[[https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid][Nix On Droid]] is a deployment of the [[https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/Nix][Nix Package Manager]] on [[https://android.com][Android]], in a single-click installable package. It does not require =root=, user namespace support, or disabling SELinux, but relies on =proot=. It has no relation to the Termux distribution.
The command ~nix-shell~ will build the dependencies of the specified derivation, but not the derivation itself. It will then start an interactive shell in which all environment variables defined by the derivation /path/ have been set to their corresponding values.

This is my [[https://samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-s10/buy/][Samsung Galaxy S10+]] running [[https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid][Nix On Droid]] with the experimental support for [[https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes][Flakes]] being used to manage the configuration.
Build and activate the configuration with ~nix-on-droid switch --flake .#android~. Currently this cannot be built with a pure flake because of hardcoded store paths for =proot=. Every evaluation will be executed with the =--impure= flag.
Modules are files combined by [[https://nixos.org/][NixOS]] to produce the full system configuration. Modules wre introduced to allow extending NixOS without modifying its source code. They also allow splitting up =configuration.nix=, making the system configuration easier to maintain and use.
