A Nintendo Wii running NetBSD 10.1 on a 729 MHz PowerPC CPU with 64 MB RAM serves a live website over IPv6, with IPv4 clients proxied via Nginx.
Key Takeaways
Hardware: Wii uses a 729 MHz PowerPC CPU and 64 MB usable RAM; USB Ethernet via TP-Link RTL8153 adapter after AX88772A failed in both Wii Menu and NetBSD.
NetBSD 10.1 pkgsrc provides the full stack: httpd with chroot/vhost, geomyidae for Gopher, git, tmux, fastfetch.
IPv6 setup assigns a static alias address in /etc/ifconfig.ure0 alongside rtsol for dynamic routing; AAAA record points directly to the Wii.
IPv4 clients hit an Nginx reverse proxy on a separate server, which forwards to the Wii’s IPv6 address, keeping direct browser-to-Wii for IPv6 users.
HTTPS is deliberately deferred; author wants browsers to talk to the Wii directly rather than route through another reverse proxy.
