• Install by default on Allo GUI images
• Install by default on all DietPi images?

Need to get 115 kB of archives.
After this operation, 506 kB of additional disk space will be used.

@Fourdee
Nice, if one needs to access from many different clients and/or mobile, where not always SSH client is available. But for security reasons I would always prefer a real SSH client where possible. Also for this reason --disable-ssl should be never added? Standalone webserver included which needs SSL certificates? Perhaps we can add self-signed/snakeoil certs first and then handle it within dietpi-letsencrypt as well.

For Allo GUI images it could be interesting to add it and implement into the Allo GUI? But on other images I would not add it by default. So far no one asked for it (?) and due to above reasons I also would not use it. I access to my server from local network only.

Yep.

Agree, lets make it a optional software title in dietpi-software. Pre-installed for Allo GUI

without adding --disable-ssl users can still access by https://192.168.0.100:4200 ,then need to add permission on advanced option
by adding --disable-ssl access by 192.168.0.100:4200 or http://192.168.0.100:4200

This functionality is basically covered by our new DietPi-Dashboard: #448
And installing Shellinabox, when wanted is as easy as: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/shellinabox

apt install shellinabox

So a dietpi-software implementation would be overkill. I'll mark this hence as closed.
