Termux Terminal

Use a real native Termux shell inside Obsidian on Android. Termux Terminal renders the terminal in an Obsidian tab while a local Rust bridge owns the PTY, shell, and process lifecycle.

Korean: README.ko.md

Requirements

  • Android Obsidian with Community plugins enabled
  • native Termux on aarch64
  • a hardware keyboard for the supported terminal workflow

The bridge is local to the device. It is not an SSH client, a remote shell server, or a code-server replacement.

Install

After the first GitHub Release is published, run this command in native Termux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Glaysia/termux-terminal/main/scripts/install-termux-bridge.sh | sh

The installer verifies the published checksum, installs the bridge as a Termux runit service, and prints a connection token once.

In Obsidian:

  1. Install Termux Terminal from Community plugins.
  2. Open its settings and paste the printed bridge token.
  3. Use the terminal ribbon icon or the Open terminal command.

Shell Startup

Each terminal tab starts a fresh interactive Bash session. Bridge-owned Bash sources ~/.obsidianrc only. It does not automatically source ~/.bashrc.

The installer creates a commented source ~/.bashrc line in .obsidianrc. Uncomment it only when the ordinary Bash setup is appropriate for terminals opened from Obsidian.

Security

  • The bridge listens on 127.0.0.1 only.
  • Every connection requires the installation token stored in ~/.termux_terminal_token with mode 0600.
  • Tokens expire after six months; the shell warns during the final seven days.
  • Terminal data, tokens, and shell output are not recorded by default.
  • Any network forwarding is configured and secured by the user. The plugin never changes the loopback-only bridge binding.

Operation

Check the native service from Termux:

SVDIR="$PREFIX/var/service" sv status termux-terminal-bridge

Restart it after updating the bridge:

SVDIR="$PREFIX/var/service" sv restart termux-terminal-bridge

Development

Read CONTRIBUTING.md for branch and validation rules. Release notes are in CHANGELOG.md. Security reports are handled under SECURITY.md.
