Does anyone have any experience setting up an old smartphone as a low-spec home server? Since it's basically a whole linux machine I already have sitting dead in a drawer. Not gonna do any big beefy media servers or anything, just want something to play around with. I was wondering if there are any weird caveats or speedbumps involved.

Zapf Dingbat posted:Does that actually work? I was gonna give it a try and tell the thread... but step two is "rebuild the kernel for your phone with certain features turned on" and in the process of following Sony's instructions to build their xperia kernel I got to a step that said "btw you better have 400gb of hard disk space free during the build process". I don't quite feel like deleting a whole buncha stuff off my desktop to make room.

Aware posted:Frankly unless you're somewhat familiar with most of the steps in the guide you're probably going to hit showstoppers that aren't worth the time to work out how to get past. Just by a raspberry pi and be done with it. Bah, where's the fun in that? And yeah I do have some experience in code-touching, just not kernel stuff. Looking around stackoverflow and reddit it seems some people have an "easier" route that involves just running an alpine linux vm, either through qemu on termux or via apps that run a VM directly directly like alpine-term or NeoTTY. Although I expect the performance in a VM would be noticeably worse and I probably wouldn't be able to do much more than an IRC bouncer or, like, tt-rss server on there.
