@Fedilab Apps Hey, crazy question, but since Holos is up and running, would it be possible to make something more traditional?

I was rolling around the idea of running Wafrn server from a spare phone, and then it occurred to me how useful that'd be, I mean lots of people have a spare phone, and older phones, even older premium phones can be had cheaply, right? So what if we could install a front end-less server on one? Leave it at home on WiFi, and connect to it via FediLab or another Mastodon compatible client.

You prolly don't need another project, but I figured I'd toss that out there as it seems like its got some similarities to #holos

Yes because the server already runs directly on the phone, so adding a Mastodon-compatible API on top so Fedilab or other clients can connect to it locally is possible. It could be another app that just brings the server part.

@Fedilab Apps Nods, "That's what I was thinking, basically the idea popped into my head that such a thing would make self-hosting more than just one account easy, after all there's a reason why I have a hosted instance, setting up this stuff is beyond me, but an app I can download, start and have my own instance up and running? I'll need a domain and a relay, but that's far easier than setting up my own typical instance, no? I wouldn't expect to be able to host too many accounts, but here I have 5 accounts, 3 that don't post much, one that posts in batches (I so wish there was something with a queue function), and my regular personal account."
