Duncan's suggestion was extremely helpful! Here's a log of what I did but
*why am I Forbidden from accessing plinth?*The setup log is at
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8909568/freedombox-setup.log.txt
NOTE: There's nothing private on this server. In case the issue is subtle
or someone wants to play with the Digital Ocean droplet, I've taken a
Snapshot and am happy to send the passwords to anyone that asks directly. I
will restore from my last snapshot and change the passwords when the
problem is resolved.

Digital Ocean does not do debian unstable. Need to upgrade from 8.2 via
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
-
Digital Ocean MyAS <https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/8982455>
512 MB Memory / 20 GB Disk / NYC2 162.243.48.241 root password: <ask
agropper at healthurl.com>
-
adduser fbx / Password: <ask agropper at healthurl.com>
-
ssh fbx at 162.243.48.241 works but won’t sudo
-
Do:
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/18063/debian-8-1-0-jessie-sudo-fix-not-installed-by-default
-
ssh fbx at 162.243.48.241 works
-
Changing to Debian unstable to prepare for FreedomBox
-
via Duncan: You can upgrade using instructions from
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
-
in /etc/apt/ sudo nano sources.list and replace all jessie with
testing
-
run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ; accept issue N default and
config Keep default
-
Reboot then check with cat /etc/debian_version - reports stretch/sid
-
Make a Digital Ocean Snapshot
-
sudo shutdown now
-
Use the DO Control Panel to create a Snapshot
-
Install FreedomBox per https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian
-
sudo apt-get update
-
sudo apt-get install freedombox-setup accept default to ask on restart
-
sudo /usr/lib/freedombox/setup | tee freedombox-setup.log
-
Needed to delete the public key in /Users/adrian/.ssh/known_hosts
-
ssh as fbx - reboot
- http://162.243.48.241 redirects to http://162.243.48.241/plinth but
reports Forbidden - stuck!
-
Make another Digital Ocean Snapshot
Thank you!!!
