Decentralized App Hosting on Android using Termux + Tor

Stackedge is a Termux-friendly app hosting system that allows you to run any web app (Node.js, PHP, Go, etc.) on your Android device.
Inspired by the desire to build something decentralized, privacy-focused, and open-source, Stackedge integrates Tor onion services to make your apps accessible anywhere safely.

Your apps start immediately, Tor bootstraps in the background, and you can manage them via a simple CLI (start, stop, restart, list, resurrect).

Features

- Run any app (Node.js, PHP, Go, Python…) from the folder you are in.

- Tor integration for onion services.

- Apps start immediately; Tor bootstraps in the background.

- Resilient to Wi-Fi drops or Termux restarts.

CLI commands similar to pm2:

- stackedge start --

- stackedge stop

- stackedge restart

- stackedge list

- stackedge resurrect

- Fallback command shows status and help.

Open-source and focused on privacy & decentralization.

cd stackedge
`


Install globally via npm:
`
npm install -g .
`

Make sure the CLI is executable:
`
chmod +x $HOME/.npm-global/bin/stackedge
`

Verify installation:
`
stackedge
`

You should see a status summary and available commands.

$3

Stackedge uses the following directory structure in Termux:
`
$HOME/.stackedge/
├── apps.json # Stores all app info
├── tor/
│ ├── torrc # Tor config
│ └── services/ # Onion services storage
└── logs/ # App logs
`

Stackedge automatically creates these directories on first run.

Usage

Navigate to the app folder and run:
`
cd ~/my-react-app
stackedge start blog -- npm start
`

- blog is the app name.

- Everything after -- is the command to start your app.

Tor starts in the background; your app starts immediately.

$3

Stop an app

To automatically restore apps when Termux opens:
`bash
echo 'if command -v stackedge >/dev/null; then stackedge resurrect >/dev/null 2>&1 & fi' >> ~/.bashrc
``

- Apps will start immediately.

- Tor will bootstrap in the background.

- No manual intervention needed.

- Project Philosophy

- Privacy-focused: Tor integration keeps your apps secure and accessible anonymously.

- Decentralized hosting on Android: Your device becomes your own server.

- Inspired by a love for Termux and building something great, this project is for developers, hackers, and privacy enthusiasts.
