- A freshly installed FreedomBox can be hijacked by a third party and an admin
account can be created which can be used to inject malware or simply take over
the instance. Password protecting the firstboot step is a good way to avoid
this. A secret will be displayed to the user as soon as the Plinth package
is installed, which they have to enter during firstboot welcome step. Also,
writing this to a file in plinth's home in case the user loses it.
- This protection is not applicable for images built by freedom-maker and for
Amazon Machine Images.

- Fix major regression so that steps can submitted multiple times in
case of errors.
- Don't serve the welcome page (and other pages) only once. Show it
until action is an taken. This does not apply to the final step.
- Eliminate all coupling of one first boot step on another.
- Move first boot helper methods to __init__.py instead of middleware as
it is more generic than middleware.
- Implement caching the first boot state to avoid an SQL query on every
page load. The down side is that if first boot state is modified in
the backend DB outside Plinth, Plinth will need to be restarted to
catch the modified value.
- Mark some methods as private.
- Refactor middleware code for slightly more simplicity.
- Don't show sidebar in pagekite first boot step. Set width like other
pages.
- As discussed in the first boot redesign proposal.
- Images are taken from Tango icon set, GNOME icons or created.
- Responsive, works for very small widths also.
- First cut, special cases of network connectivity are not handled.
- Setting a new hostname is not one of the most buring issues to be take
care of during the setup process.
- Also, most likely the user will access the FreedomBox machine using
mDNS hostname such as freedombox.local. Changing the hostname mid
setup might have consequences that need to thought about properly.
The package license (AGPL3+) implicitly indicates the license of each
file. However, it is desirable to have license headers in each file.
This is the case for many prominent projects like GNU project, Mozilla
etc.
