Local access point forum.I have an idea, or part of an idea, to put a discussion forum on a local WiFi access point.
Something like a virtual noticeboard at the end of the street.
I'm not sure why, but I think there is some purpose to keeping it local and not connected to the internet.
The question here is of how hard is it to host a small forum, and how best to do it.
My thinking is to do it as cheap and lightweight as possible, so that we can make lots and distribute them widely.
On that basis, I thought maybe host it on something like a Raspberry Pi, but I wonder if we could use something even lighter, like an ESP32...

Probably beyond an esp32.

Would this present security concerns for ones home network?

Is it?
A forum as sophisticated as this one may be beyond them, but they're certainly capable of hosting a web page with a text editor.
