systemd-timesyncd service does not run if we have another NTP daemon installed or FreedomBox runs inside a container where the host manages the time. In this case, make the application as unmanaged - app can't be disabled, no app diagnostics is shown and enable/disable functional tests are skipped. Closes #1616 Tests performed: - Run FreedomBox inside a KVM virtualization module, check that systemd-timesyncd is running, datetime app can be disabled and all diagnostics and date_and_time functional tests pass. - Run FreedomBox inside a systemd-nspawn container, check that systemd-timesyncd is not running, datetime app can't be disabled, the diagnostics button is not shown and two date_and_time functional tests are skipped.

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.
