This reduces the number of writes to the disk improving disk longevity and IO performance. Note that systemd-journald is already very reasonable with how often it writes to the disk. It's flush interval is 5 minutes. Most users of FreedomBox are not expected to see logs. Those that see the logs do so for debugging purposes. Debugging can still be done if reboot does not occur. Users can change the logging mode to 'persistent' before debugging issues that require reboot. This makes debugging harder for non-reproducible bugs, but is, at present, considered an acceptable compromise. Tests: - On a fresh container, with the patch applied, config page shows 'volatile' as the logging mode. - On an container with changes not applied, start freedombox service. Then apply the patch and restart service. config app setup will be run. Config page shows 'volatile' as the logging mode.

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.
