Using an Android tablet as a web server?

I have a Lenovo K-10 tablet lying around and I wondered whether it is possible to use it to serve a website / onionsite. If this is possible, what is the best way to achieve so?

for web? I suppose you could. Not sure the details though. I read about someone hosting their capsule from their phone.

you might be able to use Termux to set yourself up a little Linux environment to run the server; that's what I use to run terminal apps on my phone (mostly SSH + Weechat), but it seems to have fairly good software support from what I've seen

Tmux provides both Caddy and Lighttpd, but you should also consider a USB-to-Ethernet adapter if your tablet allows more than one USB port.

Serving a website over WiFi is a huge bottleneck...
