I can easily ssh into my Pine64 running Ubuntu, but I'm going around in circles trying to figure out how to do it under Android.
Is there a HOWTO anywhere?
Being able to ssh into Android is contrary to the design principles of Android.
... that said, it has always been possible to ssh into an Android phone; first by rooting it, and second by placing an sshd (ssh daemon) on the device like dropbear, or similar. Android was designed to have a locked-down linux kernel, and a java virtual machine layer over that (Dalvik) to run apps. It was not designed to work like a standard gnu+linux computer (although with rooting, dropbear, and busybox it can be made to work like any other gnu+linux device).
I would recommend you experiment with the rooted android image; then check out 'dropbear' and 'busybox'.
There are many on-line resources available to help in this area, and there is a huge droid community to help as well.
