    I believe you are asking to use phone as backend? If its ios, its over because you cant.

    But if its Android, I recommend Termux which gives a Linux based terminal emulator and you can install Ubuntu in it for further support.

    You will also be needing a reverse tunnel to make it connect to your remote frontend application.

    i recommend to only learn only as running heavy resources already heats up phone, and yours old too.

    and for your existing projects, try FlashBB, its python based.

    good luck.

      Yes, android, but I would also like it to work on any terminal ideally. Thanks for the pointers. I really like the HN simplicity and I want a way to have all that it is in a tiny form factor on a as needed bases.

      I recently learned about onion services and for my use case it seems perfect. My use case would be setting it up for a few friends so I don't see a reason to not use it as speed isn't really that important and ideally I can still keep it somewhat private. Also, I just don't really know of a way to setup clearnet access very easily im still new to all this and don't have a great grasp of all the ins and outs of networking.
