Fixes #2158. When 'systemctl show' is used see the ConditionResult property, the value is correct only when the unit has been started. When the unit is not running but can run, ConditionResult has a value of 'no' leading to an incorrect result. This in turn leads to _is_time_managed() returning incorrect value once the service has been stopped. FreedomBox would have noted that daemon can be enabled/disabled during startup while during attempts to enable it the action script will think that service can't be enabled/disabled. Fix this by using a better approach to detect when the service can run. Newer versions of systemd (likely >=250) have the ability to run 'systemd-analzye condition --unit=systemd-timesyncd.service' which have been ideal to detect this. However, --unit option is not available in older versions. Use systemd-virt-detect (part of systemd package) to detect for containers instead. Tests: - Boot the machine and run datetime functional tests - User interface should not show enable/disable button for the app in container but show in VM. - Running first setup (after removing /var/lib/plinth/plinth.sqlite3) should work on container and VM. - Run above tests on a container and on a VM 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.
