• caddy-dynamicdns

  8 210 6.0 Go

  Caddy app that keeps your DNS records (A/AAAA) pointed at itself.

Sure, you can do this with nginx and dynamic DNS if you really want to, but Caddy does it all for you, with automatic HTTPS, and runs natively on Android (or in Termux): https://caddy.community/t/running-caddy-2-on-android/13993?u...

Here's the dynamic DNS plugin: https://github.com/mholt/caddy-dynamicdns -- it will just update the A records for your domain directly with your DNS provider, no need for a third-party service.

  📦 Build code for NextcloudPi on Android (Linux Deploy) (by DesktopECHO)

I went the Linux Deploy route and published a couple of container images that Just Work on pretty much any ARM Android device.

Once you shiv systemd, some pretty elaborate scripts can run in an Android chroot just like they would on bare-metal ARM. Just think of your old Android as an off-brand rPi with case, built-in touchscreen LCD, and way, way fewer GPIO pins. No surprise the server will need a new UPS battery.
