If you want a Lua webserver, the way to go imo is Redbean.

https://redbean.dev/

Based on CosmopolitanC with incredible performance and single binary runs on any platform.

There is also MakoServer.

More for embedded but runs in anything and also very batteries included, like Redbean including SQLite and JSON for example.

Redbean is very fun. I built a mini Markdown-based CMS with it earlier this year: https://github.com/kevinfiol/beancms
