Coo! Yeah im building a couple of sites on phones too. Turns out its suuuuper cheap compared to trying to get all the parts together (even a pi).

Agreed! Especially if you have an old phone laying around collecting dust

Ill probably be stealing parts of your code for the python side at some point. I haven't decided if I want server side scripting at all on my dinky phone. Mostly because of power requirements. But I may!

What are you running on? Mine is a pixel 6a, cracked screen :). Worth 20$ online from what im seeing haha.

Ill try. Im still ordering all the parts (solar panel, maybe 3d print?). The phone is actually, in many ways, the easiest to work with. Its also sorta strange. With termux, the best I can describe is that its UNIX based and then you can get the tools you are used to to make it truly gnu/linux. I had to put a plethora of tools to make it useful.

Ill be adding more in the coming weeks. https://solar.chrisco.me/

Termux is the shitty Linux on Android emulation Tmux is the not shitty terminal multiplexer (AKA "make this thing still run even though I'll disconnect soon")

I've made a cleaned up version found here

Improvements

  • prompt for admin password on boot

  • admin panel that allows control for deleting posts (finiky but functional)

  • pages: 15 posts per page now...this greatly reduces load on server.

  • basic sorting functions

  • cleaned up creating posts and new 'torums' so the home page isn't so messy.

You reached the end

I present: Torum! A crappy yet functional bearbones selfhosted forum site for termux. | Spyke
