With the latest release of android it now supports some Linux functionality. I got docker installed simply by following Docker's docs.

Any thoughts or uses for a mobile homelab? What would be useful to have mobile?

Just installed arch with chroot on my old rooted phone a week ago.

Seeing this is great because it means there's no need for complicated workarounds or even root access! Plus the distro runs natively and not with difficulties like with chroot :D

Native in what sense? As I understand it that uses a VM of some sort

You're right actually it's not native I don't know what I'm on about ๐Ÿ˜… Still it's much easier to have a baked in terminal app than having to install proot on top of termux, hopefully it will have less of a performance impact than proot as well.
