Author Topic: How can I host a web server on my ps vita or ipod('s).  (Read 2760 times)

Can I download Debian or Ubuntu?
Can I Download a program for hosting a web server?

PS VITA Stuff:
I know I can run a linux os on a ARM® Cortex™- A9 core (4 core) (ubuntu serever or debian or android or something idk). I also know the GPU supports OpenGL ES 2.0.

I want to use some device I currently own that does not use as much power as my desktop to leave on 24-7 and host a web server on.
I got 2 crappy ipods which would be terrible web servers.
And a ps vita.

How the forget is that even possible

Its an arm based system so all I need it to know how to download a new os onto it or make a program to do so or make a program to run a webserver or make a program to make a virtual machine something.

Why the forget would you want to do this

Why the forget would you want to do this

  • Because its powerful processor wise.
  • Because it does not use as much power as a destkop.
  • Because its sitting here doing nothing
  • Because its something I already have and I don't want to spend any money on hardware for a web server right now.

You're a lot better just hosting it using a service or on your own PC.

I cant leave that on all day because it uses way to much power.

It's either that or an inefficient host.

Use a hosting service


You must be smoking something heavily if you want to try this.

REALLY!

no.

You can't.
It's not just as simple as "installing a new OS".

I'm sure both devices probably have their own proprietary CPUs too, I know the iPods do.
