From DietPi Bookworm upgrade note , it looks like ksmbd should be available now. While the packages are there, I cannot get them to run:
# journalctl -fu ksmbd
Journal file /var/log/journal/f8890fe1e1de41b7935dd7e38ff63562/system.journal is truncated, ignoring file.

Apr 22 11:02:14 orangepi5plus ksmbd[1084344]: [ksmbd-worker/1084344]: ERROR: Cannot resolve netlink family
I have an orange pi 5 plus with DietPi v9.11.2
This has nothing to do with DietPi version or DietPi tooling. ksmbd has merged to mainline kernel in the Linux 5.15 release. ksmbd-tools/README.md at master · cifsd-team/ksmbd-tools · GitHub
The software package ksmbd-tools is available on global Debian package repository Debian -- Package Search Results -- ksmbd-tools and can be installed using apt package manager. If there are issue with the package, it might be good to contact the respective package/software maintainer.
Thank you. Did DietPi use stock armbian kernel (for rk3588)? because they have CONFIG_SMB_SERVER=m but in DietPi the module seems missing:
# lsmod | grep ksmbd
<empty>
# modinfo ksmbd
modinfo: ERROR: Module ksmbd not found.
# zgrep CONFIG_SMB_SERVER /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_SMB_SERVER is not set

This is from image, that is on download page as i don’t have OrangePi 5 Plus.
$ grep CONFIG_SMB_SERVER boot/config-6.1.84-vendor-rk35xx
CONFIG_SMB_SERVER=m
CONFIG_SMB_SERVER_CHECK_CAP_NET_ADMIN=y
CONFIG_SMB_SERVER_KERBEROS5=y
Look like it is build in kernel as module.
What kernels do you have?
ls -l /boot
Sorry it turned out to be another user error.
