I have used Termux to achieve all this, its Terminal Emulator that can provide you Linux Environment in your Android, but it can't offer a root environment unless you root your Android.
I won't recommend rooting either it may brick your phone or make it more vulnerable.
I have tunneled the server to serveo.net to make the server available in public all over the world
