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?

    my friends complaining that my plex server because I left my phone on the bus and it ran out of charge

    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.

      pi zero for streaming is insane not gonna lie. What sort of resolution do you stream it at?

      A decently newish phone would blow even a pi 5 out of the water I bet. Modern GPU drivers from snapdragon or mediatek plus core designs that arent 7 years old out of the factory would be a godsend for low-watt homelabbers

        Dang, I just realized I didn’t explain the setup well enough:

        An old laptop runs the Jellyfin server, but the Pi runs the reverse proxy. For some reason, trying to use the reverse proxied address causes problems, but connecting directly to the laptop via IP address and port runs fine.

        I tried a Jellyfin server with a pi 2 or 3 and it couldn’t serve more than one client at a time. So i imagine a zero wouldn’t even be able to load the app, much less serve anything :/

        My main reason for running my DNS/ad block/nginx through the zero, sometimes the laptop goes down, freezes, or fails to clear the transcodes folder, so having that stuff separate keeps at least part of the network running.

          Are you using DNS Rewrites for jellyfin? I am using that (via AdGuard Home) w/ my Reverse Proxy (Zoraxy) and most of the apps work outside of jellyfin. Wondering if I need to configure the domain in the compose/env file 🤔

    Maybe your own adblocker, I thought about doing that myself, I use the public one from adguard on my phone (dns.aguard-dns.com) but having it on your own device would be pretty slick perhaps. But thinking about it more, Google wouldn’t just let you use an internal IP for the private DNS. I have tried it with my locally hosted adblocker and it rejects it.

    Or you could set up a dashboard like Homepage or Dashy, or Flame or ? Ultimately, your imagination would do! :)

      Yea kinda. Android is switching to quarterly releases, so my phone now says “Android 15” but this was QPR2 specifically

      I dont know how you can stand using iOS. Its just so unintuitive, theres no back button and I can’t even figure out copy/paste.

        Copy paste is easy. You just tap on the, no wait you tap on the, fuck hold on. You tap, there we are, on the word and hold until it highlights. No wait hold on. Fuck. There we are. Ok now you tap on the highlighted word to copy, fuck wait Ah fuck it just type it again yourself

    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

    The change maker feature would be to arrive home and plug your phone in a dock station and have a desktop to use as a pc

      I’ve been talking about this for years! I got the idea from razer but I’m imagining the laptop chassis adds a nice screen, enormous battery, better IO, and then it just uses the touch screen as the track pad.

      It could be so cool

      But then how would I look at my phone while using my Desktop.

      I’ll need a dummy phone to doom scroll on.
