Closes #2092 On testing and unstable systems, /etc/os-release does not contain VERSION_ID. In this case, lsb_release will report the release as "n/a". For unstable, this means that backports can be enabled in development mode. When this happens, trixie-backports will be added as an apt repository. The repository already exists, so it does not cause any problem. Tests: - In stable container, backports can be enabled. - In stable container, dist-upgrade can be disable and enabled. - In stable container, in development mode, dist-upgrade can be started. - In testing container, backports cannot be enabled. - In testing container, dist-upgrade cannot be enabled or started. - In testing container, in development mode, backports can be enabled. - In testing container, in development mode, dist-upgrade cannot be started. - In unstable container, in development mode, backports can be enabled (as trixie-backports). - In unstable container, in development mode, dist-upgrade cannot be started.

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.
