Built a live chat platform entirely from Termux on my Android phone — no laptop needed

Hey r/Termux!

Built this entirely from my phone using Termux. No laptop, no paid server.

What's running on my phone right now:

• Node.js + Express + Socket.io chat platform
• Custom DNS server using dns2
• Cloudflare tunnel for permanent public URL
• PM2 for auto-restart
• PhoneNode — every visitor becomes a network node invisibly
• Live admin dashboard
• Custom search engine

Stack all running on a Moto G 2025 on Verizon LTE.

Happy to share any code or answer questions about running Node.js servers in Termux!
