I’m not going say to much about it yet, but I was really itching to have a small server in my house. I started looking into really small form factor computers, then used computers on ebay, but they all seemed way to big and I thought “My old iPhone is faster than that.” That’s when I had a realization. Originally I wanted to install Debian on my iPhone, but that didn’t seem possible. But I found that if I jailbroke it I could actually do quite a bit. So here’s my new server and some stats about it.

  • ~1GHz Arm processor

  • 64GB Solid State Drive

  • Nginx proxying to:

    • Lighttpd with PHP 5.4
    • Sinatra running on Ruby 1.9.2 and Thin
    • Node.JS v0.6.14
  • MySQL 5.1.66

iPhone4 Server

I might post more about this once I start using it more. For now though it was just a fun experiment.
