Coolest Linux app you hosted from an Android device? (lemmy.world)

With talk of Android 16 having a Linux terminal, I'm curious what people have already hosted from Android with emulators like Termux or rooted terminal, and/or ideas of things that make sense (or would at least be cool) to run or host from a tablet or phone if/when it's officially supported.

Myself, I mostly got Grist to run on Termux. However, not everything worked when importing a project and I wasn't willing to rebuild mine from scratch. So I just kept it on the free cloud Grist has. Would've been cool to self host it though.

Edit to add: I bought a $35 Walmart tablet on a whim to try and host Grist on it and it was fun. I feel like there probably are some cool and resourceful/relevant things to be ran on a cheap tablet like that. Just not sure what they are lol.

That's awesome. What stuff did you host, and did any stick out as being particularly well suited for running on a tablet? By that I mean especially efficient for the hardware, or if any were well suited for localhost access from the tablet (e.g. having an web UI well suited for tablet use).

i just run normal stuff like immich and a dns server and use it as a headless server, though I do have a backup terminal on the touchscreen in case I need it (fbkeyboard).

I don't think it has any real benefits except the touchscreen, very low power consumption and the built-in battery, I just use it because it's free and interesting.

I guess compared to other devices like the rpi it has pretty good performance and resources, though one big drawback is that I have to use wifi for networking.

It's just the use I found for my old phone that was sitting in the cupboard doing nothing.
