- Keep the description about app generic - Remove enable/disable option - Create a booleanfield to turn on/off popcon - Don't re-enable popcon during an update Tests: - When enabling/disabling the option, the `"PARTICIPATE"` value in `/etc/popularity-contest.conf` is changed to yes/no as expected. For reference see `/var/lib/dpkg/info/popularity-contest.templates` - When popcon option is enabled, running sudo sh -x /etc/cron.daily/popularity-context shows that execution was successful and data was submitted. Remove files /var/log/popularity-contest* and /var/lib/popularity-contest/lastsub if necessary. Gpg is used and encrypted data is what was submitted. - When popcon option is disabled, running sudo sh -x /etc/cron.daily/popularity-context shows that execution stopped because the option is disabled.

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.
