• DietPi-Software | Reboot prompt: Will now occur prior to the system rebooting. Giving you time to do more, before rebooting! :D
• DietPi-Software | Moved majority of conf/* files located on DietPi-RAMdisk, moved over to github for download during installations. Reducing the size of RAMdisk usage.
• DietPi-Software | Pydio: Added rewrite rules to all webserver configs to allow sync client connection out of the box. Thanks to @Monzon for reporting this issue: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2308

@MichaIng

Also I would like to rename some of the files and simplify a bid, since this is the last chance we can do it.

Yep, by all means, what you have in mind?

Only downside of this conf downloads: Once implemented, the URLs need to stay the same forever

We can always change dev links and rename the files as needed, won't affect beta/master branches until updated.

The upside:

• less junk (mostly unused for most users) in the RAMdisk 😃
• Less code in dietpi-software once we replace more cat _EOF_ with downloads.

Downside:

• flaky connection or github issue = failed install.
