README.md

Android / Termux Deployment

Run the eSIM provisioning server on an Android device using Termux (no root required for basic operation).

Prerequisites

  • Android 9 or later
  • Termux installed from F-Droid (not the Play Store version — it is outdated)
  • Optional: Termux:Boot (F-Droid) for automatic start on reboot
  • 5G-capable device with a pre-provisioned SIM for gNB backhaul

Install

# In Termux, from the repo root:
bash android/termux_setup.sh

The script will:

  1. Update Termux packages
  2. Install Python, nginx, and required libraries
  3. Deploy the server files to ~/esim-provisioning/
  4. Write a localised config.yaml
  5. Configure nginx on port 8080
  6. Initialise the SQLite database

Start the Server

~/esim-provisioning/start.sh

WiFi Hotspot

  1. Go to Settings → Network → Hotspot & Tethering → WiFi Hotspot
  2. Set a name (e.g. Emergency-5G) and remove the password (open network)
  3. Enable the hotspot

Clients connect to the hotspot, then navigate to:

http://192.168.43.1:8080/activate

Most Android devices use 192.168.43.1 as the hotspot gateway. Samsung and Pixel devices may differ — check with ip route in Termux and update config.yaml accordingly.

Captive Portal Limitation

Without root, full DNS hijacking is not possible. Clients will not be automatically redirected — they must open the URL manually or scan a QR code posted at the deployment site.

With root + Termux, install dnsmasq via pkg install dnsmasq and add:

address=/#/192.168.43.1

to /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/dnsmasq.conf, then run dnsmasq.

Configuration

Edit ~/esim-provisioning/config.yaml to set your MCC, MNC, and OP key, then restart:

pkill -f server.app
CONFIG_PATH=~/esim-provisioning/config.yaml python -m server.app &

Auto-Start on Reboot (Termux:Boot)

Install Termux:Boot from F-Droid. The setup script copies start.sh to ~/.termux/boot/ automatically. Open Termux:Boot once to enable it.
