Can not use Reforis on TOS 5+ - ControllerMissing

The issue seems to be that you have explicit configuration foris-controller.ubus=ubus in the UCI. The reForis works only with mqtt bus. The enough fix should be:

uci set foris-controller.ubus=mqtt
uci commit foris-controller
/etc/init.d/foris-controller

The Turris OS 5.3.0 is going to remove the ability to run foris-controller on any other bus than MQTT and thus resolving this issue.

Why installation of reforis-netboot-plugin helped is because it pulled in reforis-remote-devices-plugin and that depends on foris-controller-subordinates-module which works only with MQTT so it forces foris-controller to switch to it. It should be safe to remove netboot once you set MQTT as the foris-controllerā€™s bus or after Turris OS 5.3.0 release.

Iā€™m on 5.3.3 and have just been surprised with this same issue.

Going thorugh the thread, I also installed reforis-netboot-plugin which sorted it out, but then went through the fix in foris-controller, which seems to work as @cynerd says even after removing the netboot package.

I have checked /etc/config/foris-controller before issuing the uci command, and the line config mqtt 'ubus' was not present.
