Hi, I have a xiaomi mi a3 that I don’t use and I’m wondering if it is possible to use it for selfhosting. (piped, nextcloud…)

thats a server baby
Termux has nginx, postgres, python and plenty of stuff compiled to ARM so I bet you can. You would have to be wary of non standard ports unless you have root access and make sure android does not kill or puts to sleep termux by adding exceptions to the app.
I remember running a few low traffic Mastodon bots in a S3 Mini years ago and it was decent.
Reading this post on my mi A3 right now :D
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

Tried to host a pihole with distrobix some time ago, eventually it just stopped responding sadly. I want a debian server that I can ssh into, it’s the bare minimum to host stuff IMO. Tmux is great, but I use it as a client, not a server.
Best case would be to trash the whole android os and somehow get a real Linux distro running headless (I know android is technically Linux, but it does not count)
isnt the supported kernel a critical question for most android phones?
Not Sure. But it doesn’t mean anything when is I can’t get a proper distro to boot.
yes actually this is what I mean. although android is linux, any distro wont run on the device
would gentoo be an option as everything is compilled?
Postmarketos seems like the best distro for that kind of thing, you compile your kernel yourself too for that distro.
Should work, tho I doubt it’s much more performant than a pi, so your ideas might be too heavy for it.
