Serving a blog from a mobile phone is fun (to some of us).
Advantage of pinggy (entering one command in the terminal) over first renting a VPS node followed by configuring a webserver there, followed by configuring the domain and firewalls, followed by the ssh port forwarding is simplicity. Pinggy is just a quick way of hosting and testing some services.
- LinuxBender 3y agoServing a blog from a mobile phone is fun (to some of us). I never suggested that it should not be done. What I am saying is that the Termux on the cell phone + SSH + port forwarding to a VPS node would work exactly the same way. It is not clear to me that any steps are being saved by pinggy. Or are you saying that pinggy will always allow for free web hosting with ssh access? If so I think people would like that.
- ghoshbishakh 3y agoAs I said, pinggy is an easier way to do it. If for some reason someone wants to make the android phone a permanent server, then yes Pinggy can provide persistent URLs. Not for free though - $2.5 per month. (Not sure if that is less or more than the VPS charges).
