I am wondering if it would be a huge project to create an "http server" kind of Wasm binary. With php, rails or whatever server-side scripting a given project is using. I guess it would still require some quite extensive changes to the served HTML and js.
My use-case would be to create single instances of a server-side project, for demonstration purposes, or serverless operation. Things like providing a webapp for https://kanboard.org https://kanboard.org or NextCloud.
As a bonus, this could be combined with webtorrent, or other distributed mechanisms to let multiple "servers" interoperate seamlessly, regardless of their server/client usage. Of course, this can already be done today, but the Fediverse usually relies on DNS and certificates, while few server-side apps are completely distributed. This could provide an incentive, and ultimately make it easier to self-host (maybe even ultimately running the Wasm binaries instead of docker containers).
