storage: Ignore errors resizing partition during initial setup
On Raspberry Pi 3B+ image, it was observed that resizing partition fails during
initial setup. Due to this, Apache, SSH and Plinth become unavailable. Since
resizing the partition is not a critical operation to perform to bring up
FreedomBox, it is safe it ignore the error. In these cases, the user will have
to the storage app and retry manually after bring prompted by low disk space
message.

Tests:

- Introduce deliberate error in expand partition operation. Modify code to
  always detect that partition can be expanded. Remove storage module from
  plinth_module table in plinth.sqlite3. Run plinth. Notice that storage setup
  is run but expanding partition fails. Even after expanding partition fails,
  storage module is fully setup. Plinth proceeds with starting web server and
  storage module is found in the plinth_module table of plinth.sqlite3.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)

The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.

Description

FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.

This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.

You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.

Getting Started

To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:

$ sudo apt install freedombox

Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.

For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
