- Try to mark class variables in component classes. - Leave typing hints generic, such as 'list' and 'dict' where content is usually not filled, too complex, or context is unimportant. - backups: Handle failure for tarfile extraction so that methods are not called on potentially None valued variables. - backups: Prevent potentially passing a keyword argument twice. - dynamicdns: Deal properly with outcome of urlparsing. - ejabberd: Deal with failed regex match - email: Fix a mypy compliant when iterating a filtered list. - tor: Don't reuse variables for different typed values. - tor: Don't reuse variables for different typed values. - operation: Return None explicitly. - operation: Ensure that keyword argument is not repeated. Tests: - Where only typing hints were modified and no syntax error came up, additional testing was not done. - `mypy --ignore-missing-imports .` run successfully. - Generate developer documentation. - Service runs without errors upon start up. - backups: Listing and restoring specific apps from a backup works. - backups: Mounting a remote backup repository works. - NOT TESTED: dynamicdns: Migrating from old style configuration works. - ejabberd: Verify that setting coturn configuration works. - email: Test that showing configuration from postfix works. - tor: Orport value is properly shown. - transmission: Configuration values are properly set. - users: Running unit tests as root works. - operation: Operation status messages are show properly during app install. - ./setup.py install runs 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.
