Web page running on an ESP8266
Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2022 2:33 amTo show how an ESP8266 may be used as a little webserver, I constructed a public website that I host on it.
By building a reverse proxy, utilising Cloudflare to mask the IP address, and avoiding DDoS attacks, I was able to do this. I'm trying hard to include things like processor statistics, uptime, and a visitor counter on the website. All of that will be hosted completely on the ESP8266 with an external storage medium housing either a text file or a sqlite database.
