[Tech] A low-tech; low-energy capsule?

This Web article describes a low-tech Web server, running only on

solar power (and which does not work when there are clouds).

Gemini seems well-suited for this sort of tasks. Is there such a

solar-power-only capsule?

Has anyone tried porting one of the Python implementations to CircuitPython or MicroPython?

A microcontroller-based Gemini server would be a good match for a solar powered capsule.

Just remembered there's work being done on embedded Rust so maybe the agate server running on ESP32?

No idea if SSL would work though.
