I Turned This Broken Phone Into A Home Server

In this video, I show how I repurposed an old smartphone into a home server. I explain why I chose this project, discuss potential solutions, and walk through installing PostmarketOS, flashing the OS, and dealing with power and Docker issues. I also cover software challenges, build a custom headless image, resolve nftables problems, and finally remove the battery for a cleaner setup. The result is a fully functional server running on a repurposed phone.
