Matrix requires valid certificates for federation with other servers from version 1.0 onward. If the FreedomBox server already has LE cert and private key, copy them into /etc/matrix-synapse - Add certificate renewal hooks for Matrix Synapse. Reusing the certificate renewal mechanism built for ejabberd with matrix-synapse as well. One notable difference is that Matrix Synapse doesn't support switching the domain name or dropping the Let's Encrypt certificate. - Use self-signed certificate if there is no LE certificate. Matrix Synapse server startup fails if the files homeserver.tls.crt and homeserver.tls.key are missing. - Copy Apache's snakeoil certificates to /etc/matrix-synapse when LE certificates are not available. Prefer LE certificates if available. - Display warning if no valid LE certificate is found. Signed-off-by: Joseph Nuthalapati <njoseph@thoughtworks.com>
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.
