[Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox doesn't appear on my network after installation

[franken.tunui at gmail.com]

Thank you, I'll probably give it a try in a couple days, if I get to understand everything...Do I just plug in a keyboard and screen to the Lime2? And last question, if I install to eMMC will I be able to uninstall everything from the eMMC later when a valid FreedomBox image is available?

I used an USB-serial cable because I have one, but using ethernet should also work.1/ install armbian following instructions from https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/*  download Armbian_5.65_Lime2_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.78.7z from  https://dl.armbian.com/lime2/Debian_stretch_next.7z* uncompress and copy it to SD card.* plug the USB-Serial adapter, run kermit* power the lime2, watch console logs while it boots* login (root/1234), and follow instructions. I created a user "seb", maybe I should have ctrl-c instead, because freedombox will also want to create a user.* plug the ethernet cable, watch the board get an ip using journaltlf -kf* update the OS:    apt update && apt upgrade* install to eMMC (use ext4 filesystem)    nand-sata-install # do not poweroff at the end    # clear the boot loader signature on the SD card    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8 count=1    poweroff* remove microSD card* power the board, watch logs on console, login (either from console or SSH),congrats, you're running (armbian flavor of) debian!2/ install freedombox, following instructions from https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian   sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install freedombox-setup   sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades #see below   sudo /usr/lib/freedombox/setup | tee freedombox-setup.log   last command failed with   [2018-11-11 22:17:54,758] plinth.actions ERROR    Error executing command - ['sudo', '-n', '/usr/share/plinth/actions/upgrades', 'enable-auto'], ,   Error: Could not configure unattended-upgrades.   until I ran "sudo touch /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades"reboot (once or twice, I'm not sure what happened) and plinth is now accessible using a web browser.3/ enjoy freedombox.At this point I noticed that syncthing is not available on this plinth version, and that armbian does not seem to provide buster images. I'm not sure what I'll do.
