running flarum on mobile

Ralkage

You can always take it upon yourself to create a webview app.

Just follow this tutorial:

Do you mean hosting it from your phone? Thats almost impossible. And not worth it at all.

Aww ok. Just wondered

I wouldn't recommend hosting anything from your mobile, but definitely look into options at getting your own hosting account and installing Flarum on there. If you're new to the whole website ownership scene then definitely have a read on the countless articles, walkthroughs and docs available pretty much anywhere. Everything and anything I know about the internet or what I do online was self-taught.

/me Looks at pile of S4 phones collecting dust. Ponders... If Flarum can run on a RPI, why not a cell phone?

If it can be done for Laravel ...

0E800 Nice!! ?

So far so good, I am testing on a Samsung S4 running Android 5.1.
I hope to be able to replace the dependency of MySQL with SQLite.

Instructions:

Download Termux https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux
Open Application (termux)

#Update Package manager
apt update
#Install PHP
apt install php
#Install Sqlite
apt install sqlite
#Install composer
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"

php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '669656bab3166a7aff8a7506b8cb2d1c292f042046c5a994c43155c0be6190fa0355160742ab2e1c88d40d5be660b410') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"

php composer-setup.php

php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

cp composer.phar composer

#Install Flarum
composer create-project flarum/flarum --stability=beta

Road Block:

termux/termux-packages255

Without those required php packages, I dont think I can continue. Not to mention without Nginx.

Possible solution to road block:
https://github.com/xiaoqidun/anmpp
Info, needs to be converted from Chinese.

Apparently it requires root permissions.
I'll test it on a rooted S4 as my S5 (phone in use now) stays unrooted for obvious security reasons.

0E800 try

--ignore-platform-reqs

On the create-project command to force installation without checking whether the dependencies are fulfilled ?

So I got https://github.com/xiaoqidun/anmpp to install on my rooted S4.
Problem is its all in Chinese.

Using APKTOOL I extracted (decompiled?) the anmpp.apk file and am currently going through the tedious process of editing res/values/strings.xml to translate all the Chinese to very poorly translated English.

This seems to be the only tool available for Android that supports mysql and php-fpm. I am hoping my time spent is not in vain; just to see if it can be done. ?

Update:
After replacing all the Chinese chars with English ones, and rebuilding the APK using Apktool, I learned I also needed to sign it first. Using sign.jar I was able to sign my APK and install it and voilà! English.

However I am unable to see if anything is working. Getting a permission denied error:
/data/data/xiaqidun.anmpp/files/anmpp: Permission denied: /system/bin/sh

Atleast I am making forward progress. ?

Hi,it said cannot stat

composer.phar

.I use Termux.

BlueWhaleYT this is a 2 years old thread. There's a good chance it's no longer working.

It's possible the file created by the Composer setup is no longer called composer.phar. Maybe it's simply called composer.
