This is the first implementation for obtaining certificates from Let's
Encrypt. Following the features and limitations.
- Requires manual operation.
- Registrations are done anonymously.
- Supports revoking and re-obtaining certificates. Does not have a way
to show if a certficate is already renewed.
- Automatic renewal is not available.
- Details messages in case of errors.
- Has ability to switch to testing mode by using LE's staging servers.
- Sets up Apache configuration for the domain and enables/disables it.
When certificates are not available for a domain, default website
configuration is used. When certificates are available, separate
SSL website configuration for each domain is used.
- Many domain will work with a single IP address with the help of Server
Name Indication (SNI) which is supported by all modern browsers.
- Supports diagnostics on websites.
monkeysphere: Run publish as background task, allow user to cancel.
Small fixes to names module:
- Remove unused ugettext import.
- Change SERVICES to tuple.
- If a domain is not available for a service type, return None instead
of (translated) "Not Available".
- Rename get_services -> get_enabled_services.
- Authentication using client certificates. Extra password based
authentication for later.
- Auto setup of CA, server and client certificates.
- Provides a .ovpn profile for each user for easy setup.
- Use 4096 bit Diffie-Hellman parameters for better security. If this
takes to much time, reduce it to 2048 or 1024, at least during
debugging.
- Enable/disable ntpd from this module. Since ntpd has implications on
anonymity.
- Implement NTP diagonstics from freedombox-setup.
- Eventually provide ability to set date & time of the system.
- Eventually move timezone configuration to this module.
- It does not work on all the modules available.
- It does not reload Plinth after changes.
- As of now, there is not strong case for disabling modules in Plinth
making it unnecessary UI complication.
- Split into multiple small Debian packages is not yet implemented for
Plinth. The module expects to work on the Debian modules. When
smaller Debian packages are available perhaps we should consider using
packages.py library instead.
- There could be multiple applications for the same functions. Although
in the interface we should we show generic names like 'BitTorrent', we
could use specific names in the backend.
- There is already a bittorrent client: Transmission.
