If

you have telnet access to you kobo's Linux (e.g. from a pc), and
you're familiar with Linux

you can check whether your own device has it; but my Kobo mini has a simple httpd already installed in /usr/sbin, and symlinked to busybox. It's not in the main $PATH search path, but you can find it by typing

find / -name httpd

at the telnet terminal.

For (2) you may like to initiate your own linux bash scripts from a E-reader/Kobo menu, see
