The latest version of miniflux can't connect to the database after a fresh installation. This is due to incorrect ownership of /etc/miniflux/database file which is owned by root (and correctly having the permissions 0600). After changes in bug #1078416, miniflux no longer runs as root user and instead runs as miniflux user. This user can't read the database file. The daemon silently falls back to using built in defaults and fails to connect to PostgreSQL database. This is originally caught by functional tests in FreedomBox's miniflux integration. Links: 1) https://bugs.debian.org/1081562 2) https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/miniflux/-/merge_requests/2 Tests: - Freshly install miniflux with the patch and the daemon is running. Ownership for the file /etc/miniflux/database is as expected. - Install miniflux without the patch. Daemon is not running. Apply patch and restart service. miniflux app is updated. Daemon is running. Ownership for the file /etc/miniflux/database is as expected. 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.
