OK so I was able to run logcat. I still need to run commands in Android context. I've noticed there is adb in the device, but ./adb devices list no items and other commands (including the shell command) show "error: device not found".
Connecting to running android (alien) VM would be nice, any way of running shell command would be sufficient for my current needs.

I was fiddling around with this and I managed to get adb to work on the device. I'm running SailfishOS 1.0.2.5.
Append the following lines to /opt/alien/system/build.prop (as root):
persist.service.adb.enable=1 service.adb.tcp.port=5555
Then, restart Alien Dalvik with systemctl restart aliendalvik.service. Now, you should see an adbdprocess running:
[root@localhost bin]# ps aux | grep adb shell 15478 0.0 0.0 3448 4 ? Ssl 02:25 0:00 /opt/alien/system/root/sbin/adbd [root@localhost nemo]# lsof -p 15478 | grep android_adb adbd 15478 shell 9u CHR 10,26 3617 /dev/android_adb
After this, run as root:
[root@localhost bin]# /opt/alien/system/bin/adb kill-server [root@localhost bin]# /opt/alien/system/bin/adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached emulator-5554 device [root@localhost bin]#
Edit: Cut out stuff that are not needed.
And I solved your problem of remote access :-). On your PC go to "platform-tools" (I assume you have Android SDK installed). Then simply run: adb.exe connect 192.168.1.102 (replace the IP with your Jolla IP). Open monitor.bat and you should now see "unknown-alien_jolla_bionic..." B-).
Neat! But running adb server on device on port 5555 leaves adb wide open to internet. That can be blocked (iptables) but I reckon it's better not to have a adb server on device at all, just the daemon. Ssh port forwarding on port 5037 does the trick, but I can't get adbd running stand alone... Hints?

Alien Dalvik is told not to be an emulator on Jolla, so there might be no devices listed. However, it's still It's a register based processing VM for running apps - You can try adb -e shell (I don't think this does anything either, but worth testing for your purpose)
Just to make sure: I suppose you've already done sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
apt-get? You mean on my PC? I do have Android SDK installed on my PC, but Alien Dalvik is not "seen" by any tools on the PC (in neither of USB connections types). But that's not my issue here. My goal is to send information to intents from inside Jolla phone (e.g. send URL to Android browser).

Dunno if it worked before but now you need to do some extra magic.
and then on the host: 1. adb kill-server 2. adb connect 192.168.2.15
and voilá adb devices returns: List of devices attached 192.168.2.15:5555 device
adb logcat & adb install at least seem to work :)
In case anyone gets stuck trying to set this up (or I get stuck again, idk):
- if you're seeing facing "unauthorized" next to your phone on devices list, you need to ssh into your phone and manually update adbkeys list
- chroot into /opt/alien is not a good idea, because environmental variables are not being propagated, so even though shell works, you can't install anything and device is not being recognized properly, it took me way too long to figure it out. How to solve this? You can copy over random lines of code from /opt/alien/system/script/start_alien.sh. I already did this for you though:
SCRIPT_DIR=/system/script
source $SCRIPT_DIR/platform_envsetup.sh
source $SCRIPT_DIR/platform_extraenvsetup.sh
export ANDROID_ROOT=/system
export ANDROID_DATA=/data
export ANDROID_ASHMEM_DIR=$ANDROID_DATA/ashmem
export ANDROID_SOCKET_DIR=$ANDROID_DATA/socket
ANDROID_SDCARD=$ANDROID_DATA/sdcard
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE=$ANDROID_SDCARD
export MEDIA_STORAGE=$ANDROID_DATA/media
export DOWNLOAD_CACHE=$ANDROID_DATA/cache
export ANDROID_STORAGE=/storage
export PATH=$ANDROID_ROOT/vendor/bin:$ANDROID_ROOT/sbin:$ANDROID_ROOT/bin:$ANDROID_ROOT/xbin:$PATH
FRAMEWORK=$ANDROID_ROOT/framework
export BOOTCLASSPATH=$FRAMEWORK/core.jar:$FRAMEWORK/conscrypt.jar:$FRAMEWORK/okhttp.jar:$FRAMEWORK/core-junit.jar:$FRAMEWORK/bouncycastle.jar:$FRAMEWORK/ext.jar:$FRAMEWORK/framework.jar:$FRAMEWORK/framework2.jar:$FRAMEWORK/telephony-common.jar:$FRAMEWORK/voip-common.jar:$FRAMEWORK/mms-common.jar:$FRAMEWORK/android.policy.jar:$FRAMEWORK/services.jar:$FRAMEWORK/apache-xml.jar:$FRAMEWORK/webviewchromium.jar
Save it as, idk, /opt/alien/alien_env. Now, run adbd this way: chroot /opt/alien /bin/bash -c "source /alien_env && adbd" (save it as a script somewhere, be lazy just like me).
Now you can deploy shitcode to AlienDalvik with Android Studio: https://i.imgur.com/QuK54g8.png
