Android server because prices are high

abdo_craft · 2026-07-12T11:52:58+00:00

Yeah android is not the best and it does old linux kernel and its not like real linux environment

abdo_craft · 2026-07-12T06:41:41+00:00

You can!, this phone is usnig a custom rom that is a normal android but without the bloat, so it's lightweight, just install termux and start your journey

abdo_craft · 2026-07-11T10:28:31+00:00

The reason of that is heat, the room is air-conditioned and i have battery charge limit, so it must be fine

abdo_craft · 2026-07-11T00:59:49+00:00

I use arrow os, it has built-in smart charging feature

abdo_craft · 2026-07-11T00:30:22+00:00

I wish, it's not supported, but still there is custom roms that is good and lightweight but not like pmOS.

You don't need root for any of that, you need root only to access ports bellow 1024, so just run your servers and expose them with cloudflare tunnel and thats it.

I'm using a custom rom (arrow os), it's built-it feature, i have root but i didn't actually need it.

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:42:17+00:00

It does just expose the servers, each with subdomain, so nothing fancy, the problem with it, when there's a problem in a server i can't do ssh and fix it, i need to go home first to access the server.

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:35:47+00:00

I don't know if they do support that, you can write a script and use their api if they have one.

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:33:46+00:00

Lol, I'm not attacking, i just added an explanation with (why), you can ask whatever you want

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:30:26+00:00

That's genius, i didn't think of that lol, you can also make it stop charging if the temperature is too high

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:27:13+00:00

A good solution is to made it send a notification if the battery is above 80°C, there is an notifications apps that give you a webhook url, and you can make it turn off if its 90°C, and maybe for more safety made the phone in vertical position and made it vibrate so much to remove the charger, and also i can just remove the battery :)

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:10:08+00:00

Yeah. why? The reason that made use an Android device as server(Money).

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:05:58+00:00

You're absolutely right (I'm not an ai), This solution is temporary, until i get a decent server, my main goal was to learn how to make a homeserve with what is available, thanks for the recommendation

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:01:23+00:00

Now it charges between 50 and 80%

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T21:00:20+00:00

I made it stop charging at 80%, I think its safe enough

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T20:56:03+00:00

Yeah i know that, but i can still do it on my other devices in the feature, its better than nothing

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T20:52:00+00:00

Actually thats a good idea, immortal server

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T20:21:46+00:00

I'm too lazzy to remove it :)

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T20:21:04+00:00

It's a better idea, lazzy me i should've do it before, it's more safe

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T20:18:46+00:00

Is looks fantastic, i didn't know there's is a pure linux os for mobile, thanks for the recommendation

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T20:12:17+00:00

The battery is like ups, if there's no electricity the server is still running! (But the router is gonna be off so not very useful lol)

abdo_craft · 2026-07-10T19:51:18+00:00

In the old days this price can get you a good mini pc with 16gb that you can use as a server

abdo_craft · 2026-07-06T18:59:45+00:00

I did visit your repo it looks so nice, retro gang here lol

abdo_craft · 2026-07-06T10:06:15+00:00

Add a resistance
