Helps: #664. Currently, logs are written to disk twice, once by journald and once by rsyslog. rsyslog may log to multiple locations depending on the type of the log. To reduce disk I/O, disable rsyslog and rely solely on systemd journal. Place the code in config module as there is no better place for it currently without creating a new module. Can be sorted later. The following files under /var/log/ are no longer populated on FreedomBox. They will be rotated away over a few days. Use journalctl instead to view the messages: - syslog - messages* - auth.log* - debug* - daemon.log - kern.log - lpr.log - mail.log - mail.info - mail.warn - mail.err - user.log Tests performed: - On a machine with rsyslog running, run ./setup.py install and start FreedomBox service. This triggers the config app's setup. rsyslog is disabled and masked. systemd-journald is restarted. - Even when rsyslog is unmaked and enabled manually, systemd journald does not forward message to syslog anymore.

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.
