Optional: Create your own alpine image using the create-release.sh script, as described in the documentation. (this is recommended if you want to install packages, as apk is not working on the provided image.)
These methods are tested and safe. |
Thank you very much! Regarding apk not working, are you saying, if I for instance want to install vnc server / client, I should add that directly in the create-release.sh script? Rather than apk install afterwards? Or if I build it myself in a linux environment then apk will work? (on a sidenot, I wonder how hard it'd be to make that build script work on an M1 Macbook but I'll probably spin up a Linux VM, afraid of messing around too much with it and possibly bricking the kindle with my own custom build).
