Closes: #2264. - Set apache-auth fail2ban jail's backend to read from journal instead of syslog. Tweak the regex matching to deal with the custom format. - Adjust the apache error log format to remove unnecessary timestamp. It causes problems for fail2ban regex matching. - There was an error in the earlier patch the make apache log into journald. Configuration for TLS sites still contained ErrorLog and CustomLog directives. Remove them. - There is also file with CustomLog directive that logs for other vhosts. - For some reason, for custom error log format, %T - thread ID did not work and had to switch to %{g}T global thread ID. - Added journalmatch to improve performance by matching the regular expressions against only specific journal entries. Tests: - In a container, apply the patch, run setup and start FreedomBox. Apache app is updated to new version. Apache web server is reloaded. The other-vhosts-access-log configuration is disabled. - On a production machine, remove the directives in freedombox-tls-site-macro.conf and disabling other-vhosts-access-log stopped the logging into /var/log/apache2/ directory. - Use TTRSS /tt-rss-app/ URL and type wrong credentials for 10 times. The client is banned for 10 minutes. Repeat after unban. Client is banned again. 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.
