What's more solarpunk than using old hardware destined for the dump to host a cool website?

It says it's a static website on postmarketos. So, I'm guessing... some Apache server?

It's nginx according to the response headers.

Do you think that's not just the reverse-proxy (for the ssl certificates)? Can you just serve a homepage via nginx? I'm guessing you could simply redirect into a webroot dir with html files, but is it practical?

nginx is a very capable web server by itself, the reverse proxy is just one small part of it.

Without more information I'm just guessing, but they're probably running the whole thing on-device, the CPU in that phone should have hardware cryptography support (For AES), but even ChaCha is pretty efficient in software on chips like that.
