Standalone Android Setup

Standalone Android Setup

Tori Tenji for Android can run its own embedded server directly on your device, so you don't need a separate computer running Tori at all.

1. Install Tori Tenji

Install the app on your Android device (sideloaded APK or, if published, from the store listing).

2. Start the Mobile Server

In the app, go to Settings → Mobile Server and enable it. This starts a local copy of the Tori server backend on your phone/tablet, using on-device storage for its data directory and cache.

3. Point the app at itself

Once the Mobile Server is running, use http://127.0.0.1:<port> (the port shown in the Mobile Server screen — 43211 by default) as your server address on the setup screen.

Notes

• Running the server on-device means your library data lives on that device — back it up like you would any other local data.
• Performance for transcoding/streaming depends on your device's hardware; low-end devices may struggle with on-the-fly transcoding of large files.
• The Mobile Server can also be reached by other devices on the same network the same way a desktop server would be — see Connect Tenji to Desktop for the same networking logic (find the device's local IP, ensure it's not restricted to loopback, etc).
