Need xhost for opening GUI apps installed in proot-env from termux vnc

[octalfish]

I was looking for a way to open gimp installed inside an alpinelinux proot-env from inside termux's default vnc when i found this :

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot

(check the "Accessing graphical applications inside the chroot" part)

But for this "xhost" is required which i couldn't find in the x11 packages. So does it exist under any package? if not then i guess this is a package request.

Are you sure that xhost is needed ?
Do you getting some error or just "following tutorial" ?

[octalfish]

Pretty much just "following tutorial".

I will add a package, however it is not really necessary if you bind your home and tmp directories inside chroot.

[octalfish]

Thanks! Also, how would i bind my home and temp dirs inside chroot though?

Proot to be specific, i am running a non-rooted phone

proot has option -b. Use like -b $PREFIX/tmp:/tmp.

Closing as xhost is now available via package xorg-xhost.
If you decide to use xhost make sure that DISPLAY is set to 127.0.0.1:1 and vncserver is running with -listen tcp.

The proot command throws an error :

proot error: '/bin/sh' not found (root = /, cwd = /data/data/com.termux/files/home, $PATH=(null))
fatal error: see proot --help.

Your proot command is probably wrong.

I use something like

proot --link2symlink -b /dev:/dev -b /proc:/proc -b /sys:/sys -b $HOME:/root -b $PREFIX/tmp:/tmp -r ./alpine -w / -0 /bin/su -l

That worked, thanks
