on your Android phone Install OpenSSH: pkg upgrade pkg install openssh Set up a password: passwd Find your username by running this in Termux: whoami Save this value for later. Might look like u0_a254 Find the host by running this in Termux: ipconfig Look for something like inet addr:192.168.0.100 Save this value for later. Start the ssh server on Termux: sshd Verify that it’s running with: logcat -s ‘ssh:*’ You should see something like “Server listening on port 8022” On your computer, SSH into your machine on port 8022 (default port): ssh @ -p8022 Type in your password and viola! You’re accessing Termux from your computer.

Can’t thank enough for this! Ever since I upgraded to V2 of org-roam, my termux setup has been broken and for the life of me I haven’t been able to get it to work. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but copying in your init file has finally got me up and running!!! Also a good few tweaks I’ll be borrowing there too :) Thans again — Nathan
