Closes: #1782. This restores the API to the earlier behavior of ignoring errors when firewalld is not running. This may not be the best approach however. - Ignore errors on all operations when firewalld is not running. This include enable/disable service, list interfaces of a zone, get service ports and get enabled service. - Log errors when firewalld is not running. - ALREADY_ENABLE and NOT_ENABLED errors already ignored during enable/disable service operations respectively. Tests successfully executed: - Turn off firewalld and perform following operations. They should all log an error that firewalld is not running. - Visit app page of an app that works only on internal networks such as Privoxy. It should show that there are no internal networks. - Run diagnostics of an app. It should show ports for a service as empty list. - Enable/disable an app, it should enable/disable without failure. - Visit firewall app page. It should show that firewalld is not running. - Perform all the about operations without error message showing up and with expected results.

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.
