GlobaLeaks embedd a webserver based on Twisted framework, integrate 
txtorcon for automatic generation of onion address and also LetsEncrypt 
to have HTTPS (on the internet-side, if required), everything 
apparmored, debian packaged, etc

In upcoming weeks we are going to deploy a project that require hosting 
of a self-contained html-only files for a foundation that provide 
psychological support to child pornographer on .onion.

As we already have all of those facilities in-place, with GlobaLeaks 
already serving static files from /public/ directory, include URL 
redirection and multi-sites with multi-hostname configuration, admin UI 
interface to make upload/download of static files in the public 
directory, we are considering the options to make some improvements to 
facilitate it's uses for that small CMS for .onion.

Do you think it would be useful to get a 1-cmdline install 
self-contained software like GlobaLeaks, disabling the "whistleblowing" 
functionalities, leaving all of the rest in-place as a static, hardened 
webserver for .onion, with mutiple-site and a web-admin interface?
