Kiwix-serve on PB743K3
Hi,
I would like to use offline wikipedia (wikitravels.zim) on Pocketbook. How I can use kiwix-serve on my pocketbook? And how to use internet browser with loopback interface? I tried bash script in kiwix.app something like: kiwix-serve --port=8080 wikipedia.zim But after run kiwix.app nothing happend. I used version kiwix-tools_linux-armhf-3.4.0.tar.gz. Could somebody help me with configuring and running Offline Wikipedia on pocketbook? How to do it? Thanks for any feedback! |

If the ZIM file is not too large, it can work with this:
https://github.com/JuanJakobo/Pocketbook-ZIM-Reader Cave: Splitting the ZIM destroys the search index therefore filesize is limited to under 4GB. See here: https://github.com/JuanJakobo/Pocket...eader/issues/1 Kiwix doesn't work on unrooted PB since localhost is deactivated. You could activate it on an rooted device via: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up but even after this my older tests resulted with my PB trying to get online while connecting to localhost.

No, you'll need localhost for that.
