Android Self hosting
With the latest release of android it now supports some Linux functionality. I got docker installed simply by following Docker's docs.
Any thoughts or uses for a mobile homelab? What would be useful to have mobile?

The change maker feature would be to arrive home and plug your phone in a dock station and have a desktop to use as a pc
This has been supported on Samsung devices for years - it was first added to the Galaxy S8 (2017). It's called Samsung DeX. You can plug a phone or tablet into a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and it gives you a full screen experience.
They have docking stations, but you can also just use a USB C hub.
I've been talking about this for years! I got the idea from razer but I'm imagining the laptop chassis adds a nice screen, enormous battery, better IO, and then it just uses the touch screen as the track pad.
It could be so cool
I have a Steam Deck dock specifically for this. Except the mouse comes up on the phone screen instead of the monitor. Weird bug.
But then how would I look at my phone while using my Desktop.
I'll need a dummy phone to doom scroll on.
