I understand that the experimental browser is not exactly feature complete. If I can figure out why these applications don't work I could fork and do a workaround, but I don't know what the kindle browser is lacking that is causing the trouble. Any help would be appreciated! |
Such a coincidence. I had the exact same idea a few days ago. I got WeTTY working on a Kobo with an Alpine Linux chroot, though it didn't show anything in the browser, even if it did show that it was indeed on the right page. I also tried
https://github.com/nickola/web-console , which did get to the (fake) prompt, but couldn't return back what I did due to an AJAX error. I used nginx web server and node http-server, none of them worked.
You can follow my guide on how to set up a chroot environment here:

It's for Kobos but should be very similar for Kindles too.
Good luck!
Edit: I think I'll grab courage and upgrade to some 5.13.x jailbreakable version (from 5.6.5) via KindleBreak and see if I can get that working on my PW3.
