Answer 1

VSCode is already available in Termux. Note that you should have a good/stable internet connection while running instructions.

Inside Termux:

1. Install NodeJS.

pkg install nodejs

2. Install yarn

pkg install yarn

3. From the Termux NodeJS wiki, install

pkg install build-essential

pkg install python

4. Install code-server

yarn global add code-server

This will take a while. Be patient.

5. Run code-server or code-server & which will run code-server in background.

Per the output, the password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

6. Use Samsung Internet (Android app) or Chrome for Android to connect to 127.0.0.1:8080, enter password, and you should now have VSCode running on your device.

I found a better solution for it. I installed proot-distro, then install parrot distribution and then I used this curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh to install it and now it's working properly so following steps

apt update
apt install proot-distro nano
proot-distro install ubuntu-20.04
proot-distro login ubuntu-20.04

after doing this login into your ubuntu by typing proot-distro login ubuntu-20.04 and now copy this code and past it

curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
code-server

after installation run code-server when you will run it first time it will create ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml file so now close the server and use nano ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml to set the password for code-server

bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8080
auth: password
password: your-password
cert: none
