Hi, I have a xiaomi mi a3 that I don’t use and I’m wondering if it is possible to use it for selfhosting. (piped, nextcloud…)

Until one week ago I was using an old Samsung A20 with good results. I moved to a mini PC as I wanted to host Immich server and I felt it was too much for the phone (it might not be the case though…)

A quick extract from an old post of mine on what I was running: https://lemmy.world/comment/354199

Software: Termux (android app) SSH (OpenSSH in Termux) Rclone (in Termux) Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro) Transmission (in proot-distro) Kavitha (in proot-distro) Podgrab (in proot-distro) Ombi (in proot-distro) ntfy (in proot-distro) Filebrowser (in proot-distro) Vaultwarden (in proot-distro) Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)

TLDR: Go for it! Use Termux with proot-distro to avoid headaches

Thanks a lot! Much better :)

google for the things you want to host and append “termux” to it, e.g.:

  • nextcloud on termux
  • piped on termux

Thanks to your comment I gave termux another try and finally figured out what I was doing wrong (pgk updates never working). DO NOT install termux from the Play Store, use FDROID. If you use the play store version you have an old and outdated version with old and broken package repos.

But if it does not getting any updates, it is a bit risky… Find a custom which gets security updates and then do whatever they say in other comments.

thats a server baby

If postmarket os works on that device maybe you can go full Linux (alpine), there will be no systemd which might be a problem and I am not even sure about docker compatibility. You can look it up though.

Ubuntu touch supports it decently
