- The following messages was seen on the ddns.freedombox.org server:
"Unserviceable IP address from <ipv6_address>: user <username>.fbx.one - IP:
<ipv6_address>". This is due to code that checks for validity of incoming IP
address and fails. The current configuration only handles IPv4 address. Even if
this restriction is lifted, GnuDIP code does not contain code to add/remove AAAA
records.
- Fix this by forcing GnuDIP HTTP update requests to go on IPv4.
Tests:
- Copy the code for _request_get_ipv4() into a python3 console and run
_request_get_ipv4('https://ddns.freedombox.org/ip'). Do this on a dual stack
machine with both public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Only IPv4 address returned.
Changing the AF to AF_INET6 returns only the IPv6 address.
- Take a test DDNS account offline. Configure it in FreedomBox stable VM. The IP
address is properly updated.

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.
