Just a quick post, if anybody else runs into this problem.
I recently installed Fedora with Sway on another machine, which comes with foot terminal.
When I connected via SSH from foot to DietPi I got a warning about a unrecognized `$term` variable / terminal.
The message suggested to install `ncurses-term`, which I did, but it did not help. On every connection the warning popped up again.
The fix was really easy, I just had to install `foot-terminfo`:
```auto
apt install foot-terminfo
```

did you create a foot.ini file?

Fedora sway already comes with one in `/etc/xdg/foot/foot ini`.
I just copied it to the users home folder `~/.config/foot/foot.ini`
But the problem was on the dietpi machine, I installed the package on dietpi, bc there was no config for foot in `/usr/share/terminfo/f/`.
