Hey y’all, I was reading this self hosting user survey at selfh.st and noticed that some people said they self-host on a mobile phone.
I have an Android phone here I could use and I can picture setting up the phone and then just leaving it plugged in, in a corner somewhere. That seems like a good use for all that computing power but I’m not sure how to get started.
I found this article showing how we can use a phone for a web server:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/host-a-web-server-on-android
But is there any way to host other apps / services on a phone? Does it have to be rooted first?
Any pitfalls or other tips you can share when to doing this?
Thanks!
Check out servers ultimate on the app store. They have over 60 services that you can host.
