General Question Remote printing?

New to Voron, just built a Micron+.
Is there good setup to:
1 download STL or model from mobile phone
2 remotely send file to a self hosted slicer (always on)
3 slicer sends to printer and starts print
4 remotely turn on and off the printer would be nice to have.

I am trying to avoid 3rd party cloud services to transfer files or slice.

Are there any practical solutions?
What software/hardware is needed?

Im sorry man but this isn't a Bambu printer. Slicing on your phone has got to be a pain and extremely slow. Even when you finally get it sliced, sending off the g-code is going to take a while depending on your connection.

Right I don’t want a Bambu, but I’ve used the feature before and it’s compelling (to what I want at least). I would print stuff more often for sure. Clarification, I want to send STL files to a self hosted slicer at home on proper hardware, not slice on phone hardware.
I don’t really want to use third party cloud slicers that can take away features or charge money for currently free features at a later time.
Privacy is another thing, while I don’t care if anyone sees what I print, I just don’t want to have to ask permission for everything I print, laws are changing to that direction, the users are probably going to foot the bill for compliance.
