Considering that a 'base' raspbian type install can be something like 160MB of RAM used with openssh running and a lot of other launched-from-systemd daemons in the background, that leaves plenty of RAM available for a stock apache2 or nginx setup with TLS. No it won't be able to serve a ton of simultaneous requests, but I'm in agreement with the other comments here that doing purely port 80/http and putting it behind a secondary TLS proxy is not really "serving the website" from the raspberry pi.

Hmm is linux on arm so frugal still?

Don't have a Pi plugged in now to check, but I have a fresh x86_64 linux and it's using like 600 Mb of ram - server install, I only got around to installing and configuring openssh and samba so far.

Oh and it's Devuan, so not even systemd to blame. I think it was close to 1 G with a systemd distro.
