Introduction

Android is a Linux subsystem. We're going to using OpenSSH to start by generating encryption keys. I am creating an interface to integrate our Automation Server and our target (android/linux/armv8) into the network. This new network created and isolated from the internet allows the two devices to exchange secrets. So I retrieve the public encryption key from my smartphone and send it to the Server. I generate a password for my termux user using the termux-auth packet, I try to connect using ssh, ... SUCCESS

Open ssh server

sshd #running on port 8022

Complete inventory.yml

Configure SSH on Termux (Android):

1. generate ssh key:

ssh-keygen -o -t rsa -C "your@email.com" # replace by your email
# Two files are generated: your private key (your_key) and your public key (your_key.pub). By default, these keys are typically stored in the following location: ~/.ssh, unless you specify a different path.

2. active ssh:

eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add your_key # add private key

2. cat pubkey:

cat $(pwd)/your_key.pub
# Copy pub key. You will need to add the public key to the Git server (Gitlab, Github, Bitbucket, ...)
# Gitlab: Home > navbar on the left > your user icon in top-right > Preference > SSH Keys

3. generate a password to connect on ssh via termux-auth

passwd # tap your password

On ure automation server

ssh-copy-id -p 8022 anyuser@your_android_ip
# You can now run ansible whenever you want

Run Ansible Script
