No real point on my part here. There's just a lot of colorful discussion here and in sibling threads. I found these to be fascinating reads and they feel relevant. I believe the author was running the server from second link on their daily driver.

Author writes about using Termux as a webserver. Do note Termux's having to target older API versions if anyone is really contemplating the feasibility today.
