Below is are some lists of things to install. Everything will fit on a WRT32X. Most will fit on a WRT3200ACM (if done in the correct order (biggest to smallest groups) and individually, they'll all fit). But it will be a tight squeeze to fit everything on the lower end AC Series. Dependencies are not listed, but will be installed when the various items are installed. | Below is are some lists of things to install. Everything will fit on a WRT32X.

==== Installation Order (to make as much useful stuff as possible fit) ==== | |||
This section doesn't apply to the WRT32X as it as about 120 MB of storage space. The WRT3200ACM can benefit from this installation order and get everything to fit. For the 1900 series, don't even think about Samba | |||

WATCH OUT: One or more of the password related utilities will break the LuCI GUI ability to change passwords. Use the ''passwd'' command on the command line instead (you'll need to do it separately for LuCI GUI access and SSH access). If one gets "locked out", remember the Serial / TTL interface doesn't require a password so all passwords for the root user can be removed with this command: passwd root -r | WATCH OUT: One or more of the password related utilities will break the LuCI GUI ability to change passwords.

For the 'shadow group', if using english, none of the -i18n items need to be installed and can be removed with this command: opkg list | grep luci-i18n-shadowsocks| awk '{print $1}' | xargs opkg remove | |||

Restic is another utility on the larger side. If backups are done with this software and need to be restored, then it's needed. If one doesn't use, consider using it. If not, don't worry about installing it. | Restic is another utility on the larger side. If backups are done with this software and need to be restored, then it's needed.

One will have to make a choice on this one between Samba and Restic if a WRT3200ACM is being used. | |||
