PhoneRig Live

Old Android phone in a drawer? PhoneRig turns it into your own server: no cloud bills, no command line. Just tap Start. Host photo albums, a website and a blog over HTTPS. Everything runs on YOUR device. PHOTO ALBUMS, SERVED BY YOUR PHONE (FREE) - Create an album, send a link and a short passcode. Guests view, download and add photos from any browser. No app, no accounts. - Photos stay on your phone and land in your own gallery. Nothing is sent to us. - Guests type a name at the gate, so every photo shows who added it and you can filter to one person. - Guest uploads stay off until you turn them on, per album, and only you can delete. - Free at every address: home Wi-Fi, your free subdomain or your own domain. BUILD A REAL WEBSITE AND A BLOG - Answer a few questions; PhoneRig builds a modern site, up to ten pages with a menu. - Add a menu or price list, opening hours with an "Open now" badge, a gallery and a map. - Take bookings by WhatsApp or email. - A blog with comments and likes: approve first or instantly, accounts only or anyone. - Reader accounts are a name and a password. No email, no phone. - Visitors can leave you a message; it lands on your phone. - Ten looks, twelve type pairings, your own colors, one-tap publish, QR code. - Run more than one site from one phone, each under your address. - Visitors: views this week, counted on your phone. No cookies. GET ONLINE IN MINUTES - A free web address (yourname.phonerig.app), or connect your own domain. - Reachable anywhere over HTTPS: no port forwarding, no static IP, automatic SSL. - Or keep it Wi-Fi-only: a private home server. CHECK ON IT FROM TELEGRAM OR DISCORD - PhoneRig Bot answers 29 commands on your server, site, visitors, storage and battery. - It pairs to one chat and answers nobody else. - Optional control, off by default: restart the server or back up, from the chat. - Write your own commands: a fixed reply or your own script. ONE-TAP APPS Real WordPress on your phone: PHP and a database included, themes and plugins work. Plus Gitea, code-server and Syncthing, wired to your server and tunnel. CONNECT LIKE A REAL SERVER - SSH from your laptop on Wi-Fi or over the internet, plus a terminal in the app. - Travel proxy: browse with your home connection while away, over SSH. Or pair a second phone by QR and Android's VPN sends its apps through your server; switch remote SSH on before you pair. No PhoneRig VPN service, nobody in the path. Sites see your home connection, so this is not anonymity. DESIGNED TO BE SIMPLE - Get told when your site goes offline and comes back. - Fleet on this Wi-Fi (beta): several devices, one panel. - An update keeps your server and its data; reopen the app and it runs again. Speaks 59 languages. KEEP IT RUNNING - Weekly backups to Drive, an SD card or anywhere you choose; passphrase optional in Downloads, required elsewhere. - Alerts for memory, storage, battery and temperature, plus battery care. WHY PHONERIG - Private by design: your data stays on your phone; no ads, no analytics, no tracking. - Your published site makes no outside requests by default. The map and your own Google tag are opt-in, and a tag brings a consent bar. PRICING - Free: core server, free subdomain, site builder, photo albums, the bot, SSH and terminal. - One-time unlocks: Backups $4.99, App Presets $14.99, PhoneRig Pro $17.99 (everything, forever). - Your own domain: $0.99 on your Cloudflare account, or we manage it for $4.99/year. GOOD TO KNOW: NOT EVERY PHONE RUNS EVERY PART 64-bit ARM phones (most Androids from ~2017) with 3 GB+ RAM, up to Android 16. Most phones run PhoneRig's Linux engine and get everything above. Newer phones that block it serve your site directly; setup tells you which. Needs the Linux engine: Gitea, code-server and VS Code Remote-SSH. Everything else works either way, including WordPress and Syncthing; without it, WordPress needs Android 11 or newer. Give that old phone a second life. Start today.
