Either adb shell or a Terminal app.

Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2014 19:04It is theoretically possible to host a dedicated server, as its requirements are quite low. I successfully ran a server on a machine with 128M of RAM, with a CPU clocked at ~500MHz, and some folks here have dedicated servers running on Raspberri Pis.
That said, I don't know if a server started from the GUI, or otherwise a client running in the same device would be playable at all.
