Closes: #2102. - Wiki: Unchanged behavior is to have discussion pages enabled. To post users must login. - Blog: Earlier behavior is to allow anonymous users to post comments. They go into the moderation queue when posted. This could lead to a lot of spam comments to moderate. New behavior is to allow posting comments only when logged in. - Blog: discussion => 0 does not effect comments. It is meant for discussion page on the blog's home page (and possibly other pages). Discussion on those pages is disabled by default. - The changes only apply to defaults. Everything can be changed from Setup page. Testing: - Test the above described behavior in Debian testing. - Debian stable testing was not done as the version of ikiwiki is that same as testing.

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.
