storage: Make partition resizing work with parted 3.3
On Raspberry Pi 3B+ image, it was observed that resizing partition fails during
initial setup. Due to this, Apache, SSH and Plinth become unavailable. This is
due newer version of parted 3.3 (Debian testing/unstable) which does not work
with ---pretend-input-tty option as previously expected of parted 3.2 (Debian
buster).

Fix the problem by sending answers to promoted questions via stdin instead of
via command line. This solution works on both versions of parted, i.e., 3.2 and
3.3.

Tests:

- On a freshly built Raspberry Pi 3B+ unstable image the problem is
  reproducible. Running expand partition fails repeatedly.

- Downgrade version of parted to 3.2 observe that the expanding operation runs
  fine. Upgrade to version parted 3.3 again.

- Apply the patch on the action script. Re-run expanding partition and observe
  that the problem is resolved. The version of parted is 3.3.

- Downgrade the version of parted to 3.2. Downsize the partition, re-run
  expanding partition.

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.
