  This was one of the things I wanted to do at some point, someone beat me to it.

  A long time ago I was going to try to get lemmy running on a phone, but the phone I used wasn't appropriate for running a container with systemd and network server access, so I put it on the backburner until I got another phone for it, but it's never really come up since.

  Using phone is dangerous as server because of battery

    In the video he explains how he removed the battery and made a direct power connection.

    Can serve as emergency power though. Something you would have to add anyway with a serious setup.

      But not good long term. A lithium ion battery being constantly drained and charged to 100% will keep the temperature high and wear it out more quickly and the more worn a lithium ion battery is, the more likely it will catch fire or explode.

  I don’t want a video about a broken server
