In the event containers are being used on the server with images, attempting to auto-mounting loop devices could interfere with their operation. We currently don't have a use case where a user would want to auto-mount loop devices. Initially suggested in https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/freedombox/-/issues/1854 Tests performed: - Add a loopback device as follows and observe that is automatically mounted. dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test_disk bs=1M count=100 mkfs.ext4 /tmp/test_disk losetup loop0 /tmp/test_disk umount /dev/loop0 losetup -d /dev/loop0 - Add a loopback device as follows and observe that both partitions are mounted. dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test_disk bs=1M count=100 parted /tmp/test_disk mklabel gpt mkpart Part1 ext4 0% 50% mkpart Part2 ext4 50% 100% kpartx -avs /tmp/test_disk mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/loop0p1 mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/loop0p2 umount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 umount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 kpartx -dvs /tmp/test_disk - When --develop is removed or when code is modified to negate the not condition, the partitions are not auto-mounted in the above cases.

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.
