Can you run server on esp8266 without pi? Pi alternative due to short supply?

Curious if you can run misc server on esp 8266 as a standalone or if you need pi hardware as a server at all times. Also has anyone experimented with pi alternatives? currently rasp pis on the market cost $145!!

Hi,

Unfortunately not, because ESP 8266 is a microcontroller, and MLSC requires a full Linux environment to run. We did not test any Raspberry Pi alternatives, but if they can run Raspberry Pi OS 32/64 Bit and have the required processing power and GPIO pins, then they also might work.
