- This app is useful for people who can connect a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse to their FreedomBox. - Later this app allow a headless FreedomBox to be used as a remote desktop server. Users will be able to connect and access desktop applications from LAN or WAN. - No functional tests as they will likely fail in CI and container setups. Tests: - In a VM, install the app. Installation succeeds. - Disabling the app makes systemd switch to multi-user.target shutting down any service that any mean for GUI such as gnome-remote-desktop.service. Graphical login is not shown on the VM's virtual monitor. - Enabling the app make systemd switch to graphical.target and all the services are started again. Graphical login is shown on the VM's virtual monitor. - Login to desktop using VM's graphical terminal works. Settings, apps, browser etc. work.

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.
