Powerful enough for using as a file server!?
-
Hello friends,
I used my Aquaris E4.5 until Ubuntu officially ends Ubuntu phone project then back to Android (using BQ Android ROM) before release of UBports.
After these years phone working just fine - a little slow but well - until the touch screen has been damaged
and I forced to change my phone - Nokia 2.2.I decided to install UBports on my old Aquaris E4.5 and just archive it in the original BQ box.
But I wondering in matter of CPU, RAM and the storage (64GB microSD card included) it's powerful enough to using it as a file server for my home network
e.g. SMB sharing or even Syncthing or even as a DNS server for Ad Blocking using hosts file?Right now, I can using the Camera and Notebook to record audio notes with help of Android's Accessibility Suite (Switch and Voice Access).
Thank you so much that give me your time :folded_hands:

It could definitely be used as a syncthing node. But as a file server I don't know... You'd have to get CIFS or NFS services working, and you would have to fight the OS to do that...

You can use it as a FTP-Server with WifiTransfer from openstore without big trouble. It should simply work.
For smb/nfs etc. there's no app, so you have to configure the OS to do this job. -

IMHO it would be better to replace the screen and keep the phone just as a spare phone than to try anything else with it

@nero355 One the PinePhone, you can run a Minecraft Server:

I run a CIFS server on my Redmi note 9s to transfer files between host and Waydroid and it uses 60-70mb of ram while transferring data highest was 120

@fakeshell I would build a Rasperri PI server in your case. Rasperri PI s are affordable, and to build a server with it is much more straightforward than with a phone.

Nextcloud Server on a Linux Phone!?

TechHut asked, is this (Pine) phone a raspberry pi with a built in screen? NexCloud runs easily on a Rasperri Pi. To run a Nextcloud on a (Ubports) Linux phone is a great idea. It eventually could make it easier to read and write files on a Ubports phone.
