I makes a good home server in theory, if you have nothing else. Even adjacent to a real one. It's got battery backup built in, a pretty high amount of space with microsd expansion or even usb otg to add a harddrive maybe.

I haven't done it yet, I've been planning to though. I hit a bit of a block because the phone I want to use, the screen is completely broken, I can only control it with scrcpy from pc. But it's also not rooted. I might be able to root it with a broken screen, but I mean, one wrong selection on the recovery and it's bricked. Even if sucessful, scrcyp might stop working for some reason. So I can't really do anything advanced at the moment.
