Description

Is it possible to let user configure copyparty with nix on nix-on-droid, so user can launch it easily with the config file, maybe using a wrapper?

If it is possible to configure it with nix, can it be configured to run as a service like this? (but I think this part is hard because nix-on-droid does not have systemd)

Research direction
Investigate how nix on droid can be used to configure and run copyparty. Refer to the linked PR (nix community/nix on droid#203) for service wrapping example. Explore existing nix expressions for copyparty, if any, and propose a nix module or overlay for nix on droid.
