 Can I run a blossom server in the phone? 🤔 
 never know until you try 
 only if you have a tunnel to a vps or something with an inbound connection, otherwise it would not technically be a server since it can't wait for clients to initiate 
 we got Citrine running through tor on an .onion address.. Images could follow the same connection type.  
 if you are running an onion hidden service then ok, that's an inbound connection 
 I approve and endorse this message :). Also, folks keep forgetting about IPv6. I had my Citrine relay open to the Internet in all its full insecure glory by simply binding it to "::" and adding a rule to my firewall. I want my personal relay, media support, Lightning node, Lightning address bridge, NWC connect support, and an HTTPS-enabled reverse proxy with Certbot and a DDNS client running on my Android phone. I want all of this written in Kotlin so I can hack it to my heart's content.

People saying that this isn't practical aren't living the dream :). 
 if its a smol one, why not do it. :) 
 I think so, it's just a http server right? 
 I thought it had some syncing capabilities with other servers..  
 No reason to run it on your phone

 Sure. But why? Your data provider will love you. Your wallet will not. 
 We could have a server to make sure your image doesn't disappear from other blossom nodes without a fallback to your own hardware (likely running on an older phone on wifi).
