Does anyone know how to get an Android phone to work as an AllStar node – ie. so it IS the node, rather than it needing to connect to some other (eg. Raspberry Pi) type of node? This seems like it should be easy enough to do, but so far I have not been able to find anything online about how to do this. All examples I’ve seen seem to show only how to have for example DroidStar or DVSwitch connect to some other Raspberry Pi type of node that you own, but not how to run the AllStar software package directly on Android.
Since Android is a variant of Linux, and AllStar works on Linux, presumably it shouldn’t be too hard to run AllStar directly on Android. Granted, Android is managed by google and thus it probably has a lot of limitations/issues and is not as simple to use as a normal Linux device, but people have made plenty of other things run on Android so it shouldn’t be that hard to get AllStar to run on it. Once AllStar is then running on Android, it should then be pretty easy to use something like DroidStar or DVSwitch to connect to the [localhost] AllStar node. Thanks
