I have got a android device running 4.1.2 and I wanted to use it as a Node-Red server and for that i rooted it and installed GNURoot Debian and now that I ran the commands the nodejs version is not updated enough for the installation and apt update says its all done. I don't know where to report the issue and ask for help so I am posting it here. Please help.
Hi, I've never heard of that, but seeing as its Debian based did you try our Pi install script from our docs ? That is also Debian based so may work.
You don't need to root an android device to run node-red. You can install termux to get a terminal and apt install node and npm install node-red. I'm sure there are other ways too.

According to this you don't need to root it for GNUroot Debian either
See here how to install in not-rooted Android (Top box):
https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/12edrt1/android_11_iot_server_termux_lamp_nodered_with/
At end you will get on your top box:
- FTP <top-box-IP>:8021
- Apache v. 8.1 <top-box-IP>:8080
- MariaDB v. 2:10.9 <top-box-IP>:3306
- PHP v. 8.1
- PHPMyAdmin v. 5.1.3 <top-box-IP>:8080\phpmyadmin
- node-red v. 3.0.2 <top-box-IP>:2022
with node-red autostart for unattended 24/7 server.
I hope that this information can be helpful to someone.
