- Don't ship the file preferences file as this is a violation of the Debian policy. Lintian throws a hard error that can't be overridden. Remove the lintian override. Remove this file using maintainer scripts when upgrading from all version below 20.5. - The preferences file is now renamed to 50freedombox4.pref. - Instead write the file when the app is getting setup (on each new version). - Don't run the setup code on daily timer, instead run the code when the app upgrades. This ensures that as soon as freedombox package is upgraded and run, the new preferences file is created instead of waiting for the daily timer to run. - From now on when the preferences change, we will increment the version number of the upgrades app. Change the setup() for the app so that it does not re-enable automatic upgrades every time setup() is run.

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.
