NNCP on Android

To use NNCP[1] on Android[2], we need a way to build and run it. The easiest option for that is Termux[3].

1: /nncp/

2: /android/

3: /termux/

Begin by installing Termux. Then, install Go:

pkg install golang

Now, download NNCP. For instance:

curl -O https://nncp.mirrors.quux.org/download/nncp-8.7.0.tar.xz

Find more recent releases at the NNCP tarballs[4] page. Also, at this point it would be good to verify the signature and sha256sum.

4: https://nncp.mirrors.quux.org/Tarballs.html

Now, unpack it:

tar -xvf nncp-8.7.0.tar.xz

Now, compile and install:

cd nncp-8.7.0
PREFIX=$HOME/nncp ./contrib/do install

Now, NNCP is installed in $HOME/nncp. You may wish to add $HOME/nncp/bin to your $PATH.

Done!

Termux[5]

5: /termux/

Termux is a package that brings several things to Android[6]:

6: /android/

NNCP[7]

7: /nncp/

NNCP lets you securely send files, or request remote execution, between systems. It uses asynchronous communication[8], so the source and destination need never be online simultaneously. NNCP can route requests via intermediate devices -- other NNCP nodes, USB sticks, tapes, radios, phones, cloud services, whatever -- leading to a network that is highly resilient and flexible. NNCP makes it much easier to communicate with devices that lack Internet connectivity, or have poor Internet.
