If you happen to have an old Android phone sitting around collecting dust, XDA TV shows off one potentially cool use for it: a completely portable web server you can store and serve up data from no matter where you are.


The web server uses a standard Linux package and just a few different Android apps: BotBrew Basil, VNC Server, and QuickSSHD. The installation process is pretty simple and once your sever is running you have a fully portable web server that you can dish out content privately or publicly with. It probably can't handle a ton of traffic, but we're interested in hearing some of the uses you come up with in the comments.
