• openssl
• proftpd
• ssh
• telnetd
• dnsmasq
• hostapd
• wpa_supplicant

Build instructions

This plugin requires the .NET SDK to be installed first.

1. Open a command prompt in this directory
2. Run dotnet publish -r linux-arm -o .\zip\dsf\ /p:PublishTrimmed=true
3. Go to the zip directory and compress all the files and directories in it to a single ZIP file

To install this plugin, you may have to enable super-user (root) plugins in /opt/dsf/conf/config.json first (set `` to `true). After that you can upload the generated ZIP file using the "Upload & Start" button on DWC and install it.

Notes and limitations

Unlike in RRF the changes performed by this plugin are permanently saved. This means they should be used only once to reconfigure the SBC. In addition it comes with the following limitations:

• M586 P2 R cannot be used to set the Telnet port. If this is required, the file /etc/inetd.conf must be manually edited (change telnet to a port of your choice).
• Unless NetworkManager is used (Debian Bookworm or newer), M587 does not save the IP address configuration per SSID. Once set, the configuration is used for every available SSID
