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.

    On Android or postmarketOS? Very cool regardless!
