Closes: #707 Helps: #1570 - Network Manager's 'shared' connections use port 53 on those interfaces. Bind by default also listens on them if possible. In some corner cases, this could lead to a clash. This patch fixes to cases by making sure bind does not listen on IP address likely used by Network Manager's 'shared' connections. If user custom configures address, they will need to update the bind configuration accordingly. - App version increment is not necessary because in this release cycle we have already incremented it once. Tests: - Install without patch. Increment the app version number (and the version number in the privileged script). Notice that bind app setup is run again. 'listen-on' line is inserted into the configuration file as expected. - Increment the version numbers again and a second 'listen-on' line is not inserted. - Without patch, on a machine with two network interfaces, start a 'shared' network connection. Start bind. Notice the error that bind could not listen on the shared network IP address. - Without patch, on a machine with two network interface, start bind while 'shared' network connection is configured with just the IP address. Start bind and it will listening on the IP address with shared network IP address. Configure a shared connection and it fails to start. - Apply the patch. Start 'shared' network connection. Start bind and notice that bind does not attempt to listen on that shared network IP address and does not print error message as well. - Apply the patch. Start bind while 'shared' network connection is configured with just the IP address. Bind does not attempt to listen on that shared network IP address. Start the shared network connection. It start without issues. 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.
