Thanks very much! Expect more updates very soon!

That’s a great shout, I’ll make this as soon as I have some free time, I would love for all of us to leave something on that poor little server ;)

Cloudflare Tunnel. cloudflared is running directly on the phone, so I didn’t need to open any ports on my router.

Also, if you meant how I connected the phone to the internet, not the website — just Wi-Fi. :)

Yeah, it’s a fun experience, I’ll update you again soon!

Thank you everyone for commenting on this, I didn’t expect this much feedback!

I will go ahead and start this project with an old phone, not sure yet which phone, and I’ll document everything and give you an update soon!

Yeah, I think creating a custom script for it won’t be an issue, for example when battery hits 80% it stops charging, and resumes charging when it hits 40%

Thanks! I’ll check it out

I get that, using phones as servers is a pain because of cooling, but I was thinking maybe wire a fan to a custom made 3d printed rack, and also create a script for batteries, so the phones are not charging not stop.

Creating a cluster could help me self host more websites I create as I want to move away from using hosting services, I do have 2 mini pcs as servers right now, but they are kinda shit.
