I don't see how using a local webserver poses any risk ? That's what I do for local access to my station Weewx pages I run a Apache2 server on the Rpi 3b that runs my weather station so I can access my Weewx & Steel Series (different version, https://github.com/HanSolo/SteelSeries-Canvas ) pages from a local LAN address (http://192.168.1.130/weewx/ss/) since it's behind my modem/router/firewall and not exposed to the WWW I don't see any security issues. My website station page is https://jlawson.co.uk/index.php/weather if you want to see how this version of Steel Series looks. Regards Jimi
