Add a dispatcher script to NetworkManager to configure B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced interfaces. This quite a bit hacky at it is triggered for network connections that have the keyword "BATMAN" in them. The proper way to implement this is as a core change in NetworkManager itself (as it lacks plugins). It is done is the hope that it will garner some more interest in FreedomBox for mesh networks. Currently, it is possible to create a BATMAN mesh network and shared existing internet connections on it. Other boxes can then join this mesh network and use that internet connection. Known issues: - Very unintuitive setup process. First create a connection with device a Wi-Fi device, mode as ad-hoc, with a known frequency and BSSID. The name of the connection should have contain BATMAN in it. It should also have IPv4 method as disabled. Second connection should be created for 'bat0' interface after the first on is successful. It can be with method 'shared' for sharing internet connection and doing DHCP requests or 'auto' for aqcuiring IP address from another node in the mesh network. - Untested for joining existing mesh networks. - Requires configuring two network connections and the second one needs to be manually enabled after the first one is successfully activated.
Plinth
Plinth - a web front end for administering 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.
Plinth is a web interface to administer 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 from Plinth. Plinth also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about Plinth on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
