Ayush Pande writes about utilizing a cheap Poco M6 Pro as a portable Docker host via Podroid, running four containers—IT-Tools, Omni-Tools, ConvertX, and BentoPDF—that provide developer utilities, everyday productivity tools, universal file conversion, and local PDF editing.

- ConvertX handles videos, 3D models, and phone contacts in addition to documents and images
- Tailscale provides remote access to his dedicated x86 server rigs
