- Merge backports functionality into upgrades module. - No need to enable systemd timer as dh_installsystemd automatically enables this during package installation and upgrade. - Use https:// and deb.debian.org for repository checking. When using Tor for package installations request the URL via Tor. - Make daily checking service more generic for all kind of future apt repository updates. - Force removal of repository file during purge to avoid failures. - Don't add contrib/non-free as backports is intended to be enabled for just the freedombox package and it is free. When the need arises, we can introduce contrib/non-free. This also eliminates an issue that adding these components doesn't work without the usage of tor. - Allow generate apt preferences file to avoid lintian complaining about its presence. Remove on purge. - Add unattended upgrades origin pattern to allow it to upgrade from backports repositories. Signed-off-by: Sunil Mohan Adapa <sunil@medhas.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.
