Use an old android phone to selfhost ?

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...)

If postmarket os works on that device maybe you can go full Linux (alpine), there will be no systemd which might be a problem and I am not even sure about docker compatibility. You can look it up though.

Postmarketos is a great project, but I couldn't get it to boot on my device.
