Repurposing an old Android phone as a web server

Cool, I'll check it out. It is an extra hop, but my fdroid termux install has been blown away (along with my ssh key) several times by the play store version. So now I save my key on my pi instead. I did turn off updates from play store for termux so hopefully it doesn't overwrite termux again.

Termux does not update on the play store anymore since 2020 or 2021. In fact, your repositories are probably outdated

If you ever need to upgrade, you have to install from somewhere else, like F-droid

Thanks, I think actually it was something else that made me re-install from F-droid, but I'm glad I can rule out the play store.
