- Ignore errors while trying to expand a file path list into its .d components path list. - Ignore errors when reading shortcuts fails a file for any reason. - Errors when reading configuration file already ignored. os.path.isfile() and configparser.Configparser.read() do not raise an exception under any circumstances. Analysis: Regression in 20.12 reported at https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/fb-20-12-solved-plinth-fails-to-start-due-to-new-frontpage-py-shortcuts-and-filesystem-permissions/994/4 - freedom-maker creates /var/lib/freedombox/ with mode 755 as root but this only applies for disk images. - freedombox.postinst, networks, apache check for the existence of /var/lib/freedombox/is-freedombox-disk-image . - Samba creates /var/lib/freedombox with mode 755 as root. - Backups creates /var/lib/freedombox/borgbackup but not the parent directory? - Shortcuts are now read from /var/lib/freedombox/. Tests performed: - Create directories /var/lib/freedombox and /etc/freedombox with permission set to 750. In case of configuration, an early warning message is printed and in case of shortcuts warnings are printed but service starts properly. Changing the permission to 755 removes the warnings. - Ensure 755 permission on above two directories. Create non-empty files custom-shortcuts.json and freedombox.config with permissions 640. In case of config no warning is printed (silently ignored) and in case of shortcuts, warning is printed that file could not be read but service starts properly. Changing the permission to 644, no warnings are printed. Signed-off-by: Sunil Mohan Adapa <sunil@medhas.org> Reviewed-by: James Valleroy <jvalleroy@mailbox.org>
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.
