Usually, it's just for fun; sometimes there's a method to my madness. Over the weekend, I decided to try turning a phone that had been resting silently in a drawer into a server…specifically, a Linux server.That's right. I wanted to see what I could do with Apache and a few other bits and pieces. In the end, I wound up with a fun little website as a test, and now I'm going to show you how I did it.Also: I found a free Android app that makes deleting photos as easy as swiping leftIt starts with Termux.What is Termux?Termux is a free, open-source Linux terminal emulator that lets you run a Linux environment on Android. It's not exactly a 1:1, perfectly binary-compatible match (there are some permissions issues and a few other quirks that prevent it from behaving exactly like a true Linux distribution), but it's close enough.You can install Termux from the Google Play Store, but don't. The version available on the Play Store is out of date. Instead, you need to install F-Droid (download the APK from the F-Droid site and then sideload it), and then install Termux from within that app.Also: How I converted my Android phone into the perfect bedside clock - and why it makes senseOnce it's installed, you'll find yourself at a Linux terminal, where you can begin setting up your server.Installing the necessary packagesWhat you install will depend on what you want to serve up. Let me walk you through the process of getting an Apache server up and running along with a basic PHP-based website. pkg update pkg install openssh ifconfig passwd sshd ssh USER@IP:8022Where USER is your username, and IP is the Termux IP address. pkg install apache2 php php-fpm mariadb git wget apachectl start Create a siteAt this point, you can either start building a website from scratch or download a sample site, such as one of the ones I found from this collection of PHP sample sites. If you're going the PHP route, you'll need to start the PHP server with the command:php-fpmAlso: My favorite SSH clients for Android - and why you need themYou can download one of the sample sites into the Apache document root and test it out. To do that, change into the Apache document root with the command:cd /$PREFIX/share/apache2/default-site/htdocsYou can use git to clone one of the sample sites with:git clone https://github.com/amoldalwai/E-learning-Website.gitIf you're demoing the E-Learning site, rename it with the command:mv E-learning-Website learningPoint your web browser to http://IP:8080/learning/home.php (again, where IP is the IP address of your Termux server), and the site will appear.Also: How to run Android apps on Linux You now have a working website running on a spare Android phone. Get creative with it: There are all kinds of experiments you can do, such as installing a Nextcloud server, a database development server, a CMS, or even (if you want to get really complicated) a home automation server.
