Hi, I have a xiaomi mi a3 that I don't use and I'm wondering if it is possible to use it for selfhosting. (piped, nextcloud...)

FTFY (formatting)

Until one week ago I was using an old Samsung S20 with good results. I moved to a mini PC as I wanted to host Immich server and I felt it was too much for the phone (it might not be the case though...)

A quick extract from an old post of mine on what I was running:
https://lemmy.world/comment/354199

Software:

  • Termux (android app)
  • SSH (OpenSSH in Termux)
  • Rclone (in Termux)
  • Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro)
  • Transmission (in proot-distro)
  • Kavitha (in proot-distro)
  • Podgrab (in proot-distro)
  • Ombi (in proot-distro)
  • ntfy (in proot-distro)
  • Filebrowser (in proot-distro)
  • Vaultwarden (in proot-distro)
  • Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)

TLDR: Go for it! Use Termux with proot-distro to avoid headaches
