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?

    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! :)

    Just installed arch with chroot on my old rooted phone.

    Seeing this is great because it means there’s no need to complicated workarounds or even root access! Plus the distro runs natively and not with difficulties like with chroor :D

        You’re right actually it’s not native I don’t know what I’m on about 😅 Still it’s much easier to have a baked in terminal app than having to install proot on top of termux, hopefully it will have less of a performance impact than proot as well.

    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

        I just checked, and I have connectivity while on cellular. Maybe (just wild speculation) your mobile network is IPv6-only? Android (not Linux) should list 192.0.0.4 as an IP address in that case.

          It’s probably that. While on cellular my IP isn’t 192.0.0.4 (but it is in 10. space), but there’s probably some v6 somewhere in the way.

      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.

        Any other tips for the VM and/or GrapheneOS compatibility? Ie: did you use a different profile? I run Debian throughout my house as is, but plan on integrating the VM for better integration but was a little hesitant to be an early adopter due to the potential nuances. (lemme know if you have a blog/gist/etc covering it too)

          I used the owner profile. Idk much about it tbh, I have yet to do more in depth testing as my phone doesn’t have displayport functionality so I am a little discouraged to be an early adopter too. I couldn’t get SSH setup so typing a lot on the small keyboard wasn’t ideal.

          I’d check Google/GOS docs for more info for now. I’ll bet there’ll be a lot in the coming years as fast as usecases

    What is the current wisdom about having an android device always plugged in? Some people say that it will kill and pillow the battery, but does it really?

      I don’t know. I think they are pretty good at managing battery, and have a new setting for maxing it out at 80% charge, but I don’t think I’d put it near anything expensive for years on end.

    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

    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.

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