@darshpreets said in Running a Home Server on Ubuntu Touch – Feasibility & Experiences?:

Hi all,

Has anyone here successfully run a home server directly on Ubuntu Touch?
I’m curious about:

What kind of services you’ve managed to run (e.g., web server, file server, SSH, media streaming)

How stable the system is for 24/7 operation

Any limitations due to the read-only root filesystem or confinement

Recommended tools or packages to make it work

I’m considering using an older device as a lightweight home server and would love to hear real-world experiences or tips before I experiment.

Thanks!

It’s possible but with some caveats. SSH and small web servers work fine, but heavier services aren’t ideal since the system isn’t really designed for 24/7 loads. The read-only root means you’ll rely on Libertine or container setups to install extra packages. For long-term stability you’d be better off using a lightweight Linux distro on the same hardware if that’s an option.
