I've got an AX-58U with Merlin 386.2 beta 2 and serious issues installing dnscrypt-proxy using amtm.
I'm seeing the same error as above - during configuration in amtm/di the toml file is created, then the error pops up and the toml file is moved to .err.
DNSCrypt-proxy could be started manually by setting the listen interface to something else than 127.0.0.1:53 (which is occupied by DNSMasq), and commenting the line that drops privileges to go with user "nobody".
This way it's never really used, though.
Additionally I can't install haveged:
/jffs/dnscrypt/haveged: not found (exists but doesn't execute properly).The configuration never really finishes.
Edit: Installer version is 2.1.8
Edit 2: I'm also seeing
[: bad number before the line Info: JFFS custom scripts and configs are already enabled.

How is WAN & LAN dns set? And also how is LAN/Dns-filter set?
Any other scripts installed on the router?
386.2 beta 2 include a rngd so maybe it conflict's with haveged (a guess since i can't test it)
WAN is DHCP with 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8 set manually (
Connect to DNS Server automatically off), LAN doesn't have a DNS set but the router itself (Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS on).Other scripts:
- FlexQoS
- YazFi
- Entware
- Disk Check Script
Edit: Clarifications

Thanks. I am, I tried the installer using amtm and the installer directly from github to no avail.

what output do you get when you type in uname -m into the ssh terminal?
the only outputs the installer supports is
armv7l
aarch64
Edit:
I currently have it running on the RTAX88U 386.2 beta 2 and GTAX11000 386.2 beta 2 with no issues, I will have to do some more digging. The only difference is my Wan DNS is set to automatic.
Here is a test run I did with the RTAX88U on beta 2. --- This router uses aarch64

use the code option. and copy & paste
You may have to shorten sections, such as the long list of servers.
Also, Did you perform a full factory reset after converting from stock firmware to RMerlin Firmware? there are many differences between the firmwares that may need to the addressed with a full factory reset and a Manual reconfiguration of router settings (I.E. not trying to restore settings from a backup created from stock firmware).
Strange though, I thought since it was a HND model it would not be an armv7l , but I guess Asus is still using that with newer routers.

@panni , as per this observation, try using it without haveged installed.
As well, I have found other users having issues with this router particularly on the 386 branches.

You may want to try the 384.19 firmware to see if you have the same issues. 384.19 is not currently in beta and some users are reporting it as more stable for the RTAX58U.

what is the output values when you type these into the SSH terminal...
nvram get jffs2_enable
nvram get jffs2_scripts
and
df
As I fear there maybe an issue with your JFFS partition...

Hmm, the screen resets during the usage of the installer, and I won't be able to copy certain output. Is there a way to redirect/separate output into a log as well?
Yes I did a proper full reset before upgrading, including the WPS reset before and after upgrading to Merlin. Also it was brand new (two weeks old).

Honestly, I'd rather not. 386.2 is extremely stable for me and I'm completely happy with the AX58U right now.@panni , as per this observation, try using it without haveged installed.

I'll explicitly try without installing haveged again, but I think I already tried that.

With out further info I have no way to know what is the root cause of your problem as i am not in possession of a rtax58u. This issue evades all my test (it seems exclusive to this newer model). I am not even having this issue on a gt ax 11000. Or a rtac68u.
I believe your jffs2_enable should be reporting a 1 value if it is enabled properly, it does on all the routers i have tested.

Try running
nvram set jffs2_enable=1 && nvram set jffs2_scripts=1 && nvram commit
inside your ssh terminal before running the installer script
Just did that, nvram get
jffs2_enable now returns 1.I tried to replicate exactly what you've done above, there's the log:

Something appears to be a miss with some of these newer supported routers. Some google searching suggest this is a kernal issue where it is built with out the CONFIG_MULTIUSER=y. I am still unable to replicate this issue.
