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?

While this is very exciting, I just tried it, and the network connectivity seems to be broken. No IPv6.
Hmm I was messing with its networking. External vpns break stuff on GrapheneOS. Its internal IP was 192.168.0.2, and my network is different.
Yes, Linux is running in a VM, and the network interface is a virtualized veth interface connected to a host bridge. The host android system has IP address 192.168.0.1, and this network interface is called avf_tap_fixed (as seen from termux).
Any other tips for the VM and/or GrapheneOS compatibility? Ie: did you use a different profile? I run Debian throughout my house as is, but plan on integrating the VM for better integration but was a little hesitant to be an early adopter due to the potential nuances. (lemme know if you have a blog/gist/etc covering it too)
I used the owner profile. Idk much about it tbh, I have yet to do more in depth testing as my phone doesn't have displayport functionality so I am a little discouraged to be an early adopter too. I couldn't get SSH setup so typing a lot on the small keyboard wasn't ideal.
I'd check Google/GOS docs for more info for now. I'll bet there'll be a lot in the coming years as fast as usecases
I can't get it to have network connection while my phone is on cellular data. On wifi it's fine.
I just checked, and I have connectivity while on cellular. Maybe (just wild speculation) your mobile network is IPv6-only? Android (not Linux) should list 192.0.0.4 as an IP address in that case.
It's probably that. While on cellular my IP isn't 192.0.0.4 (but it is in 10. space), but there's probably some v6 somewhere in the way.
