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.

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.
