so hello i am trying to host some html pages as webserver on my setobox i am using openpli, and i see that openwebif is running on local host and also i installed transmision which also works but what is hosting them? i want to setup virtual server my own, without instaling apache nor httpd, i noticed there is ndg httpclient installed but i dont see any documentation on it or anything how is it all hosted without apache ?

It isn't really hosted. OpenWebIF creates the webservice itself with Twisted Web. I think you can hook into it, but I don't know how. Or you could write a plugin that creates its own twisted.web server, on a different port.

Indeed, it isn't a website, it is a web based application.

 

Making the box a webserver, especially if you want to expose it to the internet, is a very bad idea due to the absense of any security, at any level.
