- Fix major regression so that steps can submitted multiple times in case of errors. - Don't serve the welcome page (and other pages) only once. Show it until action is an taken. This does not apply to the final step. - Eliminate all coupling of one first boot step on another. - Move first boot helper methods to __init__.py instead of middleware as it is more generic than middleware. - Implement caching the first boot state to avoid an SQL query on every page load. The down side is that if first boot state is modified in the backend DB outside Plinth, Plinth will need to be restarted to catch the modified value. - Mark some methods as private. - Refactor middleware code for slightly more simplicity. - Don't show sidebar in pagekite first boot step. Set width like other pages.
Plinth
Plinth - a web front end for administering 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.
Plinth is a web interface to administer 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 from Plinth. Plinth also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about Plinth on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
