Get Root Access in Termux Without Rooting Your Device | RLC

📱🐧 How to Install RLC (Rootless Chroot) in Termux

Introduction

RLChroot (RLC) is a lightweight solution for running Linux distributions on Android without root access. It uses proot internally and provides an LXC-like workflow inspired by udocker, making container management simple and accessible on Android devices.

Supported Distributions

RLC currently supports selected Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, and Kali Linux. Only specific releases are compatible. Newer releases may contain bugs, and users are encouraged to report issues to the project repository.

Requirements

Unlike LXC/LXD, RLChroot does not require cgroups, VETH, seccomp, PAM modules, or kernel-level features. It relies entirely on proot. Because it uses host resources, some system-level operations are limited.

Installation

Follow the steps below to install RLChroot:

  1. Visit the GitHub repository:
    https://github.com/WMCB-Tech/rlchroot.git
  2. Download the provided .deb package.
  3. Install it using dpkg or apt. If dependency errors occur when using dpkg, fix them with: apt install -f

Available RLC Commands

RLC provides the following container management commands:

  • rlc-create – Create a new container
  • rlc-destroy – Remove an existing container
  • rlc-ls – List installed containers
  • rlc-launch – Start or run commands inside a container
  • rlc-import – Import containers
  • rlc-export – Export containers for backup or sharing

Planned commands include: rlc-snapshot, rlc-freeze, rlc-unfreeze, rlc-download, and rlc-info. Community contributions are welcome.

Creating Your First Container

Example: creating an Ubuntu 18.04 container

  1. Create the container: rlc-create bionic mycontainer
  2. For Kali Linux: rlc-create kali my-kali-container

Launch the container using: rlc-launch mycontainer
Run a specific command inside the container: rlc-launch mycontainer mycommand

List installed containers: rlc-ls

Running Containers as Non-Root

Containers include sudo support by default. To run a container as a non-root user: 

rlc-launch mycontainer su - user

Run a single command as a specific user: 

rlc-launch mycontainer sudo -i -u user mycommand

Adding Users

Add users inside a container using standard Linux commands: useradd or adduser

Destroying a Container

To permanently remove a container: rlc-destroy mycontainer
You will be asked to confirm before deletion.

Limitations

  • Uses proot, so kernel-level features such as device nodes, mounts, and system services are unavailable.
  • No full namespace isolation, limited cgroup support, no seccomp, and no Virtio interface.

Despite these limitations, RLChroot is a powerful and convenient way to run Linux distributions on Android without root access.
