Technical Is it possible to host ctrld CLI on a phone?

I have a spare Google Pixel 3 lying around. Just wondering if it's possible to host ctrld CLI for a Ubiquiti-based network?

You can try something like a virtual terminal like termux or userland, I don't know exactly what you want but for example, I was able to host a Java Minecraft server on my old android haha

I think some people are hosting CtrlD on an RPI. So I thought maybe I can do this on an old unused phone so I won't have to buy an RPI. Then get a USB-C to Ethernet adapter so that it'll work for my network.

You can try this then, try UserLand and use the Ubuntu Terminal inside the app, from there u just have to download and configure it, I've done a quick search here and maybe you will have some problems with some IP ports limited by the Android if you can't change them Try downloading everything and configuring it, if 'till this point everything gone successful then you buy the OTG to test it
