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

The lines between mobile device and server get blurred even more.

Tbh a laptop is a "mobile" device

It's a server with integrated UPS and KVM console.

Except for that time I took out the battery because it was swollen and took the screen off to help with cooling. At least I still have my K and M

In all seriousness, I think a "mobile server" in laptop-like form would be pretty nice. Have a giant battery attached to the bottom and program the controller to run on AC as it's primary power source while treating the battery as a secondary source. Definitely niche, but cool nonetheless.

@towerful @baatliwala For real though, I use old laptops for self-hosting so that I never have to dig up a monitor & keyboard.
