This three-in-one device probably runs some kind of Linux and can be made 
to run yet some other kind of Linux, this other kind including a web 
server.

Take a look at OpenWRT: https://www.openwrt.org/

OpenWRT is a distro that is specifically meant to run on computers 
embedded in routers, switches and various all-in-one device like the one 
you describe. Fully open-source, it is infinitely customizable - provided 
you have the time and the love it takes.
