Starting emby server in proot Linux (Termux / Andronix)


Recommended Posts

Posted

 On my Android device I have Termux and Andronix as a Linux (Debian / Ubuntu) subsyste, which is actually prooted in the Termux app. Most ARM64 Linux apps do work, even services like Apache, MySQL or SSH.
So I tried to install emby server (because the native Android emby server does not allow playing media, which I also mentioned on this forum) within the Termux environment.

In Termux:

dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.4.3.0_arm64.deb

issued an error that the architecture is not correct. Weird, because Termux is a fully 64 bits arm64.
Then I tried it in the Andronix (which is actually a layer in Termux with its own fake root) and allows installing packages.

dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.4.3.0_arm64.deb

which almost succeeded with the error

System has not been booted with systemd as init system

which I can understand on a proot system, but how can I start the server manually just as I start the Apache or MySQL service in a prooted Linux.
Executing 'emby-server' from a terminal (as root within the environment) issues an error despite having the attributes '-rwxr-xr-x'.

Is there a way I can start emby-server without systemd or systemctl, like Apache / MySQL does ?

Hi, currently no, we do require systemd.
