I noticed that without a SIM card, only on WIFI, the phone needed to be recharged not after 1 or 2 days, but only after 2 weeks! So this small device, plugged to a small solar panel, could be the perfect always-on personal web server. The site that you are browsing right now is hosted on it.</p> -<p><img src="https://dot.vertes.org/this-server/server.jpeg" alt="The server with its solar panel, and a cat"></p> +<p><img src="dot.server.org/this-server/this-server/server.jpeg" alt="The server with its solar panel, and a cat"></p> <h2> Hardware</h2> -<p>The phone is an entry-level Motorola G7 Play, purchased in 2019 for 120€ or so, worth nothing today. It was used by my son for less than 2 years, then dormant since. The display is slighly shattered, but it doesn't matter, as I use it headless.</p> -<p>I bought a small solar panel on Amazon, 10W produced by 2 plates of 17x17 cm. Cost: 28€.

The solar panel is just suspended vertically at a south window. The phone sits below, connected to the panel by a USB cable, in the shadow (do not put the phone directly under the sun, or closed without fresh air).</p> <h2> Software</h2> <p>The single purpose of this device is now to run a small standalone static web server. By using termux on top of Android, I can run a ssh server for remote access and Nginx, an efficient web server. I do not need to root the phone, as port redirection from my internet router compensate for the restriction of not using a port number below 1024.</p> @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ <h2> Operation</h2> <p>It's too early to say. Lets see how it goes over time (a few months), and if a relatively old phone can find a second life and be used as an autonomous web server, running solely on free photons and electrons.</p> <p>But for now, we are in june and the battery level is almost always at 100%.</p> -<hr>From: Marc Vertes, 20 june 2025]]> +<hr>From: Marc Vertes, 20 june 2025. <a href="dot.server.org/this-server/this-server/mailto:marc@vertes.org?subject=Re%3a%20dot.server.org%2fthis-server">Feedback</a>]]> </content:encoded> </item> </channel> |
