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?

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?

[–] Dust0741@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

The trick of retrofitting any battery powered device into a wired one is to remove the battery. No matter what, Li-ion batteries cannot sustain permanent power. Expensive adapters and new Androids can regulate power well, as can automations, but the best worry-free option is battery removal.

Edit: I've just remembered Fairphone, they're bossing the mobile repair ability front and have removable batteries like pre-2012. Could get one of those

In the past people used tasker to charge at a certain threshold. Check with homeassistant people to see what they do.
