Hey,

Im trying to setup a web service within Kura so that I can create my own custom API for different stuff. I have been googling around but couldn't find anything helpful. What would be the best way to setup a custom API within Kura?

if you mean a custom web app, it is possible however not very good (for want of a better description).

look for "org.osgi.service.http.HttpContext"

You can create pseudo-servlets which load resources from within the jar. it's quite tricky but possible.

What would be a good solution? I have been trying to figure out how to setup a web app on a kura device for over a week now.

Most new osgi examples on the internet use declarative services with annotations, but i haven't figured out how to make the annotations do anything or if the kura environment even supports them. Others are 6 to 10 years old and seem to be using listeners instead of the HTTP whiteboard approach. I can make those work, but the webpage cannot find it's resources then.

Is kura just not meant for these types of things?
