Freedombone consists of a set of bash scripts. There are a lot of them, but they're not very complicated. If you're familiar with the GNU/Linux commandline and can hack a bash script then you can probably add a new app or fix a bug in the system. There are no trendy development frameworks to learn or to get in your way.

Instead of having some tedious <i>Code of Conduct</i> which tries to micro-manage how folks communicate privately with each other this project has a set of guiding principles, which are as follows:
2016-10-13 00:03:59 +02:00
</p>
2017-07-18 11:23:10 +02:00
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Enable users to help themselves to provide their own personal software infrastructure.</li>
<li>Enable users to help each other to provide software infrastructure for a community.</li>
2017-07-18 12:19:32 +02:00
<li>Principle of self-management: apps should require miniumum configuration and maintain themselves as far as possible.</li>
2017-07-18 11:23:10 +02:00
<li>There should be no single point of failure. Assume that other servers can and will fail occasionally.</li>
2017-07-18 11:41:34 +02:00
<li>Minimum data retention. Only store the data which users actually want or need, and within apps implement the function which allows logging to be turned off.</li>
2017-07-18 11:23:10 +02:00
<li>Respect other users right to run their own stuff and have their own policies on their own hardware.</li>
<li>Remove as many intermediating organisations as possible. For example, Google tracking embedded within some Free Software apps.</li>
<li>No tollbooths, rent-seeking, gatekeepers or paywalls.</li>
2017-07-18 11:41:34 +02:00
<li>Maximize energy efficiency. No systems which fundamentally depend upon proof-of-work block solving or other compute-heavy methods. The target here is small single board computers.</li>

Suppose you have some internet application which you want to add to the system. To do this you need to create an app script which tells the system how to install/remove and also backup/restore. The script should be designed to work with the current stable version of Debian.
</p>
<p>
On an installed system the app scripts go into the directory:
2016-10-12 17:06:43 +02:00
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
2017-07-01 21:24:04 +02:00
<pre><code class="src src-bash">/usr/share/freedombone/apps
</code></pre>
2016-10-12 17:06:43 +02:00
</div>
<p>
and within the project repo they appear within the <i>src</i> directory. Your new app script should have the name:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
2017-07-01 21:24:04 +02:00
<pre><code class="src src-bash">freedombone-app-[myappname]
</code></pre>
2016-10-12 17:06:43 +02:00
</div>
<p>
The <i>myappname</i> value should not contain any spaces and will appear in the list of available apps.
</p>
<p>
An example template for an app script is shown below. Copy this and add whatever variables and configuration you need. Search and replace <i>myappname</i> with your own.
</p>
