The bottom line is that yes, you can run a web server on your phone if you want to, but no, it's not going to work the same as running a web server on a stationary computer with a stable network connection.

But exactly that will be the benefit.
If ubports should be more then a system for nerds and some special interest groups, then it should have more than the other 2 OS'es.

Think bigger. Get out of your jail.
If it is not know available, OK, take your time, take what you need. But develop it in this direction.

Ubuntu Touch is not a traditional PC Linux distro running on a phone. It is an OS designed for phones/tablets, including with security, privacy, and power management features suited for such use.

YES, you would not belive, but i know this very well.
I dont need this questions: "why" bla blah ... because ... i had a lot of arguments, but here is not the place nor the time to discuss. Answer the question not your feeling.

If what you want is to use your phone like a traditional Linux distro, as essentially an expensive and less reliable Raspberry Pi server,

I have already try that. But it is not the same, to have a flat Hardware with webserver and working touchscreen in high res in your pocket as a "big" raspi, with power suply and cables and and and.
Also your comment is disappointing.
We have already 2 big player and some smaller ons (like ubport). If ubort does the same like all the others: Why someone should use it, or better question: Why some reseller should use it.
Does ubport not offering "Desktop" feeling with a remote monitor and Keyboard/mouse? So what?

If its not working at this time: OK, the developer needs maybe more time. But it will be a great enhancment for all the one's who can use the hole Office in one hand- incl. development and other needfull (desktop/CLI) software.

then you are probably going to be disappointed by Ubuntu Touch, and other distributions like postmarketOS or Mobian may be more what you are looking for.

Mobian is runnung on 2 pine Phones only ...
It's not an alternatie.

To get back on topic,

very well

can you be more specific on why termux is not fulfilling your need and what exactly you're looking for.

because it is also not a real system like the standard distros. It hasnt have a standard directory structure and a less of applikations available with the special paket format .
Maybe i can compile everything self, but who wants to do tihs work - for a webserer - from my view - an absolut standard deamon.
Also it is clearly slower then the CLI on ubport - on the same Hardware.

I don't think there is a magical solution to your problem, but we certainly can find something to help you out.

Its very nice, that you are trying so hard to help.
For Android problems, this forum isnt the right one.
It looks like, that Ubports - at this moment - are not far enought, to use it for my requirements.

I will use an raspi with all (negativs) around, but the raspi meets my requirement. it would have been nice, but not know.

Thx for your help/support/suggestion and this discussion.
Maybe in the near future again.

@bforpc
Please try to keep the conversation polite.

sorry, but it is nerving to hear always the questions, like ...why you want to do that ...
the most answer can be: because i want to do it, or,, because i will see, if it works ... or in my case: because i need a minimum transportable webserver and no additional hardware, cables, big cases, power supply and so on.

What is your goal ? You want to create an app using the webserver for something ? You just want to access your phone from your local network ? Do you intend to release it in the open store or is it a personal hack ?

I dont want to create an app. Where have you read this? I want to use a portable webserver (like described above).

Oh and BTW, convergence is about creating an ecosystem with apps that can change their UI depending on what is the easiest way to interact with them.
It's not relevant to your problem here.

Yes, no problem. But - if the system also can be "convergence" - it will be one thing more, what speaks for ubort.
