awesome-tunneling
List of ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives and other tunneling software and services. Focus on self-hosting.
I like the idea of using a phone for a web server. There could be an app, a simple CMS, a simple CDN. Not much different from social media websites, but maybe more decentralised.
Then again, actual servers seem more reliable in practice and e.g. pixelfed [1] works well for me for this kind of usage.

Not much, at least not directly. But there's https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/ which is great.
Because of some issues: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki/Termux-and-An...
"Termux and its plugins are no longer updated on Google Play Store due to android 10 issues and have been deprecated. The last version released for Android >= 7 was v0.101. It is highly recommended to not install Termux apps from Play Store any more."
Imagine this but instead of needing any CLI skills, you just install a "blog" app on the phone, do a quick OAuth2 flow with your domain provider[0] to connect a domain through a tunnel, and you're ready to start posting. This is essentially my vision of the future of selfhosting. We have a lot of work to do, but the technology is all there.
Also, if you're looking for similar tools to pinggy, I maintain a list here[1].
