Jim Mason : fabric update. - working from an Android Phone on Hyperledger

Option 1 - Use VNC client for Android and connect to an Ubuntu server

or the free option

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.androidVNC&hl=en

The server can be a local system, in your network or in the cloud

Pros:

1. Simple to install and configure to any VNC server
2. Works without changing your phone configuration, data or encryption

Cons:

1. You need a VNC Connect account at RealVNC or use the optional VNC viewer above
2. You need an Internet connection to access your remote server

Option 2 - Install Ubuntu server on your Android phone

Install Ubuntu server on your Android device

Pros:

1. No cost - just suggested donation
2. Full Ubuntu server runs anything on your phone ( including Hyperledger Fabric in theory )

Cons:

1. Many - root the phone
2. Complex install and support
3. May require phone factory reset deleting apps, data and encryption
4. Requires VNC server and client running to access Ubuntu desktop
5. Requires high-end Android phone on new version of Android ( at least 8 GB memory )
6. The Linux installer may be billable depending on which installer you choose
7. No guarantees on the stability of Linux on Android

In my case, I run Ubuntu in Oracle VirtualBox on a Windows 10 PC fine.

I allocate 6 GB memory to Ubuntu and that is more than enough to run Hyperledger Fabric in a developer environment
