[Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox Weekly Unstable Image 2012.0706 Available

[Nick M. Daly]

Hi folks, welcome to the fifth weekly FreedomBox test image and progress
report.

This image is designed to allow anyone to test the current state of the
FreedomBox.  However, it's not yet a complete privacy solution, so you
should rely on other, more established, solutions until we produce a
stable release.  This is not a stable or complete release.

The image is available at:

    https://www.betweennowhere.net/tracker/freedombox-unstable.torrent

    https://www.betweennowhere.net/tracker/freedombox-unstable.tar.bz2


Tonight's image was produced with:

    $ make weekly-card


The image includes several FreedomBox-related projects.  The changes are
changes made by project contributors in the last week that have made it
into the test image.  The outstanding TODOs are the changes needed
before the beta-release is complete.  If you'd like to contribute in any
way, fork and send me a pull request.

Freedom Maker: https://github.com/nickdaly/freedom-maker

Changes:

  - When he has time, Bdale is upstreaming a bunch of FM changes,
    including the weekly-card target and "projects", described below. :)

  - External projects can now hook into the image building process, see
    ``freedom-maker/bin/projects``. It's nothing more than a script that
    runs during the image build process that serves as a great
    playground for you to hook your project into.  A few projects
    already live there as examples.

Outstanding TODOs:

  - Build the first run config/setup.
  - The setup process generates keys for user.
  - Setup generates keys for the box itself.
  - Turn DHCP on by default (on first boot).
  - Enable Wireless Access Point (WAP) by default.

Plinth: https://github.com/nickdaly/plinth

Outstanding TODOs:

  - Turn DHCP on/off through Plinth
  - Select DHCP or Static IP in Plinth
  - Integrate basic OpenVPN settings into Plinth
  - Integrate Dnsmasq into Plinth
  - Point "fbx" and "freedombox" URLs to the Plinth UI
  - Integrate FreedomBuddy into Plinth.
  - Hook FreedomBuddy into OpenVPN.
  - Hook FreedomBuddy into SSH.

FreedomBox Privoxy: https://github.com/nickdaly/freedombox-privoxy

Outstanding TODOs:

  - Privoxy should use the released HTTPS Everywhere regexp.
  - Add enabling and disabling Privoxy to the Plinth UI.

PlugServer Setup: https://bitbucket.org/nickdaly/plugserver

Outstanding TODOs:

  - Integrate into Freedom Maker.

With SQLite: https://github.com/nickdaly/withsqlite
