dynamicdns: Allow updating both IPv4 and IPv6 records together
- Change the IPv6 checkbox into an option to select from IPv4 only, IPv6 only,
or IPv4 and IPv6. Update functional tests.

- Add type hints everywhere.

- Separate out the generic URL update method to its own module. Add unit tests.

- Migrate old configuration to new configuration on first read.

- Store multiple IP addresses in the status. Support showing old status format
of single IP address as well. Show multiple IP addresses in the status table.

- Handle errors during update using exceptions for clearer code.

- For generic URL based updates, capture return code, stdout and stdin in error
message.

Tests:

- Adding a new GnuDIP domain leads to configuration setting ip_type = ipv4

- When adding a new dynamic domain, when generic option is selected IP Address
  Type is shown. When GnuDIP is selected, the field is hidden.

- IP Address Type field is as expected. Options and description are as expected.

- When a new domain is added for generic domain, the value of ip_type is set as
  expected. Changing the value to other values works. Configuration is updated
  as expected. Option values and description are as expected.

- The column for IP Address is now 'IP Addresses'. When multiple IP addresses
  are present in the status, they are shown in multiple lines in the tables as
  <pre>. When no IP addresses are present, a '-' is shown in the column.

- When generic domain update fails, subprocess failure code, stderr and stdout
  are shown in the error message.

- Unit tests work.

- Functional tests work.

- After 5 minute period, attempts are made to update the domain

- For GnuDIP and generic method:

  - IP address lookup works for IPv4 and IPv6.

  - IP address updates works for IPv4 (tested) and IPv6 (untested).

  - In 'both' configuration, when IPv6 update fails, IPv4 still succeeds.

  - Updates are skipped if the record is up-to-date.

  - Successful updates are performed otherwise.

  - Wrong password leads to proper error being shown.

- When the old status is stored, it is updated during read and proper status is
  shown.

- When configuration has old use_ipv6 key, then it is migrated when newer
  version of the service is started. True value is converted as 'ipv6', False
  value is converted as 'ipv4'. 'null' key is properly removed.

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.
