- Currently, after the user arrives the 'next steps' page after completing the first setup, trying to refresh the page takes us away from the page to the index page. - Since this page lists a lot of steps, user can't be expected to memorize the contents of the page and perform them one after the another. Opening the links in popups instead of navigating away from page helps but not full solve the problem. - If the page is a regular page and not part of the first step wizard, this page is a simple Django page. It can be refreshed. Back button can be used to view the page after navigating from it again. Tests: - On stable and testing containers, remove the sqlite3 file and start the service. This will trigger the first setup wizard. As a last step of the wizard, the 'setup complete! Next steps:' page is shown. - Refreshing the page works. - Navigating away from the page and using the back button to return to it works.

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.
