Do You Use Your Phone As A Server?

5 days ago by ptt to c/asklemmy

I have a rooted redmi note 11 pro 4g with unofficial lineageos installed. It is my personal device. But I barely use it. If someone calls I pick up, that's about it. The phone is completely clean too, no trace of whatsapp or anything like that. The most bloated app on the phone is brave. Like I said, squeaky clean. Now I want to turn this into a machine using plain termux or chroot to run piefed, gotosocial and stuff, and host my blog page, but I am undecided. Since it's rooted, I thought I could set up something that starts charging at 45% and cuts off at 75%. What do you think I should do?

The main question is in the title. If you run a server on your own device, what do you host on it?

Back when rooting was all the rage I tinkered with hosting various services. It just didn't make much sense for such an underpowered device, amongst other reasons (battery swelling).

I did use an old phone to "host" a game automation. One of those "idle clicker" / RPG games since I'm so lazy. After about 2 months the battery swelled and popped the back cover off. That was the end to that idea..

This may be due to consistently 100% capacity, high voltage, and high temperature.
