Hi Michael,

Thanks for your indications.

I tried to simply follow what was written in the examples given under
the text fields at Public Visibility (PageKite):
Server Domain: pagekite.net (Select your pagekite server (Which is
that?). Set "pagekite.net" to use the default pagekite.net server. )
Server port: 80 (Port of your pagekite server (default: 80) )
Kite name: Example: mybox.pagekite.me
Kite secret: a_secret

I ticked the box with "Enable PageKite" and chose http and https at
"Standard Services"...
All of the above didn't make the Kite fly :)
(http(s)://myname.pagekite.me - server not found).

The thing is that I waited for some response to my problem, but than I
just started fulling around with settings, custom services, mixed with
creating an account to pagekite.net, running pagekite from terminal etc.
and now it works, but I don't know anymore what I did, and what actually
the freedomox did....so the log is a mess. If u still want, I can link
to it, but now (http(s)://myname.pagekite.me works

Yes, in the PageKite documentation they are referred as "sub-kites" and
it can be: for http only: "myapp.myname...." or for http(s):
"myapp-myname" . In the "Custom services" one can only set: "Protocol"
and ports, but not names, so I don't see how does it work... (I also
tried it, but I don't know what ports to choose. the ones i used didn't
work)

Conclusion:
I made it work, but it didn't work from Plinth (I have the last version
of 0.9).
Even though the interface is simple and nice, it's not yet intuitive.
For example:
1.Select your pagekite server (Which is that?). Set "pagekite.net" to
use the default pagekite.net server. ) It's confusing, is PageKite
running only on Freedombox or do I also need an account at pagekite.net?
2.PageKite - "Custom Servcies"-is it to create a "sub-kite"? how can I
enter the name of the sub-kite?

Final point, I think Freedombox is an amazing project and I thank the
people working on it, I finally can have my own server. The above
description is made with constructive feedback in mind...I hope I could
do more for the project. One thing that I find tremendously valuable
when it comes to usability, is video screen recordings. It only takes 3,
4 minutes (for a knowledgeable person) to record the process of using
and creating an account with basic explanations. It's much more
accessible for a newbe and much less scary than text documentation.
