Boris,

Is it possible to install a webserver on the nslu2?
example: meteohub + joomla

Hi,
Meteohub has a small webserver included. It is \"thttpd\", which deliver quite reasonable results if you take into account that the NSLU2 just has 32 MB of ram.

In order to get joomla working, you need
  • mysql (would be a kill for the NSLU2 if you ask me)
  • full fletched php (don't know what this might implicate in terms of resources)
  • apache instead of \"thttpd\" (this might work but will have a drop in performance)
SO from my point of view that answer is \"yes, there already is a webserver running (but a tiny one)\" and \"no joomla won't do (too hungry of resources)\"

If you are interested to dig deeper in this, \"http://www.nslu2-linux.org/\" is a very good first starting point. Meteohub is based on the development tools there and you can add things from there to it.
