This section is specific to the Beaglebone Black hardware. If you're not using that hardware then just skip to the next section.
2014-10-26 23:03:55 +01:00
< / p >
< p >
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
To get started you will need:
< / p >
< ul class = "org-ul" >
< li > A Beaglebone Black
< / li >
< li > A MicroSD card
< / li >
< li > Ethernet cable
< / li >
< li > Optionally a 5V 2A power supply for the Beaglebone Black
< / li >
< li > Access to the internet via a router with ethernet sockets
< / li >
< li > USB thumb drive (for backups or storing media)
< / li >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< li > One or more domains available via a dynamic DNS provider, such as < a href = "https://freedns.afraid.org/" > https://freedns.afraid.org/< / a >
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / li >
< li > A purchased domain name and SSL certificate (only needed for Red Matrix)
< / li >
< li > A laptop or desktop machine with the ability to write to a microSD card (might need an adaptor)
< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
You will also need to know, or find out, the IP address of your internet router and have a suitable static IP address for the Beaglebone on your local network. The router should allow you to forward ports to the Beaglebone (often this is under firewall or "advanced" settings).
< / p >
< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
You can either install from a debian package or manually as follows:
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< div class = "org-src-container" >
2015-01-18 22:06:12 +01:00
< pre class = "src src-bash" > sudo apt-get install git dialog
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
git clone https://github.com/bashrc/freedombone
< span class = "org-builtin" > cd< / span > freedombone
sudo make install
< / pre >
< / div >
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
Plug the microSD card into your laptop/desktop and then run the < b > freedombone-prep< / b > command. For example:
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / p >
< div class = "org-src-container" >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< pre class = "src src-bash" > freedombone-prep -d /dev/sdX --ip freedombone_IP_address --iprouter router_IP_address
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / pre >
< / div >
< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
where /dev/sdX is the device name for the microSD card. Often it's /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc, depending upon how many drives there are on your system. The script will download the Debian installer and update the microSD card. It can take a while, so be patient.
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / p >
< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
When the initial setup is done follow the instructions on screen to run the main freedombone command.
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00

Before running the freedombone command you will need a few things.
< / p >
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00

< li > Ethernet connection to an internet router
< / li >
< li > It is possible to forward ports from the internet router to the system
< / li >

If you have existing GPG keys then copy the .gnupg directory onto the system.
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00

2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00

The interactive server configuration setup is recommended for most users. On the system where freedombone is to be installed create a configuration file.
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< div class = "org-src-container" >
< pre class = "src src-bash" > ssh username@freedombone_IP_address
su
2015-01-18 22:06:12 +01:00
apt-get install git dialog
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
git clone https://github.com/bashrc/freedombone
< span class = "org-builtin" > cd< / span > freedombone
make install

< / div >
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
Now the easiest way to install the system is via the interactive setup.
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / p >
< div class = "org-src-container" >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< pre class = "src src-bash" > freedombone menuconfig

< / pre >
< / div >
< p >
2015-01-21 21:18:10 +01:00
You can select which variant you wish to install and then enter the details as requested. A video of the install sequence can be < a href = "./installer.ogv" > seen here< / a > .

If you don't want to install interactively then it's possible to manually create a configuration file as follows:
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / p >
< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
On the system where freedombone is to be installed create a configuration file.
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / p >
< div class = "org-src-container" >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< pre class = "src src-bash" > ssh username@freedombone_IP_address
su
apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/bashrc/freedombone
< span class = "org-builtin" > cd< / span > freedombone
make install

< / pre >

< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
Add the following, and set the values as needed.
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00

< / div >
< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
Both of the IP addresses are local IP addresses, typically of the form 192.168.x.x, with one being for the system and the other being for the internet router.
< / p >
< p >
Save the configuration file and exit from your editor.
< / p >
< p >
Now you can begin the installation. If you are doing this on a Beaglebone Black:
< / p >
2014-12-20 12:07:34 +01:00
< div class = "org-src-container" >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< pre class = "src src-bash" > freedombone --bbb -d [default domain name] -u [username] --ddns [dynamic DNS provider domain] --ddnsuser [dynamic DNS username] --ddnspass [dynamic DNS password]
2014-12-20 12:07:34 +01:00
< / pre >
2014-10-26 21:55:12 +01:00
< / div >
2014-12-20 12:07:34 +01:00
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< p >
Or on any other system don't include the < b > – bbb< / b > option.
< / p >
2014-12-20 12:07:34 +01:00
< div class = "org-src-container" >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< pre class = "src src-bash" > freedombone -d [default domain name] -u [username] --ddns [dynamic DNS provider domain] --ddnsuser [dynamic DNS username] --ddnspass [dynamic DNS password]
2014-12-20 12:07:34 +01:00
< / pre >
< / div >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< p >
2015-01-21 21:18:10 +01:00
The above command should be run in the same directory in which your configuration file exists. You can use any of your domains as the default one, but typically the default domain is the same as the one for your wiki.
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< / p >
2014-12-20 12:07:34 +01:00
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< p >
Also see the manpage for additional options which can be used instead of a configuration file. If you don't specify a variant type with the final option then everything will be installed. If you have a < b > freedombone.cfg< / b > file then it should be in the same directory from which the < b > freedombone< / b > command is run.
< / p >
2014-12-20 12:07:34 +01:00
< / div >
< / div >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
< div id = "outline-container-unnumbered-6" class = "outline-2" >
< h2 id = "unnumbered-6" > Post-Setup< / h2 >
< div class = "outline-text-2" id = "text-unnumbered-6" >
< p >
Setup of the server and installation of all the relevant packages is not quick, and depends upon which variant you choose and your internet bandwidth. Allow about three hours for a full installation on the Beaglebone Black. On the Beaglebone installation is in two parts, since a reboot is needed to enable the hardware random number generator and zram.
< / p >
< p >
When done you can ssh into the Freedombone with:
< / p >
< div class = "org-src-container" >
< pre class = "src src-bash" > ssh username@domain -p 2222
< / pre >
2014-12-20 12:07:34 +01:00

< p >
2015-01-18 21:19:09 +01:00
Any manual post-installation setup instructions or passwords can be found in /home/username/README. You should remove any passwords from that file and store them within a password manager such as KeepassX.
< / p >
< p >
On your internet router, typically under firewall settings, open the following ports and forward them to your server.
