I make one that I put a lot of effort into documenting:
https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot
It's pretty easy to extend since it's just Python and vanilla HTML/JS/CSS, so there's not much of a toolchain to install.
You can buy it pre-made for $399 or make a DIY one for under $100.

Took me awhile to remember what it was called, but TinyPilot [^0] by mtlynch is pretty cool. Michael sometimes writes about running a hardware business on his blog [^1].
