====== Android Micro-Servers ======

Two Android devices run the same Termux + Caddy + sshd setup as always-on LAN servers. No root needed.

^ Device ^ Hardware ^ LAN ^ Role ^
| retroid | Retroid Pocket 2S, ~3.5 GB RAM | ''192.168.1.82'' | LAN static server, also a retro-gaming handheld |
| tablet | Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 3rd Gen, 4 GB | ''192.168.1.83'' | LAN static server plus status dashboard |

===== The Services =====

  * **Termux** provides the Linux userland
  * **Caddy** serves ''~/www'' on '':8080'' (''file_server'')
  * **sshd** gives key-only shell access on '':8022''
  * **Termux:Boot** restarts the services after a reboot
  * cron regenerates a ''status.json''/''status.html'' dashboard every few hours

Both ports are non-standard because Android reserves low ports. Each device keeps a ''device/'' mirror of its Termux ''$HOME'' in the repo; a deploy script pushes edits over SSH.

===== Operating Them =====

  * Files: drop into ''~/www'' or rsync a local dir
  * Health: ''ssh <host> "ps -A | grep -E 'sshd|caddy'"'' or curl the status page
  * If sshd or Caddy is not running: Termux was removed from recents or the device rebooted without an unlock. Restart the services with adb: [[hosting:hardware:android_adb|Android ADB Control]]
  * What else the setup can run: [[hosting:hardware:termux_server|Termux Server Stack]]
