I have an old android xiaomi phone with 128 GB of storage that I want to use as a music streaming server that I can access from my current phone and computer.

I want to know if this is possible and if it is, can it be done without rooting?

Don't have experience with setting up servers, but one idea I have for when I go set up one of my own is a Linux-based server through Termux. Only problem is if you need to change permissions for Android files, as then you'd need root to run sudo-based commands.
