I am trying to lear basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript ( again, last learned HTML back in the 1990’s, am using “JavaScript: The Good Parts” & other books ),
& have discovered that you can have, on the same phone/tablet, Termux/Nginx running,
you have to feed /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/nginx/nginx.conf the root-dir you want it to use
( which is actually in a proot-distro install, down below
/data/data/llcom.termux/files/usr/var/lib/proot-distro/installed-rootfs/ … )
… and then you can have your browser hit
and it’ll grab index.html.
Notice that that is http, NOT httpS.
None of the browsers I’ve tried can get the default connection to localhost, because they all default to https, & nginx isn’t serving https.
That wasted an entire fscking day, to discover.
Now learning can begin!
EasyDNS.ca or if they also do EasyDNS.com
GoDaddy was a bunch of sleazebags, back in the day…
Go search http://slashdot.org/ for them, and see…
not only hosting lots of sleazebags, but also having tons of compromised mail machines, so their machines were, according to what I’d read there, the source of much of the world’s spam, and they wouldn’t fix things.
EasyDNS was recommended by one of the SysAdmin reporters on The Register, a few years ago.
He also recommended Linode & Vultr, back then, too.
This stuff in this comment is just my opinion, and my memory of what trustworthy people were reporting a few years ago.

SanDisk usb-keys work.
You really want to use the thing for read-only, though, if you can:
the writes it takes to kill some portion of a filesystem, vs the writes you get before corrupting things, on a USB driver, don’t line-up.
Use NVMe as your 1st-choice for storage ( future purchases, obviously ), the fastest you can get, and be stunned by how much faster the same motherboard is, with superfast OS storage…
I’d stick /home, not /usr, on the USB.
