From a8d499cfe9ccf1b83a826634211ddea8bcc3f37d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Gesellchen Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 21:57:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs(telnet): document Docker fallback when telnet is not installed Users on systems without a local telnet binary (modern macOS, Windows without OptionalFeatures, minimal Linux distros) need a workable recipe to reach the speaker's port-17000 shell. Add a one-line docker run snippet that uses busybox-extras telnet inside an alpine container, parameterised by the target speaker IP. Placed at the top of the reference page so a reader who lands there asking "how do I run telnet?" sees the fallback before the command listings.
