- Merge actions is-disabled, get-frontend, get-kite and get-services into get-config. This improves the initial startup time for FreedomBox service and also the page load time for pagekite app. This also significantly simplifies the code. - Only use the pagekite service enabled status determine if pagekite is enabled. Don't use the configuration setting. - For custom services, provide additional data such as display URL from get-config action. This removes the need for additional processing prepare_service_for_display() and template tag create_pagekite_service_url. - Also reduce the number of times configuration is retrieved to 1 when loading the app view page and during startup of FreedomBox service. - Ensure that all keys of the configuration always present and use that to simplify some code. - Remove ContextMixin from view DeleteServiceView that does not need it. Use AppView and drop ContextMixin. Signed-off-by: Sunil Mohan Adapa <sunil@medhas.org> Reviewed-by: Veiko Aasa <veiko17@disroot.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.
