Running Phira multiplayer server on Android

Using a pre-built binary

1. Download and install ZeroTermux (Termux also works).
2. Run apt update && apt upgrade.
3. Copy the pre-built binary URL from Phira download site.
4. Run wget [url] to download.
5. Run ./phira-mp-server or RUST_LOG=debug ./phira-mp-server to start (second adds logging).
6. To use a custom port, add --port [port], e.g. RUST_LOG=debug ./phira-mp-server --port 11451.
7. For public access, set up port forwarding or a tunnel yourself.

Building the server yourself

1. Install ZeroTermux (or Termux).
2. Open ZeroTermux, accept the agreement, swipe from the left edge and tap the menu to switch source (e.g. Tsinghua mirror); press Enter for Y/I/N prompts several times.
3. Run pkg install rust.
4. Run pkg install pkg-config.
5. Run pkg install git.
6. Run git clone https://github.com/TeamFlos/phira-mp.git (use a proxy if needed).
7. Run chmod -c 755 phira-mp.
8. Run cd phira-mp.
9. Run cargo update.
10. Run cargo build --release -p phira-mp-server (or cargo run to run directly).
11. The binary will be in /data/data/.../phira-mp/target/release (path depends on Termux).

Restarting the server

• In ZeroTermux, go to the folder with phira-mp-server and run ./phira-mp-server. If you built from source, the binary is under phira-mp/target/release.

FAQ

1. If you see warning: spurious network error (3 tries remaining)... HTTP/2 stream... during build, try enabling a VPN and running the build again.
2. Build can take a long time; ensure a stable network.
