Make a new page on the website explaining how to download and run on Chrome OS:

  • Which Chromebooks are supported / technical requirements
  • How to enable the Linux console
  • How to install
  • How to configure filesystem
  • Any known issues or limitations

While simple web server is technically unsupported on chromeos, do we want to note that on any modern chromebook (since chrome 84) has a linux console that you can enable, and simple web server installs and runs quite perfectly in it?

and it works and operates as it would on a normal debian computer.

If it all works or all mostly works, then can you draft some instructions on how to install it? It would be great if you could take some screenshots of how to enable the Linux console and install the app.

With the way chromeos works, the linux container has its own file system. You can go into the files app, right click on "share with linux" and it will be mounted under /mnt/chromeos/. Although I'd say most of the time the users site will be in the linux file system

This would be something to mention in the instructions. I think we should create a new page on the website just for explaining how to use it on Chrome OS.
