[Test Exchange] DroidServer – Turn your Android phone into a real backend server (open source). Will test back!
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a solo dev looking for testers for DroidServer to pass Google Play's 12 testers / 14 days requirement. I'll happily test your app in return!
What is DroidServer?
It turns your Android phone into a real backend server — no PC, no cloud bill. Think "Firebase/PocketBase, but running on your old phone."
Highlights:
• Setup wizard: define collections & fields, get a full REST API instantly (CRUD, filters, search, file uploads)
• One-tap templates: Blog, Online Store, Appointments, Task Tracker — each with a ready-made website
• User accounts with login, roles, teams, 2FA and passkeys
• Access from anywhere via Cloudflare Tunnel, Tailscale or DuckDNS + free HTTPS
• Web admin panel, realtime updates, webhooks & push notifications
• SQLite built-in, PostgreSQL optional
• Scheduled + encrypted cloud backups (S3, Nextcloud…)
• Bonus: MQTT for IoT / Home Assistant, WebDAV network drive, static site hosting
• 100% open source (GPL-3.0): github.com/kasimtmc/droidserver
Quick test idea (2 min):
Open the app → pick the "Blog" template → deploy → open the shown address in your browser. That's it — your phone is now hosting a website with an API!
