Not tested on a device yet. What that means
Limits in Breadstick
nginx cannot use port 80 or 443, which Android does not give apps, so set a port above 1024 in the listen line of its site config.
nginx in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own nginx package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so nginx should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
nginx
There is no systemd in Breadstick, so a server does not start on its own: you start it by hand from the Terminal. Android does not give apps the network ports below 1024, so a web or file server listens on a higher port, and other devices on your network can reach it at the device's address when it listens on all addresses and Breadstick is running. More in the docs: What Breadstick cannot do: the system itself.

Nginx ("engine X") is a high-performance web and reverse proxy server created by Igor Sysoev. It can be used both as a standalone web server and as a proxy to reduce the load on back-end HTTP or mail servers.
