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?

I second the use of copyparty. It's very easy to setup under Termux, and has a quite nice web UI, and since it exposes the raw files, you can play them in anything that supports playing remote files, like VLC
