8 MiB of RAM is painfully not enough. Just the lighting thread takes up some 16 MiB, if I remember correctly.

How about this then: http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack

Yes that's a hard drive. 64 MB RAM, 3 core processor including one Cortex-M3.

The problem is networking. You can't just plug an ethernet cable into it.
So, You could probably get it to run, but noone will be able to use it.

However, with a USB chassis, you could use the RAVPower thing to forward requests to the drive.

Or something that could definitely run the server (roughly the same power as a pi): https://www.crowdsupply.com/inverse-path/usb-armory . Imagine a USB stick running a minecraft server.

Good thing I have a spare hard drive laying around. I should try that sometime.
I also found relatively cheap computing power here:

And I was messing around with the RAVPower Filehub and got root access to it using telnet and changed its MAC address. I used this to get access to the wifi network at school and broadcast an unlocked signal to everyone else. The tech department will never know...

I still think the router is better.

Imagine: your internet is running, your server is on.

[DiamondToaster]

Portabalize the router, bring to WLAN party, profit.

Not only that, but on the router, the server is automatically accessible from the outside, without any NAT setup.

[DiamondToaster]

Oh yeah, true. I wish that would help me in my situation but it can't. I have a bunch of hosting hardware here but can't use it. I think my ISP double-routered my connection and blocked incoming ports.

What I'm doing, is being amazed by how much activity this forum suddenly has!
