web sites are not actually inside their devices

Proceeds to:

  • install Termux onto Android phone
  • mirror simple websites with wget
  • serve them with NGINX
  • install kiwix-serve and serve the entire English wikipedia
  • install Navidrome music server
  • set up port forwarding or use cloudflared (or just stay on LAN)

Under proot I was also able to run Jellyfin server, and someone else also did Nextcloud and at some point a public BBS.

But oh well, soon Google will block unauthorized apps because I probably just purchased a license to use the phone, as opposed to actually buying the device.

As for why, it's just a battery-powered computer, so why not. And by the way, Navidrome in Termux is probably as easy as it gets anywhere, since it's in the repo. No docker or installing a .deb, just apt install navidrome.
