Update: I turned my old Motorola E5 Play into an actual WordPress server We did it boys! Battery is no more: lemmy.zip/post/72181546 This post is a follow-up to my original post: lemmy.zip/post/71885626 Surprisingly, it wasn’t that tough to set up. My original plan was to install postmarketOS and turn the phone into a proper tiny Linux server. Unfortunately, my Moto E5 Play is the pettyl variant, while the available postmarketOS port is for james. I decided that turning the phone into a brick probably wasn’t an essential part of the project. So I went with Termux instead. It’s now running nginx, PHP, MariaDB, WordPress, SSH and cloudflared directly on the phone. Everything starts automatically on boot, and I even made a tiny WordPress plugin for anonymous Today / Total / Online visitor stats. And yes, the website is being served by the exact phone in the photo. 1 GB of RAM. Somehow this thing is now a production server. I named it Pettyl, after the device codename. You can actually visit it at moto.dimitrium.org. The website is barebones, I plan to push it to the limits. Also, this project will soon be available on my GitHub page github.com/tradicije Next problem: figuring out how long an old Motorola can tolerate my bullshit.
