This Web article describes a low-tech Web server, running only on solar power (and which does not work when there are clouds). https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2018/09/how-to-build-a-lowtech-website/ 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. -- Emma

You could run it on a Raspberry Pi, if that is low energy enough. > No idea if SSL would work though. I'm not sure if Agate could run on an ESP32 and am not qualified to talk much about embedded Rust. But I think ESP-IDF has support for TLS, so if there is a Rust wrapper for that, it would probably not be a problem. It would maybe require to use a different TLS library, which is a feasible change. -- You can verify the digital signature on this email with the public key available through web key discovery. Try e.g. `gpg --locate-keys`...

It's tiny, can do wifi and bluetooth (the W version of it) and can probably work well on solar power (or AAA rechargable batteries).
