I got this one for € 50. Flashing was trivial and it seems to run well. The standard PostmarketOS kernel lacks some kconfig flags to support docker, so I had to compile a custom kernel. | I got this one for € 50. Flashing was trivial and it seems to run well.

| Status | Beta |
Here in Europe, people are looking for ways to ditch US-tech. This includes family and friends of mine. And there are plenty of alternatives such as NextCloud and Immich. Thing is, software nowadays is run as a service and the typical friends and family should not be expected to know how to administrate a Linux server.
But social circles do contain the occasional Linux nerd such as myself. However, I can not provide all of the hardware. Especially since RAM has become unaffordable thanks to our good friend Sam Altman. But what if I do not have to? What if people would scavenge their drawers for their old smartphones and hand it to me to provide the hardware to host their services on?

Software
PostmarketOS (pmOS) is the project that makes it possible to run an the similarly named Alpine Linux-based distro on old smartphones. What is interesting is that the goal of this project is to run mainline Linux as opposed to the heavily patched ancient kernels that ship with Android.
Hardware
I followed the pmOS wiki to cross-reference support for devices that were advertised on the local 2nd hand market.
Feature and peripheral support differs per device, but since I only need these phones to do computing and networking I can permit myself some liberty in device selection.
OnePlus 6
I got this one for € 50. Flashing was trivial and it seems to run well. The standard PostmarketOS kernel lacks some kconfig flags to support docker, so I had to compile a custom kernel.
Fairphone 3
This phone was free because it was completely broken. On a hunch, I attempted to reflow the SoC with the hot-airgun which made it come back to life. Flashing PostmarketOS was also super easy. Also needed kconfig tweaking to get Docker to work.
OnePlus 8 Pro
Has some cracks in the screen and case which reduced the price to a mere € 40. Backing up the stock-ROM and flashing to pmOS was orders of magnitude more work than the other devices.
Upstream?
- kconfig is missing some flags required by docker/k3s in the default images
- Containerd fails to start because of a misconfigured path. Would be handy to fix upstream in either Alpine or PostmarketOS, whichever ships this mistake
