- Without new HTTP configuration mechanism, proper configuration of HA fails. This is because we don't setup the configuration before starting Home Assistant. Home Assistant only migrates the old configuration to new configuration format only on the first run. It also leaves a "repair" message to the user asking them to remove the 'http' section from the configuration file. - Write to the internal storage format of HA after verifying the version of the format. Writing through API is hindered by the lack of an API token (which apparently can't be obtained pragmatically). Tests: - Install without patches. configuration.yml contains http section. Home Assistant not work as HTTP configuration is not set. Apply patches and restart the service. The setup is run again. 'http' section in configuration.yml is removed. /var/lib/home-assistant-freedombox/config/.storage/http contains the required configuration keys with proper values. Home Assistant works (after domain selection). - Install freshly with patches. configuration.yml does not contain 'http' section. /var/lib/home-assistant-freedombox/config/ contains the necessary configuration changes. HA works after domain selection. Signed-off-by: Sunil Mohan Adapa <sunil@medhas.org> Reviewed-by: James Valleroy <jvalleroy@mailbox.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.
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.
