Android Self hosting

With the latest release of android it now supports some Linux functionality. I got docker installed simply by following Docker's docs.
Any thoughts or uses for a mobile homelab? What would be useful to have mobile?
Oh nice! I'd love to run an ad blocker/dns/reverse proxy on something with a little more beef than the Pi zero I've got now.
Jellyfin and or Pi zero does not like streaming through the video.local address I've got setup, so i have to use IP address to get anything without stuttering.

Just installed arch with chroot on my old rooted phone a week ago.
Seeing this is great because it means there's no need for complicated workarounds or even root access! Plus the distro runs natively and not with difficulties like with chroot

Impressive! Can you please link the instructions you followed?
Some time ago I was hosting the full ARR suite, bitwarden, AdGuard etc, but it was usually a mess with direct installs. With docker it might be worth revisiting it.
My only advice, buy a usb-ETH dongle, it will make a huge difference in stability

Debian is supposedly coming to android. That would be cool.
That's Debian in the screenshot

That's it lol. To turn on the terminal, it's a developer option for now, and is very alpha, just search for Linux in settings after turning on dev mode

The VM eats through the battery, that's the only hangup I have with this. Otherwise that's a fantastic idea.

I wish all the logs at my company were as beautiful as these terminal logs

Please no. I can't grep that. (Nor ingest it to splunk for more powerful searching.)

How do we activate this feature? I have it enabled after going into the developer settings menu but nothing seems to happen, I see mentions of an app but idk what the app is.
I am on grapheneOS though instead of normal android so there could be something with that here.Oh nvm I figured it out, it just took a bit for me to realize there was a new terminal app on my phone

If its an application I run locally, I rarely grep logs (they're small enough that I can just ctrl+f). If it's something running in production with millions of lines of logs, then I agree

If I trusted the battery tech more, I would use an old phone. But I've had one of those white plastic Mac books hooked up to power so long, the battery swelled out of its enclosure
Maybe there's a way to disconnect the battery, or an app that switches off charging, so it drains enough to keep that from happening

There are root apps that can limit battery charge level. If you have an older phone that's rootable, I would look into that.

Native in what sense? As I understand it that uses a VM of some sort

While this is very exciting, I just tried it, and the network connectivity seems to be broken. No IPv6.

Hmm I was messing with its networking. External vpns break stuff on GrapheneOS.
Its internal IP was 192.168.0.2, and my network is different. -

That’s super cool! I’ve been wanting to setup an offsite backup rig at my parents place and using an old phone to run it would be super ideal but I just don’t have any hardware that’s compatible with postmarketOS. Maybe one day ill bite the bullet and just buy a compatible used phone to do it with.

The host android system has IP address 192.168.0.1, and this network interface is called avf_tap_fixed (as seen from termux).
