ServerBox 1.1 brings coding agents to the Apps tab and makes the terminal easier to use on a phone.

What's new

  • Claude Code and Codex. A new Coding agent section in the Apps tab sets up either agent in its own filesystem: Debian with the agent, Node.js, git and ripgrep. A first-login message says how to sign in and update. The images are 64-bit only (arm64 and x86_64).
  • Tap a link to open it. Tapping an http(s) URL in the terminal opens it in the browser, and a long press selects the whole URL, including URLs that wrap across lines.
  • Bigger extra keys. The extra-keys row is now two rows of six larger keys, with the arrows as an inverted T.
  • Android 16. ServerBox targets API 36, with edge-to-edge layout and predictive back.

Fixes

  • The terminal toolbar no longer clips the session's title.
  • The setup log no longer shows the list behind it.

Download

The first release of ServerBox: turn a used Android phone into a Linux server, no root required.

Highlights

  • Linux distributions without root. Alpine, Arch, Debian, Kali and Ubuntu run as headless server images through PRoot, or in a real VM through the companion app on phones with the Android Virtualization Framework.
  • SSH out of the box. Every session runs an SSH server on port 2022; the Sessions tab shows the command, user and password. Turn on Settings → Allow SSH from the network to connect from other devices, with optional key-only login.
  • Stays up. Servers keep running with the screen off and after the app is closed, restart if they die, and can start again after a reboot.
  • Your services start with it. Executables in /etc/serverbox/autostart.d run each time the server starts.
  • Phone storage is available at /sdcard inside the distribution.
  • Faster registry mirrors for users in China, and a terminal-style log of filesystem setup.

Upgrading from a pre-release build

  • ServerBox is now SSH-only: VNC and the graphical desktop images are gone. Sessions saved as VNC open over SSH, and desktop-only apps are removed from the Apps list.
  • The old default user userland is renamed to serverbox, keeping its home directory, files, SSH keys and password.
  • This release is signed with the release key below. Builds from before 1.0 were debug-signed, so Android can't update them in place: uninstall the old build first. Uninstalling deletes its filesystems and sessions.

Download

serverbox-1.0.apk: Android 8.0 or later; arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86 and x86_64.

  • Version 1.0 (version code 2026092700)
  • APK SHA-256: eaef6d266418c3883c60703268c65f4f4bb9d74602aed35eab4a7a26639213e6
