- Keep a count of number of consecutive failures. Reset the count on a successful backup. - Keep the count for each repository. Tests performed: - Insert an exception into method for running a scheduled backup. - When the FreedomBox is run in develop mode, it attempts to take backups every 3 minutes. - It fails and shows the notification. Text is good. The error count is 1 and error text is same as exception text. Go to backups button redirects to backup page. - In another 3 minutes another attempt is made and count increments this time. - If the notification is dismissed, after another attempt is made, notification comes back with incremented count. - When the exception is removed and FreedomBox is restarted, schedule backup succeeds and notification is dismissed automatically. - When backup is deleted and exception is reintroduced, the notification comes back with count reset to 1.

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.
