When installing the syncthing app, create a LDAP group named "syncthing-access" instead of "syncthing", because the app creates the "syncthing" system group to run the syncthing daemon. Duplicate group names can cause some ambiguity as described in #2008. - Rename the existing "syncthing" LDAP and Django group to "syncthing-access". - Update existing web shares to be accessible with new group name - Functional tests: Add tests to check access to the syncthing site with a user in the syncthing-access group and no group. - Functional tests: Scroll to the edit button before clicking. Fixes some test failures on a smaller browser window. Fixes #2008 Tests performed on Debian stable and testing: - Check that the existing "syncthing" group is renamed after upgrade: 1) Without patch applied, install syncthing, create a user in group "syncthing". 2) Apply patch, update Apache2 config file /etc/apache2/conf-available/syncthing-plinth.conf, reload Apache2, restart plinth. 3) Check that the created user is now in the "syncthing-access" group and can access /syncthing site. - Check that the app upgrade succeeds when there are no users in the syncthing group. - Create a web share accessible by the 'syncthing' group. Check that after the upgrade, the share is accessible to a member of syncthing-access group. - All the syncthing app tests pass.

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.
