Clone the notebook repo on the machine where you want to expose the Markdown web server and then install Madness and its dependencies:
Any of the open-source MQTT brokers out there should do the job. I personally use Mosquitto for most of my projects, but RabbitMQ, Aedes or any other broker should all just work.

Make sure that at the end of the process you have the node and npm executables installed - the http.webpage integration uses the Mercury Parser API to convert web pages to Markdown.
Luckily, it is possible to install and run Platypush on Android through Termux, and the logic you have set up on your laptops and servers should also work flawlessly on Android. Termux allows you to run a Linux environment in user mode with no need for rooting your device.
My dissatisfaction with the products on the market was a bit relieved when I discovered Obsidian. A Markdown-based, modern-looking, multi-device product that transparently stores your notes on your own local storage, and it even provides plenty of community plugins? That covers all I want, it's almost too good to be true! And, indeed, it is too good to be true. Obsidian charges $8 a month just for syncing content across devices (copying content to their own cloud), and $16 a month if you want to publish/share your content. Those are unacceptably high prices for something as simple as synchronizing and sharing text files! This was the trigger that motivated me to take the matter into my own hands, so I came up with the wishlist for my ideal "second brain" app:
Another nice option is to synchronize your notebook across multiple devices is to use a NextCloud instance. NextCloud provides a Notes app that already supports notes in Markdown format, and it also comes with an Android app.
You can then use an MQTT client like MQTT Explorer to connect to the broker and verify that everything is working.

Termux:Widget: to add scripts (for example to manually start Platypush or synchronize the notebook) on the home screen.
Termux:Boot: to start services such as Redis and Platypush at boot time without having to open the Termux app first (advised).
Termux:API: to programmatically access Android features (e.g. SMS texts, camera, GPS, battery level etc.) from your scripts.
