-There are many ways to contribute.
-
-# Software Testing
-Currently there isn't any CI system and with the increasing number of apps there is always the need to test on different or new hardware. Pick some hardware. Try installing the system onto it.
- * Are the instructions clear enough?
- * Were there any failures during the install?
- * Do any of the apps fail?
-Reporting any failures, either as issues or by any other method is very useful.
-
-# Physical Testing
-Testing of the mesh system in various environments. What's the maximum range for a given wifi adapter? What type of cantennas or reflectors work best on an ultra-low budget? Which wifi adapters have free software drivers? What are the simplest antenna designs which are quickest to make? Perhaps antenna advice or example deployment descriptions could be part of the documentation.
-
-# Documentation
- * Improving descriptions of processes or apps
- * Fixing spelling or typos
- * Adding any documentation which might be missing
- * Better screenshots for apps
- * Translations for the website, within the *doc* subdirectory.
- * Translations of the manpages with the *man* subdirectory.
-
-# Artwork
-The project doesn't have much of this. There are some desktop backgrounds within the *img/backgrounds* subdirectory which could be improved. Cute mascots and things like that can also help to attract interest. The mesh variant of the system has desktop icons which could also be better.
-
-# Security Auditing
-Looking for any obvious security mistakes, doing pentesting on an installed test system and reporting the results would be useful. There are already many STIG tests in the *tests* subdirectory, but having more wouldn't hurt.
-
-# Campaigning
-Ensuring that the internet doesn't become far less neutral than it already is. Encouraging ISPs not to have policies which ban people from running servers. Promoting and raising awareness that self-hosting is a thing which is actually useful. All of these activities are incredibly important to allow self-hosting to remain a viable possibility. ISPs are the bottleneck, and if they implement bad government mandated policies then it may become no longer practical or legal to run your own internet systems on your own hardware in your own home.
-
-# Adding more apps or maintaining existing ones
-Typically apps are pegged to a known good commit. One useful thing is to try recent commits and see if the app installs successfully. Do any new packages need to be installed, or old ones removed? See the developer's guide for how to add new apps to the system.
-
-# Code Audit
-It's all just bash scripts and the more eyeballs on it the more likely that mistakes will be found and fixed.
-
-# Blogging
-Just blogging about the project can help to inform people that decentralised systems exist and that they don't need to be trapped in the cloud services of $bigcorp. Even if you find some aspect of the project which sucks badly, blogging about it is one way to provide feedback which could lead to future improvements being made.

-# Freedombone "Code of Conduct"
-
-## Be respectful
-
-In any Free Software project with more than one participant inevitably there may be people with whom you may disagree, or find it difficult to cooperate. Accept that, but even so, remain respectful. Disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour or personal attacks, and a community in which people feel threatened is not a healthy community.
-
-## Assume good faith
-
-Freedombone Contributors have many ways of reaching our common goal of providing freedom respecting internet or mesh systems which may differ from your ways. Assume that other people are working towards this goal.
-
-## Be collaborative
-
-Freedombone is a moderately complex project, though nothing big and professional like GNU. It's good to ask for help when you need it. Similarly, offers for help should be seen in the context of our shared goal of improving the system.
-
-When you make something for the benefit of the project, be willing to explain to others how it works, so that they can build on your work to make it even better.
-
-## Try to be concise
-
-If you're submitting documentation then keep in mind that what you write once could be read by many other people. To avoid TL;DR keep it as short and concise as possible. This will also reduce the amount of translations effort needed.
-
-If you're discussing an issue or bug, try to stay on topic, especially in discussions that are already fairly large.
-
-## Be open
-
-Most ways of communication used within Freedombone (eg Matrix/XMPP) allow for public and private communication. Prefer public methods of communication for Freedombone-related messages, unless posting something sensitive.
-
-This applies to messages for help, too; not only is a public support request much more likely to result in an answer to your question, it also makes sure that any inadvertent mistakes made by people answering your question will be more easily detected and corrected.
-
-## No spamming
-
-Posting of adverts or other off-topic content in Matrix/XMPP or other public systems used by the project will be considered a violation of the code of conduct.
-
-## Respect others’ privacy
-
-No stalking, unwanted personal attention, or unwelcome revealing or speculating about personal details of others.
-
-In cases of sincere, good-faith curiosity about someone’s experience or identity, ask politely in a manner such that they will feel free to decline the request.
-
-## No hostile communication
-
-No insults, harassment (sexual or otherwise), condescension, ad hominem, threats, or other intimidation.
-
-Condescension means treating others as inferior. Subtle condescension still violates the Code of Conduct even if not blatantly demeaning.
-
-No stereotyping of or promoting prejudice or discrimination against particular groups or classes of people.
-
-In cases where criticism of ideology or culture remains on-topic, respectfully discuss the ideas.
-
-## In case of problems
-
-While this code of conduct should be adhered to by participants, we recognize that sometimes people may have a bad day, or be unaware of some of the guidelines in this code of conduct. When that happens, you may reply to them and point out this code of conduct. Such messages may be in public or in private, whatever is most appropriate. However, regardless of whether the message is public or not, it should still adhere to the relevant parts of this code of conduct; in particular, it should not be abusive or disrespectful. Assume good faith; it is more likely that participants are unaware of their bad behaviour than that they intentionally try to degrade the quality of the discussion.
-
-Serious or persistent offenders will be kicked from chat rooms and any of their subsequent patches will be unlikely to be upstreamed. In this context "serious" means that someone is causing others to feel unsafe or be unable to contribute, for whatever reason.
-
-This is not a big project and so there is no division of labor or special enforcement committee or bureaucratic process. Complaints should be made (in private) to the maintainer or chat room admin. The typical email address can be found in the source code headers. Preferably use GPG if you can, or XMPP with OpenPGP/OMEMO to bob@freedombone.net. XMPP messages are likely to get a quicker response.

-* Akaunting
-
-The Freedombone system isn't primarily aimed at companies or institutions, but if you're a one person company or freelancer then having the ability to run your own accounting system and keep the data private and also backed up is useful. Akaunting provides a nice web based system for small business accounts, and is also quite usable within a mobile web browser.
-
-* Installation
-Log into your system with:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
-#+end_src
-
-Using cursor keys and Enter key select *Administrator controls* and type in your password.
-
-Select *Add/Remove Apps* then *akaunting*. Enter the subdomain that you which to use, such as *accounts.mydomain.net*, and optionally a FreeDNS code.
-
-From the *Administrator control panel* select *Passwords* and look up the password for *mariadb*.

-* BDS Mail
-
-BDS Mail (aka "Brain Dead Simple Mail") is an optional addition to the existing email server which comes installed as default. It creates an extra folder within the Mutt client which allows you to send and receive email using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P][i2p]] as the transport layer. This solves the problem of being blocked by dubious systems and also the problem of user friendly email encryption. If you're behind a hostile firewall which you don't control and which blocks all ports, this system is still likely to work. You can use GPG as an additional encryption layer if you prefer, but it's not strictly necessary because you already have the i2p public key system to ensure end-to-end security.
-
-It's unlikely that many people will use this. If it's hard to persuade anyone to use GPG or Enigmail then it will be /next to impossible/ to persuade them to switch to BDS Mail unless they're already obsessive about technical security. However, this provides yet another option for reasonably secure communications if other methods fail or are untrustable.
-
-* Installation
-
-ssh into the system with:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-ssh myusername@mydomain.com -p 2222
-#+END_SRC
-
-Select *Administrator controls* then *Add/Remove Apps* then *bdsmail*. It may take a while to install, due to the creation of keys.
-
-After installation exit from *Administrator controls* back to the user control panel then select the option to *show your email address*. You will now have a new bdsmail address which ends with /.b32.i2p/. If you then select *Use Email* to run the Mutt email client you'll notice that you now have a folder called *i2p*. If you select that folder (move up and down with /CTRL+n/ or /CTRL+p/ and open with /CTRL+o/) you can then send email from your new address, or receive mail to it. Just like ordinary email, but with a more random-looking address.

-* Federated Wiki
-
-Federated wikis are a relatively new concept. There can be multiple copies of the same page on different servers and it's then easy to pick which version you prefer, or make something new. It's like wiki meets mashup meets federation, and so is different from many previous web paradigms and may take some recalibration of how you think the web should work.

-Log into your system with:
-

For more details on obtaining a domain and making it accessible via dynamic DNS see the [[./faq.html][FAQ]]. Typically the domain name you use will be a subdomain, such as /wiki.mydomainname.net/. It will need to be a domain which you have bought somewhere and own and not one of the FreeDNS subdomains, otherwise you won't be able to get a SSL/TLS certificate for it.
-
-
-* Usage
-First you'll need to get the login password, which can be found on the *Administrator control panel* under *Passwords* then *fedwiki*.
-
-Navigate to your wiki site then click on the *lock icon* at the bottom of the screen and enter the password. It should then appear unlocked. If you don't unlock then any edits you make won't be saved.
-
-There are a few things to know about using the federated wiki.
-
- * You can edit by clicking on the *wiki* button at the bottom of the screen
- * To edit a paragraph double click on it
- * To remove a paragraph just delete all of its text
- * Paragraphs can be dragged up and down to change their order, or moved between pages
- * To add a new paragraph use the *+* button
- * You can use left and right cursor keys to move through pages
- * To claim/fork a page from another server click on the flag icon
- * When done editing click on the *wiki* button again
- * Different versions of the same page on different servers are represented by boxes at the bottom right of the screen. You can double click on them to see the different versions, and use the flag icon to fork if you prefer that version

 GNU Social is typically referred to as a microblogging system, although with a maximum post length much longer than Twitter it's really a sort of federated community blog with a stream-based appearance which also supports markdown formatting.
 
 You can host your own GNU Social instance and then "/remote follow/" other users who may also be doing the same. With a federated structure this type of system is hard to censor or ban. Unlike Twitter, there are no bribed adverts pushed into your stream, and any trends happening are likely to be real rather than being manipulated by some opaque algorithm.
 
-You should regard anything posted to GNU Social as being /public communication/ visible to anyone on the internet. There is a direct messaging capability between users but it's not particularly secure, so for one-to-one messages stick to better methods, such as XMPP with OpenPGP/OMEMO or Tox.

-The biggest hazard with GNU Social is that it's part of a public federated communications system. This means that conversations and replies from other servers may end up in your "whole known network" stream. The internet being what it is, some of these could be undesirable. You can block individual users or entire domains by going to the *Administrator control panel* and selecting *Domain or User Blocking*, then adding or removing entries. This blocks domains at the firewall level and also at the level of database and file storage.

-There are two ways to get files onto the system: either via ssh or via a USB drive. File types can be *ogg, ogv, mp3 or mp4* format.
-
-It may take a while for the files to import, especially on a low power single board computer, since any mp3 or mp4 files will be converted to ogg or ogv. If you want to speed this up then you could do this conversion manually on a laptop with ffmpeg before storing files onto the USB drive or uploading them via ssh.
-
-** From a USB drive
-Create a directory on the USB drive named *icestream* and copy your files into there. Plug the drive into your server.
-
-Go to the *Administrator control panel*, select *App settings*, then *icecast*, then *Import stream files from USB drive*.
-
-** Via ssh
-Make a directory named *icestream* and copy your files into it. Then copy the directory to your server.
-
-#+begin_src bash
-scp -r -P 2222 icestream myusername@mydomain:/home/myusername
-#+end_src
-
-Log into your server with:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
-#+end_src
-
-Select *Administrator controls*, enter your password, then go to *App settings* followed by *icecast* and *Import stream files*. Choose the directory with up and down cursors to select.
-
-* Access controls
-By default anyone who happens to find your Icecast onion address can listen to your stream. If you only want it to be available to a few friends or family then you can add an extra login password.
-
-Go to the *Administrator control panel*, select *App settings*, then *icecast*, then *Enable login for stream users*. Take a note of the password and you can give that out to whoever needs access, preferably via an encrypted chat app or sneakernet. If you need to copy and paste then hold the shift key while highlighting the password.

You will then be asked for a domain name and if you are using FreeDNS also the code for the domain which can be found under *Dynamic DNS* on the FreeDNS site (the random string from "/quick cron example/" which appears after /update.php?/ and before />>/). For more details on obtaining a domain and making it accessible via dynamic DNS see the [[./faq.html][FAQ]]. Typically the domain name you use will be a subdomain, such as /kanban.mydomainname.net/. It will need to be a domain which you have bought somewhere and own and not one of the FreeDNS subdomains, otherwise you won't be able to get a SSL/TLS certificate for it.
-
-After the install has completed go to *Security settings* and select *Create a new Let's Encrypt certificate* and enter the domain name that you are using for KanBoard.

-* OpenPGP Key Server
-
-The /web of trust/ is a nice idea, but how trustable is it? If you take a look at how many OpenPGP key servers are out there then there are a two or three main ones and not much else. Can you trust those servers? Who is maintaining them and how often? Is any censorship going on? How hard would it be for adversaries to get implants onto them? In terms of technology this infrastructure is quite old and it could have been neglected for a long time. Once vigilant maintainers might have turned lazy and gotten lax with server security, or been recruited over to the dark side.
-
-For these kinds of reasons you might prefer to run your own web of trust infrastructure. In simple terms it's a database of GPG public keys which provides a way for users to /find out how to communicate with others securely via email/. You can meet in person and exchange public keys via sneakernet on USB drives, but most users of GPG don't do that. Instead they just download the public key for a given email address from one of the key servers.

-
-* How to use it
-Interaction with the web user interface is pretty minimal and obvious, but most likely you will also want to be able to use your keyserver from the commandline. To do that use the *--keyserver* option. For example to search for a key on your server:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-gpg --keyserver [your keyserver domain] --search-keys [email address]
-#+end_src
-
-
-Or to send a key to it:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-gpg --keyserver [your keyserver domain] --send-keys [email address or key ID]
-#+end_src
-
-Or to get a key:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-gpg --keyserver [your keyserver domain] --recv-keys [email address or key ID]
-#+end_src
-* Sync with other keyservers
-Key servers avoid censorship or errors by gossiping between each other and cross referencing the data. You can define which other servers your key server will gossip with by going to the *Administrator control panel*, selecting *App Settings* then *keyserver* then *Sync with other keyserver*.
-
-It's a good idea not to try to sync with the popular OpenPGP key servers, because those have gigantic databases which may make your server unstable and certainly would make it hard to create backups within a tractable amount of time. This option is mainly intended to sync with other Freedombone systems or small home servers within a particular community.
-* Possible problems
-OpenPGP key servers are not very well defended from flooding attacks. This means that an adversary could just upload a billion keys to destabilize the server and fill it with nonsense to make it unusable. Since key servers are /fully open to the public/ there isn't anything to prevent that from happening.
-
-Within the Freedombone system there is a watchdog script which keeps track of the key server database size, and disables the key server if that gets too large. Apart from the usual firewall and web server traffic rate limits, this is a crude but probably practical way of defending against flooding.
-
-If a flood attack does happen then really the only way to recover is to restore from the last known good backup, which can be done from the *Administrator control panel*.

-Matrix is a federated communications system, typically for multi-user chat, with end-to-end content security features. You can consider it to be like a modernized version of IRC chat where the crypto and access controls have been built in by default. At present Matrix is really only a creature of the clearnet and so there isn't any way to protect the metadata. Despite the talk of security the lack of metadata defenses make this really only suitable for public communications, similar to microblogging or public IRC channels.
-
-Another consideration is that since matrix operates on the usual HTTPS port number (443) this may make it difficult for ISPs or governments to censor this type of communications via port blocking without significant blowback.

-
-* Initial setup
-Go to the *Administrator control panel* and select *Passwords* then *matrix*. This will give you the password to initially log in to the system and you can change it later from a client app if needed.
-
-Install the *Riot* app from *F-droid* on a mobile device. You can then log in with your username and password, making sure to select a custom server and then entering your Matrix domain name for both the main server and identity server.
-
-Other client apps are available but are currently mostly only at the alpha stage. You can also install the [[./app_riot.html][Riot freedombone app]] if you need a user interface for desktops or laptops.
-
-* DNS setup
-It's recommended that you add an SRV record for Matrix to your DNS setup. How you do this will depend upon your dynamic DNS provider and their web interface. On FreeDNS on the subdomains settings in addition to the subdomain which you are using for the matrix server create an extra entry as follows:
-
-#+begin_src text
-Type: SRV
-Subdomain: _matrix._tcp
-Domain: [youdomain]
-Destination: 10 0 8448 [yourmatrixsubdomain]
-#+end_src
-
-You may also want to make another entry with the same settings but replacing *tcp* with *udp*.
-
-* Mobile app
-If you're using the Riot mobile app to access your Matrix homeserver then you can significantly improve battery performance by going to the *settings* and changing *Sync request timeout* to 30 seconds and *Delay between two sync requests* to 600 seconds. Also turning off *msgs in group chats* will help, since it will avoid getting a notification whenever a group chat event happens, which then wakes up the screen.

-With Mediagoblin you can host video and audio content in a similar manner to the proprietary systems such as YouTube and SoundCloud. This system supports free media formats such as /webm/, /ogv/ and /ogg/. Another similar system which might be better fitted for small servers is [[./app_peertube.html][PeerTube]], since it uses webtorrent to distribute video files. Webtorrent will only work with WebRTC enabled browsers though.
-
-When hosting media files you should take into consideration that since anyone on the internet can view your content then this could significantly increase your bandwidth usage and overall strain on the server. Also unless you are just hosting images then hardware such as the Beaglebone Black won't be powerful enough for a good user experience when either uploading or playing back videos. It's recommended that you use one of the more powerful quad (or more) core single board computers or an old laptop if you want to run Mediagoblin on it.

 In addition to voice it is also possible to do text chat via mumble. The security of this is pretty good provided that you do it via Plumble and Orbot on mobile, but compared to other options such as XMPP/Conversations or Tox the security is not as good, since the mumble server currently doesn't support forward secrecy.

-NextCloud is a system for file synchronisation and also has many other plugins for calendar, videoconferencing, collaborative document editing and federated file sharing. It's a lot more elaborate than Syncthing, but there may be situations where centralized control of your files on your server is better than a purely peer-to-peer approach (eg. if you need to remove a user's access to files).
-
-The videoconferencing plugin requires a browser with WebRTC support and so is unlikely to work in a Tor browser, but may still be a better option than using proprietary systems.
-
-* Operational considerations
-If your ISP or the government in your area is part of your threat model then NextCloud may not be the best choice for hosting files and [[./app_syncthing.html][Syncthing]] could be preferable. In the past the NextCloud company is known to have remotely scanned servers without permission and reported server admins who don't immediately update to the latest version of the software to their ISPs or to questionable government agencies. Depending upon where you are located such activities by the developer, which are not really in the spirit of independent self-hosting, could have very undesirable results.
-* Installation
-Log into your system with:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
-#+end_src
-
-Using cursor keys and Enter key select *Administrator controls* and type in your password.
-
-Select *Add/Remove Apps* then *nextcloud*. You will then be asked for a domain name and if you are using FreeDNS also the code for the domain which can be found under *Dynamic DNS* on the FreeDNS site (the random string from "/quick cron example/" which appears after /update.php?/ and before />>/). For more details on obtaining a domain and making it accessible via dynamic DNS see the [[./faq.html][FAQ]]. Typically the domain name you use will be a subdomain, such as /cloud.mydomainname.net/. It will need to be a domain which you have bought somewhere and own and not one of the FreeDNS subdomains, otherwise you won't be able to get a SSL/TLS certificate for it.
-
-* Initial setup
-Go to the *Administrator control panel* and select *Passwords* then *nextcloud*. This will give you the password to initially log in to the system and you can change it later from a client app if needed.
-
-With a browser navigate to the domain which you gave during installation and log in.

-This is a video hosting system similar to Mediagoblin but using webtorrent to help distribute the files to or between clients. This should be more practical for situations where a video becomes popular because the load is then spread across the network, with performance increasing with the number of nodes. However, the torrenting aspect of it only works with WebRTC enabled browsers and so this means it's unlikely to fully work with a Tor browser. Without WebRTC then from a user point of view it's effectively the same thing as Mediagoblin.

-
-Although PeerTube can handle a few formats *webm* is the currently recommended one. Other formats might not play in some browsers or on some libre distros.
-
-* Initial setup
-Navigate to your site and select *Signup* to create a new account. By default the maximum number of accounts on your system is limited to a small number so that millions of random internet users can't then begin uploading dubious content. After that it's pretty straightforward.
-
-If you wish it's possible to turn off further signups via the *Administrator control panel* under *App settings* for *peertube*.
-
-* Importing videos from YouTube/Vimeo/Dailymotion
-It's possible to import videos from the main proprietary video hosting sites. /Only do this if they're videos which you made, or if the license is Creative Commons/. Hosting arbitrary videos under nonfree licenses is likely to get you into trouble, and we know how that works out from the P2P wars of the 2000s (i.e. badly).
-
-Go to the *Administrator control panel*, select *App settings* then *peertube* then *Import videos from YouTube/Vimeo/Dailymotion*. Enter your PeerTube login details and then you may specify either the individual video URL or the channel URL if you want to import a whole channel.
-
-* Importing videos from your desktop
-The most convenient way to add new videos to PeerTube is if you have the *syncthing* app installed. Set up [[./app_syncthing.html][syncthing]] with a folder called ~/Sync in your home directory. Create a subdirectory called *~/Sync/peertube_upload*. Within that directory make a text file called *login.txt*. This will contain your PeerTube login details.
-
-The first line of login.txt should be your username, the second line should be the password and optionally the third line can contain the words *public* and/or *nsfw*, if you want to make imported videos immediately public or mark them as not suitable for work.
-
-Prepare your videos preferably in *webm* format. Other formats may be poorly supported, especially on libre distros. To minimize bandwidth usage try to keep your videos as small as possible. Giant videos with incredibly high resolution tend to result in a bad user experience. Often just converting your videos to *webm* using *ffmpeg* will keep the size down.
-
-Now copy or drag and drop your videos into the *~/Sync/peertube_upload* directory. Syncthing will sync to the server and automatically add the videos to PeerTube. Depending on how large the videos are this may take some time.
-
-Imported videos can be seen by logging into PeerTube, selecting *My account* then the *My videos* tab. You can then view them, add a description and select to make them public if you wish.

-/otr gen
-#+END_SRC
-
-Then to start a conversation using OTR:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-/otr start otherusername@otheruserdomain
-#+END_SRC
-
-or if you're already in an insecure chat with someone just use:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-/otr start
-#+END_SRC
-
-Set a security question and answer:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-/otr question "What is the name of your best friends rabbit?" fiffi
-#+END_SRC
-
-On the other side the user can enter:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-/otr answer fiffi
-#+END_SRC
-
-For the most paranoid you can also obtain your fingerprint:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-/otr myfp
-#+END_SRC
-
-and quote that.  If they quote theirs back you can check it with:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-/otr theirfp
-#+END_SRC
-
-If the fingerprints match then you can be pretty confident that unless you have been socially engineered via the question and answer you probably are talking to who you think you are, and that it will be difficult for mass surveillance systems to know the content of the conversation. For more details see [[https://www.profanity.im/otr.html][this guide]]

-When accessed via the user control panel the client is automatically routed through Tor and so if you are also using OTR then this provides protection for both message content and metadata.

+
+Radicale is a calendar server which allows your to synchronise your calendar across all your devices. Support for CalDAV within various client systems can be quite patchy/flaky though, so use it with caution.
+
+* Installation
+Log into your system with:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
+#+end_src
+
+Using cursor keys, space bar and Enter key select *Administrator controls* and type in your password.
+
+Select *Add/Remove Apps* then *radicale*. If you don't already have an SSL/TLS certificate for your main domain then go to the security settings and create a new Let's Encrypt cert for it. That will ensure that your calendar events have some minimal level of protection from passive surveillance.
+
+* Setting up on Android
+Via F-droid install *DAVdroid*.
+
+There seems to be a problem with Let's Encrypt certificates with this app, but it's possible to get around it. Open DAVdroid and select the side *menu* followed by *Settings*. Enable *Distrust system certificates* and press *Reset untrusted certificates*.
+
+Exit from settings and press the *plus button* to add an account. Select *Login with URL and user name*. The URL should be https://yourmaindomainname/radicale/. Remember to include the trailing slash on the URL. If you installed Freedombone from a disk image then enter your username and the password which was shown at the start of installation. If not then the password for Radicale will be within *Passwords* section of the *Administrator control panel*.
+
+You will be prompted to approve the Let's Encrypt cerificate for your domain name, and once that's done then you should see your account as a large yellow box. Press on that and ensure that *Addresses* and *calendar* are selected.
+
+Now go to your calendar app and press the plus icon to add an event. You should notice that the calendar account selected is your username on the Freedombone system.

-Riot Web is a browser based user interface for the [[./app_matrix.html][Matrix]] federated communications system. It allows you to do encrypted one-to-one or group chat, and has some fancy WebRTC features for voice and video conversations. The WebRTC stuff won't work in a Tor browser though. This type of system is fine for general public communications and collaboration on open source projects or gaming groups. For things which require real privacy though stick to XMPP with OMEMO.
-
-* Installation
-Log into your system with:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
-#+end_src
-
-Using cursor keys and Enter key select *Administrator controls* and type in your password.
-
-Select *Add/Remove Apps* then *riot* and also make sure that *matrix* is selected or was previously installed. You will then be asked for a domain name and if you are using FreeDNS also the code for the domain which can be found under *Dynamic DNS* on the FreeDNS site (the random string from "/quick cron example/" which appears after /update.php?/ and before />>/). For more details on obtaining a domain and making it accessible via dynamic DNS see the [[./faq.html][FAQ]]. Typically the domain name you use will be a subdomain, such as /riot.mydomainname.net/. It will need to be a domain which you have bought somewhere and own and not one of the FreeDNS subdomains, otherwise you won't be able to get a SSL/TLS certificate for it.
-
-* Initial setup
-Go to the *Administrator control panel* and select *Passwords* then *matrix*. This will give you the password to initially log in using the Riot Web user interface. Log in, and that's it. Happy chatting.

 The way that RSS reading is set up on Freedombone gives you strong reading privacy. Not only is there onion routing between you and the server but also between the server and the source of the RSS feed. The only down side is that many RSS feeds are still http only, and so could be vulnerable to injection attacks, but it's expected that more of this will go to https in the foreseeable future due to a combination of growing recognition of security issues and systems like Let's Encrypt which make obtaining certificates much easier.

 Syncthing provides a similar capability to proprietary systems such as Dropbox, and also is well suited for use with low power single board computers. You can have one or more directories which are synchronized across your various laptops/desktops/devices, and this makes it hard for you to ever lose important files. The manner in which the synchronization is done is pretty secure, such that it would be difficult for passive adversaries (mass surveillance, "/men in the middle/", etc) to know what files you're sharing. Of course, you don't necessarily need to be running a server in order to use Syncthing, but if you do have a server which is always running then there's always at least one place to synchronize your files to or from.

-#+begin_quote
-"/The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it./" -- John Gilmore
-#+end_quote
-
-A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to move your internet traffic to a different machine in a different geographical location by creating a private cryptographically protected route to that location. The usual use cases are to get around local censorship of the internet such as when you see the message "/this content is not available in your area/" when trying to play a video. Maybe you're on holiday and your hotel or workplace internet connection is censored. Using a VPN you can connect to your home server and then use the internet normally.
-
-Using a Tor browser is another way to get around censorship, but there might be occasions where you don't want to use a Tor browser or where Tor relays and bridges are blocked or where you want to run internet apps which aren't within a browser.
-
-On Freedombone the VPN is wrapped within a TLS layer of encryption, making it difficult for any deep packet inspection systems to know whether you are using a VPN or not. Since there is lots of TLS traffic on the internet your connection looks like any other TLS connection to a server, and this may help to avoid being censored. It's probably not possible for your local ISP to block TLS traffic without immediately generating a lot of irate customers, and stopping any kind of commercial activity.
-
-* Installation
-
-ssh into the system with:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-ssh myusername@mydomainname -p 2222
-#+END_SRC
-
-Select *Administrator controls* then *Add/Remove apps* then *vpn*. Choose the port which you want the VPN to operate on and then the install will continue.
-
-Only use ports 443 or 80 for VPN as an /absolute last resort/, since doing so will prevent other web based apps from running on your server.
-
-* Usage
-
-When the installation is complete you can download your VPN keys and configuration files onto your local machine.
-
-#+begin_src bash
-scp -P 2222 myusername@mydomainname:/home/myusername/client.ovpn .
-scp -P 2222 myusername@mydomainname:/home/myusername/stunnel* .
-#+end_src
-
-You will need to ensure that the /openvpn/ and /stunnel/ packages are installed. On an Arch based system:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo pacman -S openvpn stunnel4
-#+end_src
-
-Or on a Debian based system:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo apt-get install openvpn stunnel4
-#+end_src
-
-Now you can connect to your VPN with:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo stunnel stunnel-client.conf
-sudo openvpn client.ovpn
-#+end_src
-
-You should see a series of messages with "/Initialization Sequence Completed/" showing at the end. Leave the terminal open and perhaps minimize it to remain connected to the VPN. To leave the VPN close the terminal window.
-
-* Changing port number
-
-Avoiding censorship can be a cat and mouse game, and so if the port you're using for VPN gets blocked then you may want to change it.
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-ssh myusername@mydomainname -p 2222
-#+END_SRC
-
-Select *Administrator controls* then *App Settings* then *vpn*. Choose *Change TLS port* and enter a new port value. You can then either manually change the port within your VPN configuration files, or download them again as described in the [[Usage]] section above.
-
-* Generating new keys
-
-It's possible that your VPN keys might get lost or compromised on your local machine. If that happens you can generate new ones from the *Administrator controls* by going to *App Settings* then *vpn* then choosing *Regenerate keys for a user* and downloading the new keys as described in the [[Usage]] section above.

 Now power cycle by removing the power plug and then inserting it again. It should boot from the microSD drive and you should see the blue LEDs on the board flashing. If they don't fash at all for a few minutes then try copying the image to the microSD card again.
 
-Follow the rest of the [[./homeserver.html][instructions given here]] to log in via ssh and install the system. The microSD drive /should remain inside the Beaglebone/ and not be removed. This will be its main drive, with the internal EMMC not being used at all. For the Beaglebone Black Wireless ssh back in on the usual 192.168.7.2 address with the USB cable connected so that your wifi login parameters can be set.

 There are many apps available within the Freedombone system and trying to install them all is probably not a good idea, since this hardware is very resource constrained on CPU and especially on RAM. If the system seems to be becoming unstable and crashing then the most likely cause is running out of RAM, in which case you can try uninstalling some apps. It is possible to monitor RAM usage by logging in with ssh, exiting to the command line and then running the /top/ command.

 Freedombone is really just a couple of [[https://www.gnu.org/software/bash][bash]] scripts which install and configure software on a Debian GNU/Linux system. If you're a system administrator, software engineer or Linux hobbyist you'll probably be familiar with command line scripting and be able to make your own modifications or custom variants to suit your needs. Freedombone is licensed under the [[https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html][GNU Affero General Public License version 3]] (or later).

+*Why Github?*
+
+Github is closed source. Sooner or later it will probably turn evil or become like Sourceforge - which in the distant past was also once the darling of open source developers but has long since fallen from grace. The biggest reason to use Github is just the number of eyeballs there and the easy discoverability of projects.
+
+Longer term it is expected that the source code for this project will also be self-hosted, with Github acting only as a mirror to increase visibility.

-#+OPTIONS: ^:nil toc:nil

-
-* Code of Conduct
-
-* Be respectful
-
-In any Free Software project with more than one participant inevitably there may be people with whom you may disagree, or find it difficult to cooperate. Accept that, but even so, remain respectful. Disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour or personal attacks, and a community in which people feel threatened is not a healthy community.
-
-* Assume good faith
-
-Freedombone Contributors have many ways of reaching our common goal of providing freedom respecting internet or mesh systems which may differ from your ways. Assume that other people are working towards this goal.
-
-* Be collaborative
-
-Freedombone is a moderately complex project, though nothing big and professional like GNU. It's good to ask for help when you need it. Similarly, offers for help should be seen in the context of our shared goal of improving the system.
-
-When you make something for the benefit of the project, be willing to explain to others how it works, so that they can build on your work to make it even better.
-
-* Try to be concise
-
-If you're submitting documentation then keep in mind that what you write once could be read by many other people. To avoid TL;DR keep it as short and concise as possible. This will also reduce the amount of translations effort needed.
-
-If you're discussing an issue or bug, try to stay on topic, especially in discussions that are already fairly large.
-
-* Be open
-
-Most ways of communication used within Freedombone (eg Matrix/XMPP) allow for public and private communication. Prefer public methods of communication for Freedombone-related messages, unless posting something sensitive.
-
-This applies to messages for help, too; not only is a public support request much more likely to result in an answer to your question, it also makes sure that any inadvertent mistakes made by people answering your question will be more easily detected and corrected.
-
-* No spamming
-Posting of adverts or other off-topic content in Matrix/XMPP or other public systems used by the project will be considered a violation of the code of conduct.
-* Respect others’ privacy
-No stalking, unwanted personal attention, or unwelcome revealing or speculating about personal details of others.
-
-In cases of sincere, good-faith curiosity about someone’s experience or identity, ask politely in a manner such that they will feel free to decline the request.
-* No hostile communication
-No insults, harassment (sexual or otherwise), condescension, ad hominem, threats, or other intimidation.
-
-Condescension means treating others as inferior. Subtle condescension still violates the Code of Conduct even if not blatantly demeaning.
-
-No stereotyping of or promoting prejudice or discrimination against particular groups or classes of people.
-
-In cases where criticism of ideology or culture remains on-topic, respectfully discuss the ideas.
-* In case of problems
-
-While this code of conduct should be adhered to by participants, we recognize that sometimes people may have a bad day, or be unaware of some of the guidelines in this code of conduct. When that happens, you may reply to them and point out this code of conduct. Such messages may be in public or in private, whatever is most appropriate. However, regardless of whether the message is public or not, it should still adhere to the relevant parts of this code of conduct; in particular, it should not be abusive or disrespectful. Assume good faith; it is more likely that participants are unaware of their bad behaviour than that they intentionally try to degrade the quality of the discussion.
-
-Serious or persistent offenders will be kicked from chat rooms and any of their subsequent patches will be unlikely to be upstreamed. In this context "serious" means that someone is causing others to feel unsafe or be unable to contribute, for whatever reason.
-
-This is not a big project and so there is no division of labor or special enforcement committee or bureaucratic process. Complaints should be made (in private) to the maintainer or chat room admin. The typical email address can be found in the source code headers. Preferably use GPG if you can, or XMPP with OpenPGP/OMEMO to bob@freedombone.net. XMPP messages are likely to get a quicker response.

+| [[Repository mirrors]]      |
+| [[Backup and restore menu]] |
+| [[Security menu]]           |
+| [[User management menu]]    |
+
+* Main menu
+You can access the main menu by logging into the system.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
+#+END_SRC
+
+Then selecting /Administrator controls/.
+
+It should look like this:
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+To select anythng on the control panel use the *up and down* cursor keys and *space bar* to tag, then press *Enter*.
+
+* User control panel
+When a user initially logs in they will see a version of the control panel with restricted options aimed at the kinds of things which someone who isn't the administrator might wish to do. An expected scenario is that you might have a few friends or family members on the system, and this is who this menu is intended for.
+
+From this menu checking email or running chat applications is very easy, and they are configured in a safe manner without the user needing to do anything special. Email uses *mutt*, XMPP uses *profanity* and IRC uses *irssi*.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[./images/controlpanel/control_panel_user.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+It's also possible for the user to define email filtering rules, add a ssh public key for key based login and also add or remove GPG public keys. They can also do this via the commandline if they prefer, but the menu system may provide an easier user interface.
+* About screen
+To find out your current domain names select the About screen from the main menu. This is especially useful for finding your onion addresses. For improved security by compartmentalisation, and also simpler implementation, each application has its own onion address.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel_about.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+You can also see the SIP extension numbers for each user and how much disk space each user is consuming (typically this corresponds with email use).
+
+The Local Mirrors contains mirrored copies of the git repositories used by the system. If they don't have access to default repositories (mostly Github) then you can give these details to other users and then they can set their main repository such that they can pull from your system. Obviously any users doing this need to trust that you havn't modified the mirrored repositories in any way.
+
+* Email filtering rules
+You can add users to mailing lists, or block particular email addresses or subject lines in this menu.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel_filtering.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+* Hubzilla menu
+This allows you to set the global directory location and obtain an SSL/TLS certificate if necessary.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel_hubzilla.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+* IRC menu
+You can view the current IRC password or change it from here. Currently the IRC server does not work equally well on clrearnet and via Tor, so there is an option to switch from one to the other. Initially the IRC server will be running on clearnet (i.e. no onion routing).
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel_irc.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+* Media menu
+It's possible to add playable media to a USB drive and plug it into the system, then make it accessible to other devices such as tablets or phones on your local network via DLNA.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel_media.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+* Repository mirrors
+If you don't want to use the default repositories, or don't have access to them, then you can obtain them from another Freedombone server (the details can be found on the other server on the *About* screen of the control panel).
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel_mirrors.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+* Backup and restore menu
+You can create backups or restore from backup here. It's also possible to create keydrives which store the backup key.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel_backup_restore.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+* Security menu
+If you need to generate SSL/TLS certificates or change cypher details due to changing recommendations then you can do that here. If you are changing cypher details be extra careful not to make mistakes/typos, which could reduce the security of your system.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/controlpanel/control_panel_security.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+* User management menu
+Users can be added or removed here.

-Although the image builder supports a variety of architectures there may still be some which aren't supported. These especially include systems which have a proprietary boot blob, such as the Raspberry Pi boards.
-
-It's still possible to install the system onto these unsupported devices if you need to. First you'll need to ensure that you have *Debian Stretch* installed and can get ssh access to the system. Then either via ssh, or directly on the target device in the case of an old laptop or netbook:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash

-make install
-freedombone menuconfig (or freedombone menuconfig-onion)
-#+END_SRC
-
-The installation process will then begin. Depending upon the hardware you're installing onto and your internet connection speed it may take quite a while to install.
-
-Once installed you can then log in from another system with:

 * Introduction
-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. You might also want to consult the [[./codeofconduct.html][Code of Conduct]], and there is a Matrix room at *#fbone:matrix.freedombone.net*

There are no trendy development frameworks to learn or to get in your way.
+* Community Statement
+This project doesn't require you to take any special pledge of allegiance or subscribe to any guru's list of commandments. It does not care about your gender, race, national flag or political alignment. It is agnostic towards your religion or lack thereof. It doesn't give one hoot as to whether you are young or old, rich or poor, gay, trans, straight or just "other". It does not care if you like your eggs sunny side up or if you are a vegan.
+
+This is an inclusive project which will take patches or pull requests from anyone, in a generous manner along the lines described by the late Pieter Hintjens in his book /Social Architecture/. Any useful patch is likely to be merged so long as it is submitted under a license compatible with AGPL3. Copyright assignment is not required.
+
+Freedombone is a free system. That's free as in no secret source. For anything. Although there's nothing to stop you from adding proprietary utilities or apps if you wish, any patches containing closed stuff or which create dependencies upon closed systems will be regarded as trash and ignored.
+
+This project also has a no bullshit policy. Anyone trying to cause a ruckus by trolling or engaging in behavior which is disruptive or disrespectful to others will be speedily blocked and ignored. Life's too short, and there's too much to be done.
 * Adding extra apps
 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.
 
-There's a command which you can use to generate scripts for new apps. Some examples are as follows:
-
-To create a script for a generic PHP plus MySql/MariaDB web app with a couple of extra packages:
+On an installed system the app scripts go into the directory:
 
 #+begin_src bash
-freedombone-template --app [name] -e [email] -r [repo url] \
-                     --packages "cowsay libssl-dev" \
-                     -c [commit] --php yes -d mariadb > \
-                     src/freedombone-app-myappname
+/usr/share/freedombone/apps
 #+end_src
 
-For a Nodejs app with MySql/MariaDB database:
+and within the project repo they appear within the /src/ directory. Your new app script should have the name:
 
 #+begin_src bash
-freedombone-template --app [name] -e [email] -r [repo url] \
-                     -c [commit] --node yes -d mariadb \
-                     --dir /etc/myappname --daemon yes > \
-                     src/freedombone-app-myappname
+freedombone-app-[myappname]
 #+end_src
 
-For a Python app with Postgresql database:
+The /myappname/ value should not contain any spaces and will appear in the list of available apps.
+
+An example template for an app script is shown below. Copy this and add whatever variables and configuration you need. Search and replace /myappname/ with your own.
 
 #+begin_src bash
-freedombone-template --app [name] -e [email] -r [repo url] \
-                     -c [commit] -d postgresql \
-                     --dir /etc/myappname --daemon yes > \
-                     src/freedombone-app-myappname

-* How to get a domain name
-
-* The domain name itself
-
-If you want your sites or chat systems to be available via an ordinary web browser (i.e. not a Tor browser) then you'll need to obtain a domain name. The domain name system is ultimately controlled by ICANN and to obtain a domain name for which you can also get a TLS certificate you'll need to buy one. There are various sites which sell domain names, and fortunately they can often be quite cheap - especially if you can think of an obscure name for your site. Prefer sites where the domain name subscription can be automatically renewed, because otherwise trolls can quickly buy your domain when it expires and then hold it for ransom. If you're planning to self-host for more than an ephemeral purpose, such as a conference or festival, then choose the longest subscription period you can afford (typically a few years).
-
-You probably only need one ICANN domain name and then the various Freedombone apps you might want can be set up on subdomains, such as /blog.mydomainname.net/.
-
-* Dynamic DNS
-
-You will also need a dynamic DNS account, and again this might be something you have to pay a subscription for. Your Freedombone system will have a local network address (typically 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z) and also a public IP address assigned by your ISP. Your ISP will change your public IP address every so often (that's why it's called "dynamic") and so there needs to be some way to link the domain name which you've obtained to your changing public IP address. That's what the dynamic DNS service does.
-
-/Starting to think that this sounds like a rather shaky system which would would be not too difficult for an adversary to disrupt - especially if they get cosy with ICANN or the dynamic DNS provider? You'd be right. But moving swiftly past that man behind a curtain.../
-
-In simple terms what happens is that on a regular basis the Freedombone system will ping the dynamic DNS service and say "/this is my current public IP address/", so that the mapping between domain name and IP address can be maintained.
-
-The dynamic DNS service will have their own DNS servers maintaining the IP address mappings and so on the web site where you registered your domain name you will need to specify the servers of the your dynamic DNS account. Look for an option such as "/change nameservers/" or "/custom nameservers/", remove any names which might already be there and then add the servers used by the dynamic DNS service. For example, if you're using FreeDNS then these servers would be:
-
-#+begin_src text
-NS1.AFRAID.ORG
-NS2.AFRAID.ORG
-NS3.AFRAID.ORG
-NS4.AFRAID.ORG
-#+end_src
-
-It might take a few minutes for the changes to take effect, so don't be too hasty to conclude that it doesn't work.
-
-** Configuring with FreeDNS
-
-If you are using FreeDNS as a dynamic DNS provider then on their site select "/Domains/" and add your domain name (this might only be available to paid subscribers). Make sure that they're marked as "/private/" so that subdomains of your domain name are not used by other users of the site.
-
-Select "Subdomains" from the menu on the left then select the MX entry for your domain and change the destination to *10:mydomainname* rather than *10:mail.mydomainname*.
-
-* Setting up with Freedombone
-
-When you start the base installation of the system it will ask you to choose a dynamic DNS provider and then enter the login details for the dynamic DNS service.
-
-* A note about Tor
-
-If you only want your sites to be available via Tor then none of the above is needed and you can access your sites and systems via their onion addresses. Tor has its own naming system which is independent from ICANN, and you also won't need TLS/SSL certificates since it also manages transport encryption itself. When building disk images use the *--onion yes* option, or choose one of the ready made onion disk images [[./downloads][from downloads]].

-* Does this project have a Code of Conduct?
-Yes. It can be [[./codeofconduct.html][found here]].
 * What applications are supported?
-[[./apps.html][See here]] for the complete list of apps. In addition to those as part of the base install you get an email server.
+ * *Email* - Server and Mutt client configured for use with GPG and Emacs or Vim
+ * *DLNA* - Play music on your local network devices
+ * *Dokuwiki* - Databaseless wiki
+ * *GNU Social* - Federated social network and resource sharing system
+ * *Gogs* - Host your git projects
+ * *qTox* - Chat and VoIP client on mesh networks
+ * *HTMLy* - Databaseless blogging system
+ * *Pelican* - Static blogging system used on mesh networks
+ * *Hubzilla* - Federated social networking and web publishing
+ * *IRC server*
+ * *Obnam* - Encrypted backups to USB or to other servers
+ * *Mumble* - VoIP and text chat
+ * *pi-hole* - Block internet ads on your local network
+ * *tt-rss* - Accessible via an onion address to give you /the right to read/ from any device
+ * *sipwitch* - Telephony system
+ * *Syncthing* - File sync
+ * *IPFS* - For accessing sites on a mesh network
+ * *Toxcore/Toxic* - Bootstrap node and client
+ * *XMPP server* - Including XEPs needed to support the Conversations Android app with OMEMO
+ * *Shell based web browser* - if all else fails then ssh to your server and browse from there
 * I don't have a static IP address. Can I still install this system?
 Yes. The minimum requirements are to have some hardware that you can install Debian onto and also that you have administrator access to your internet router so that you can forward ports to the system which has Freedombone installed.
 
 The lack of a static IP address can be worked around by using a dynamic DNS service. Freedombone uses [[https://troglobit.com/inadyn.html][inadyn]] , which supports a variety of dynamic DNS providers.
-* What are the best microSD cards to use?
-There can be big differences in the performance of microSD cards, and the cheaper ones are almost invariably terrible and/or unusable. Sandisk and Samsung currently appear to be the better brands. You can find some performance benchmarks [[http://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/microsd-cards][here]]. However, benchmarks like this only give a very rough idea of performance and they can vary significantly between individual cards even within the same brand.
-
-If you're struggling to get good performance out of your microSD card then you might want to consider running from a SATA drive or SSD instead. Some boards such as Cubieboard and Olinuxino have SATA sockets such that you can connect an SSD. It doesn't have to be high cost and the smallest SSD you can find will probably be enough. It's then possible to build an image with the *--sata* option or download one of the pre-built ones and copy it both to the microSD and SATA drive. SSD drives can give a 10x performance improvement over just using a microSD card.
-* On a single board computer can I boot from an external SSD or hard drive?
-Some single board computers, such as Cubieboards or OLinuxino, have a SATA socket on them which enables an external drive to be connected. This is usually intended for extra file storage, but it is also possible to run the operating system from an external drive. This can have the advantage of significantly increasing the read/write performance and your apps will appear to run more quickly.
-
-Typically a microSD read speed is 10-30MB/s. An SSD or hard drive can be 100MB/s or more, so that's a big potential gain.
-
-Single board computers usually don't have the capability of booting directly from an external drive, but what you can do is boot from a partition on a microSD drive, which then runs the main filesystem (the rootfs) from the external drive.
-
-To create an image suitable for running from an SSD or hard drive use the --sata option, such as:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-freedombone-image -t cubieboard2 --sata sda2
-#+END_SRC
-
-Note that the sata option should be set to point to the second partition on the drive, which is normally sda2.
-
-When the image is created then use the dd command to copy it both to a microSD card and to the SSD or hard drive. Plug them both into the board and it should then boot and use the external drive.
 * Why Freedombone and not FreedomBox?
 When the project began in late 2013 the FreedomBox project seemed to be going nowhere, and was only designed to work with the DreamPlug hardware. There was some new hardware out - the Beaglebone Black - which could run Debian and was also a free hardware design so seemed more appropriate. Hence the name "Freedombone", being like FreedomBox but on a Beaglebone. There are some similarities and differences between the two projects:

 * Why use Tor? I've heard it's used by bad people
-Years ago Tor was usually depicted in the mainstream media as something scary inhabited by cyberterrorists and other bad cybers, but today to a large extent Tor is accepted as just another way of routing data in a network. Depending upon where you live there may still be some amount of fearmongering about Tor, but it now seems clear that the trajectory is towards general acceptance.
+Before you run screaming for the hills based upon whatever scare story you may have just read in the mainstream media there are a few things worthy of consideration. Tor is installed by default on Freedombone, /but not as a relay or exit node/. It's only used to provide onion addresses so that this gives you or the viewers of your sites some choice about how they access the information. It also allows you to subscribe to and read RSS feeds privately.
 
-Tor and its onion addresses, previously called hidden addresses, have a few key advantages:
+Onion routing - which is what Tor provides - gives you some level of protection against bulk surveillance of metadata. These days governments and other organisations are in the business of collecting and analysing your metadata. They want to have comprehensive lists of which sites you visited, or who visited your sites. Tor may at least partially help to thwart their totalitarian ambitions to know everything about everyone all of the time.
 
- * NAT traversal
- * Firewall traversal
- * Avoiding the domain name system (DNS), which is mostly centralized and not secure
- * Avoiding passive bulk surveillance in which governments try to find out who is communicating with who
+Tor is not a perfect system and is not fully decentralised. Like all software it has bugs, but it can be considered to probably be an effective tactic against some of the most egregious surveillance fanatics out there.
 
-On the negative side it's a complex system which is not fully decentralized.
-* How is Tor integrated with Freedombone?
-Within this project Tor is used more to provide /accessibility/ than the /anonymity/ factor for which Tor is better known. The onion address system provides a way of being able to access sites even if you don't own a conventional domain name or don't have administrator access to your local internet router to be able to do port forwarding.
+The media may also have sold you torrid tales about individual Tor project developers. While the conduct of individuals does matter, what matters far more is whether the technical system works and is practical for the average user. Don't allow your opinions of the technical system to be deflected by transient sex scandals or oppressive moralising, and /don't hold anyone to standards higher than you would apply to yourself/.
+* Why use Github?
+Github is paradoxically a centralized, closed and proprietary system which happens to mostly host free and open source projects. Up until now it has been relatively benign, but at some point in the name of "growth" it will likely start becoming more evil, or just become like SourceForge - which was also once much loved by FOSS developers, but turned into a den of malvertizing.
 
-Tor is installed by default, but it's not configured as a relay or exit node. From the administrator control panel you can optionally set up a Tor bridge, but this is only for adverse situations and not usually advisable.
+At present Github is useful just because of the sheer number of eyeballs and the easy discoverability of projects via search.
 
-When you install an app you will be able to access it from its onion address.
+The source code for this project is experimentally independently hosted, and it is expected that in future the main development will shift over to an independent site, maybe with mirrors on Github if it still exists in a viable form.
 
-Even if you're running the "onion only" build, this only means that sites are accessible via onion addresses. It doesn't mean that everything gets routed through Tor. If full anonymity is your aim then it's probably a good idea to just stick strictly to using TAILS.
-* Can I add a clearnet domain to an onion build?
-You could if you manually edited the relevant nginx configuration files and installed some dynamic DNS system yourself. If you already have sysadmin knowledge then that's probably not too hard. But the builds created with the *onion-addresses-only* option aren't really intended to support access via clearnet domains.
-* What are the data protection implications of running this system?
-Data protection laws such as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation][GDPR]] in the EU or the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Act_1998][Data Protection Act]] in the UK usually only apply to formal organizations which are recognized as being legal entities. So you have to be running a business or a charity or some other formal organization in order for the storage of what's known as /personally identifying information/ to potentially become a legal issue. Laws like this usually include:
-
- * A right to obtain your information
- * A right to be forgotten (i.e. to have your data permanently deleted)
- * Ensuring that stored personal data remains accurate
-
-If you're self-hosting then in the language of data protection law the "/data controller/" and the "/data subject/" are one and the same, so there isn't any power differential of that sort. Freedombone is only intended for small numbers of users, so if you are hosting more than one person chances are that you know the others quite well and can arrange to update their data or delete their account if that's needed. Even if data protection laws are later extended to include home server type scenarios it's unlikely that this will become a problem.
-
-For the mesh version similar applies. Each peer stores their own personal data and it never gets aggregated and stored in any centralized way.
-* After using nmap or other scanning tool I can no longer log in
-This system tries to block port scanners. Any other system trying to scan for open ports will have their IP address added to a temporary block list for 24 hours.
-* Should I upload my GPG keys to keybase.io?
-It's not recommended unless there exists some compelling reason for you to be on there. That site asks users to upload the *private keys*, and even if the keys are client side encrypted with a passphrase there's always the chance that there will be a data leak in future and letter agencies will then have a full time opportunity to crack the passphrases.
-
-Saying something resembling "/only noobs will use crackable private key passphrases/" isn't good enough. A passphrase should not be considered to be a substitute for a private key.
+Currently many of the repositories used for applications which are not yet packaged for Debian are on Github, and to provide some degree of resilliance against depending too much upon that it's possible to use [[./mirrors.html][mirrors stored on another server]].

 If you are currently using a proprietary chat app, something without any encryption or something /really bad/ such as Telegram, then Signal is definitely a step up in terms of security. But Signal has problems, which can be summarised as:
 
- * *It uses phone numbers*. Phone numbers are used for Signal's initial verification, and they can of course be intercepted or faked. Plus it means that Open Whisper Systems keeps a list of phone numbers on its centralised server for its /"X has joined Signal"/ notification. Even if they're hashed, they're still unique identifiers and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table][rainbow tables]] for the phone number system probably exist. Phone numbers are convenient for some users, but are also a non-trivial security risk. If you're using Signal then consider what it knows about who your contacts are, where that data is located and who else might have access to that. Consider what might happen if an adversary gets to know your mobile number.
  * *It's based on a single server* run by Open Whisper Systems. That's a single point of failure and ought to be a big red flag (of the sporting rather than the socialist variety) as a possible locus for concentrated nefariousness.
- * *It requires the installation of Google Play*. If you already have Google Play installed on a stock Android OS then this doesn't increase your security problems, but for other more secure Android variants it's a massive increase in attack surface. There is a separate apk available for download, but it won't receive updates and the hash shown on the site often doesn't match.
+ * *It requires the installation of Google Play*. If you already have Google Play installed on a stock Android OS then this doesn't increase your security problems, but for other more secure Android variants it's a massive increase in attack surface.
  * *It depends entirely upon the Google message pushing system*. That means that Google /at least knows who Signal messages are being sent to and may be able to infer the rest via your (insecure) Android phone contact list or via timing correlation of alternating deliveries/. Remember that for an adversary metadata in aggregate is much better than having the content of messages. At any time Google could decide that it doesn't want to support Signal, or in adverse circumstances they could be leaned upon by the usual agencies or government cronies.
- * *Their privacy policy indicates that they will give whatever server data they have to third parties* under some conditions. Of course this is always claimed to be /for the very best of reasons/ - such as combating fraud - but once that sort of disclosure capability exists it may be abused without you ever knowing about it. Consider how difficult, or not, it may be for a government to reverse engineer a database of hashed telephone numbers.

Of course this is always claimed to be /for the very best of reasons/ - such as combating fraud - but once that sort of disclosure capability exists it may be abused without you ever knowing about it.
  * *Forking isn't really an option*. A fork was tried, but Moxie got annoyed when it still used his server. At the same time the level of interest in federating the server is not detectable with our best intrumentation, and is suspected to be negative. That's a catch 22 which effectively means that independent implementations of Signal will always leave some users unable to communicate with each other.
 
 To give credit where it's due Signal is good, but it could be a lot better. The real solution for private chat is to run your own XMPP server, as you can with Freedombone, or to have someone within your community do that. /There is no substitute for a decentralised solution which is within the control of your community/.

Self-signed certificates are quite useful though. What the scary warnings mean - and it would be good if they explained this more clearly - is that you have an encrypted connection established but there is /no certainty about who that connection is with/. They probably will protect the content of your communications from passive bulk interception - such as the tapping of under-sea cables.

-* Homesteading the Fediverse
-
-Some things you might want to know about the Fediverse:
-
-* Federation as a concept
-The political definition of a federation is "/a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central (federal) government/". The fediverse isn't exactly like that, in that there is no federal government. However there are protocols which govern the communication between instances and that might be analogized to being a sort of elementary constitution or mutual agreement binding all participants together. The protocols are merely ways of moving data around though, and don't impose any sort of moral code.
-* Keep the number of users on each server small
-The importance of this can't be overstated. Servers with lots of users always eventually have problems where the interests of the users are not the same as the interests of the server administrator. If you are the server administrator, or if there are only a small squad-size group of people on the server, then it's a lot easier to resolve differences and everyone's interests are likely to be similar.
-
-* Drama will happen
-It's inevitable in any social network, but fortunately your options for dealing with it are better than they are in the giant proprietary monoliths. In the proprietary world Google or Facebook don't give a damn about the fate of individual users. On a server with a small number of users if you're getting griefed then the administrator is likely to care and be able to do something about it.
-
-* Don't be afraid to block
-Especially if other servers are publishing content which may not be legal in your jurisdiction then don't be afraid to use domain or user blocking from the *Administrator control panel*. The same applies if users on other servers are trying to harass you. Blocking creates politics and drama but _this is a feature not a bug_. It allows you to craft your own distinct community and user experience while also existing in the wider federation. It's hard to do this on sites like Twitter or Facebook. Try to keep blocking to a minimum though and avoid doing it for insubstantial reasons. If you have other users on your server then publish the blocked domains list somewhere they can see. That avoids disappointment and enables you to have a discussion about the validity of blocking decisions.
-
-* Network structure maps on to social structure
-Over time follows and blocking rules come to match the underlying social geography of affinity groups. Blocking will happen and users will move around or start new servers. Drama related to blocking will dissipate.
-
-* Keep your follows under the Dunbar number
-Keep the number of other frequently active users you're following to under a couple of hundred. Your actual number of follows might be larger than this but could include users who rarely post anything.
-
-Once there are more than a couple of hundred highly active users in your timeline then you'll just be overwhelmed by irrelevant stuff and whatever community you may have been part of will be drowned in the entropy. There are no algorithmic timelines to hide posts, and even if they're introduced then they create their own problems as an opaque form of censorship. _Real community happens at tribal scale_. It's something which people often don't like to admit because they get fixated upon bigger and bigger numbers, but it definitely seems to be true.
-
-* Avoid big public servers
-It may seem like a good idea and it may seem like you're doing a service to the community by allowing random strangers to register, but servers with thousands of users only cause problems - social, administrative, financial and possibly also legal. The financial strain of running a powerful server with high reliability may be enough to encourage the administrator to begin pushing advertising onto the system, or sell user content, and then before you know it you have identical problems to Twitter. Instead try to encourage people to set up their own servers. Follow this principle and a lot of arguments and stress will be more easily avoided.

+Mesh networks are useful as a quick way to make a fully decentralised communications system which is not connected to or reliant upon the internet. Think festivals, hacker conferences, onboard ships at sea, disaster/war zones, small business internal office communications, protests, remote areas of the world, temporary "digital blackouts", scientific expeditions and off-world space colonies. The down side is that you can't access any internet content. The upside is that you can securely communicate with anyone on the local mesh. No ISPs. No payments or subscriptions beyond the cost of obtaining the hardware. Systems need to be within wifi range of each other for the mesh to be created. It can be an ultra-convenient way to do purely local communications.
 
-Mesh networks are useful as a quick way to make a fully decentralised communications system which is not connected to or reliant upon the internet. Think festivals, hacker conferences, onboard ships at sea, disaster/war zones, small businesses who don't want the overhead of server maintenance, protests, remote areas of the world, temporary "digital blackouts", scientific expeditions and off-world space colonies.
+* What the system can do
 
-If an internet connection is available then it can make use of that, but otherwise it can still work regardless of whether the internet exists. So it's not dependent upon ISPs and additional infrastructure other than USB drives isn't required.
+ - Discovery of other users on the network
+ - Text based chat, one-to-one and in groups
+ - Voice chat (VoIP)
+ - Private and public sharing of files
+ - Blogging
+ - No network administration required
+ - No servers, internet connection or cabling is needed.
+ - Works from bootable USB drives or microSD drives.
+ - Data is mesh routed between systems
+ - Private communications is end-to-end secured and forward secret.
+ - Publicly shared data is /content addressable/.
 
-Systems only need to be within wifi range of each other for the mesh to be created, so it can be an very convenient way to create a local communications network.
+This system should be quite scalable. Both qTox and IPFS are based upon distributed hash tables (DHT) so that each peer does not need to store the full index of data for the entire network. Caching or pinning of IPFS data and its content addressability means that if a file or blog becomes popular then performance should improve as the number of downloads increases, which is the opposite of the client/server paradigm.
 
-Like [[https://libremesh.org][LibreMesh]], this system uses a combination of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N.][batman-adv]] on network layer 2 and [[http://bmx6.net][BMX]] on layer 3. Routing protocols [[http://www.olsr.org][OLSR2]] and [[https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/babel][Babel]] are also selectable.

+"Client" isn't exactly the right term, but it's a mesh peer with a user interface. These images can be copied to a USB drive, then you can plug it into a laptop/netbook/desktop machine and boot from it. You will probably also need an Atheros USB wifi dongle (the black protruding object on the left side of the netbook in the picture above), because most built-in wifi usually requires proprietary firmware. In the commands below substitute /dev/sdX with the USB drive device, excluding any trailing numbers (eg. /dev/sdb). The USB drive you're copying to will need to be at least 8GB in size.

+#+end_src
+
+To get a number of systems onto the mesh repeat the /dd/ command to create however many bootable USB drives you need.
+
+If you're in an emergency and don't have Atheros wifi dongles then there is also an "insecure" image which contains some proprietary wifi drivers which may work with a wider range of laptops. Proprietary drivers *are not recommended* because they're unsupportable and may be exploitable or contain malicious antifeatures which fundamentally compromise the security of the network. However, the trade-off between security/maintainability and simply having the ability to communicate at all may be a valid one in some situations.

+
+** Router images
+Routers are intended to build network coverage for an area using small and low cost hardware. You can bolt them to walls or leave them on window ledges. They don't have any user interface and their only job is to haul network traffic across the mesh and to enable peers to find each other via running bootstrap nodes for Tox and IPFS. Copy the image to a microSD card and insert it into the router, plug in an Atheros wifi dongle and power on. That should be all you need to do.
+*** Beaglebone Black
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/mesh_router.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+The above picture shows a Beaglebone Black with the image copied onto a microSD card (there's no need to do anything with the internal EMMC). A USB Atheros wifi adaptor with a large antenna is attached and in this case power is from the mains, although it could be from a battery or solar power system capable of supplying 5 volts and maybe 1A (depending upon how active the router is).
+
+#+begin_src bash
+sudo apt-get install xz-utils wget
+wget https://freedombone.net/downloads/mesh-router-beaglebone-black-20160913.img.xz
+wget https://freedombone.net/downloads/mesh-router-beaglebone-black-20160913.img.xz.sig

+sudo dd bs=1M if=mesh-router-beaglebone-black-20160913.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync
+#+end_src
+
+If you have a few Beaglebone Blacks to use as routers then repeat the /dd/ command to create however many microSD cards you need.
+
+There is still a software freedom issue with the Beaglebone Black, but it doesn't prevent you from running a fully free system on the board. The TI AM335X SOC has a PowerVR SGX530 GPU which will only run with a proprietary blob, but this would only be an issue for systems with a monitor or LCD screen attached running a desktop environment which also needs GPU acceleration. For "headless" systems such as servers or mesh routers this isn't a problem.
+
+* Building Disk Images
+It's better not to trust images downloaded from random places on the interwebs. Chances are that unless you are in the web of trust of the above GPG signatures then they don't mean very much to you. If you actually want something trustworthy then build the images from scratch. It will take some time. Here's how to do it.
+
+First you will need to create an image. On a Debian based system (tested on Debian Jessie and Trisquel 7):
+
+#+begin_src bash
+sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libc6-dev-i386 wget \
+    gcc-multilib g++-multilib git python-docutils mktorrent \
+    vmdebootstrap xz-utils dosfstools btrfs-tools extlinux \
+    python-distro-info mbr qemu-user-static binfmt-support \
+    u-boot-tools qemu
+wget https://freedombone.net/downloads/freedombone-mesh-13-09-2016.tar.gz
+wget https://freedombone.net/downloads/freedombone-mesh-13-09-2016.tar.gz.sig
+gpg --verify freedombone-mesh-13-09-2016.tar.gz.sig
+sha256sum freedombone-mesh-13-09-2016.tar.gz
+3e279f8ed762afb682bec6bd463830087354dd2f24020f3b0de51143585ab0ed
+tar -xzvf freedombone-mesh-13-09-2016.tar.gz
+cd freedombone
+git checkout stockholm
+sudo make install
+freedombone-image -t i386 -v meshclient
+#+end_src
+
+If you don't have Atheros or free software compatible wifi adapter then you can include proprietary wifi drivers which will work with most laptops. This is *NOT RECOMMENDED* because proprietary drivers are unsupportable and may contain either malware or be exploitable in a way which can't be fixed. However, if you're in an emergency and don't have any Atheros or free software wifi USB dongles then you can use the following command to make the image:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+freedombone-image -t i386 -v meshclient --insecure yes
+#+end_src
+
+This takes a while. Maybe an hour or so, depending on the speed of your system and the internets. The good news though is that once created you can use the resulting image any number of times, and you don't need to trust some pre-built image.
+
+List what drives are on your system with:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+ls /dev/sd*
+#+end_src
+
+Now plug in the USB thumb drive, and do the same again. Notice which drive letter gets added.
+
+You can now copy the image to the USB thumb drive, replacing *sdX* with the identifier of the USB thumb drive. Don't include any numbers (so for example use *sdc* instead of *sdc1*).
+
+#+begin_src bash
+sudo dd bs=1M if=myimagefile.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync
+#+end_src
+
+And wait. Again it will take a while to copy over. When that's done plug it into the laptop or netbook which you want to use on the mesh, power on and set the BIOS to boot from the USB stick.
+
+On first boot you'll be asked to set a username, and then you can open the chat client and select the *users* icon to show the Tox IDs for other users on the mesh. When folks join they will be announced.
+
+Rinse, repeat, for any number of laptops that you want to get onto the mesh or to build out coverage within an area. There are no servers. Just peer-to-peer communications routed through the network which are end-to-end secure after a friend request is accepted. By default the chat client doesn't log anything.
+
+You can also use single board computers (SBCs) such as the BeagleBone Black to make mesh routers which can be bolted to walls or the sides of buildings and consume minimal electrical power, so could be solar or battery powered for short term events such as festivals. To do that use the following command to make the image:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+freedombone-image -t beaglebone -v mesh
+#+end_src
+
+The resulting image can be copied to a microSD card, inserted into a Beaglebone Black and booted. Don't forget to plug in an Atheros USB wifi dongle.
+
+* Customisation
+If you want to make your own specially branded version, such as for a particular event, then to change the default desktop backgrounds edit the images within *img/backgrounds* and to change the available avatars and desktop icons edit the images within *img/avatars*. Re-create disk images using the instructions shown previously.
+
+If you need particular /dconf/ commands to alter desktop appearance or behavior then see the function /mesh_client_startup_applications/ within *src/freedombone-image-customise*.
+* How to use it
+When you first boot from the USB drive the system will create some encryption keys, assign a unique network address to the system and then reboot itself. When that's done you should see a prompt asking for a username. This username just makes it easy for others to initially find you on the mesh and will appear in the list of users.
+
+After a minute or two if you are within wifi range and there is at least one other user on the network then you should see additional icons appear on the desktop, such as /Other Users/ and /Chat/.
+
+** Set the Date
+On the ordinary internet the date and time of your system would be set automatically via NTP. But this is not the internet and so you will need to manually ensure that your date and time settings are correct. You might need to periodically do this if your clock drifts. It's not essential that the time on your system be highly accurate, but if it drifts too far or goes back to epoch then things could become a little confusing in regard to the order of blog posts.
+
+*Right click on the date* in the top right corner of the screen. Select *preferences*, then click the *Time Settings* button. You can then select the date from the calendar and set the time, then click the *Set System Time* button. Enter the default password, which is /freedombone/.
+** Check network status
+Unlike with ordinary wifi, on the mesh you don't get a signal strength icon and so it's not simple to see if you have a good connection.
+
+Select the wifi icon on the desktop and enter the password '/freedombone/'. The network configuration will go into a monitoring mode and in the bottom right side of the window you will be able to see signal strength and other parameters. This can help you to locate systems or adjust antennas to get the best wifi performance.
+
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/mesh_signal.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+When you are finished close the window and then select the /Network Restart/ desktop icon, which will restart the B.A.T.M.A.N. network. You can also use the restart icon if you are within range of the mesh network but the /Chat/ and /Other Users/ icons do not automatically appear after a few minutes.
+
+** Chat System
+
+Ensure that you're within wifi range of at least one other mesh peer (could be a router or client) and then you should see that the /Chat/ and /Other Users/ icons appear. Select the users icon and you should see a list of users on the mesh. Select the /Chat/ icon and once you are connected you should see the status light turn green. If after a few minutes you don't get the green status light then try closing and re-opening the Tox chat application. Select the plus button to add a friend and then copy and paste in a Tox ID from the users list.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/mesh_paste_tox_id.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+The other user can then accept or decline your friend request.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/mesh_friend_request.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+You can also select an avatar by selecting the grey head and shoulders image.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/mesh_choose_avatar.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+And by selecting the user from the list on the left hand side the chat can begin.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/mesh_text_chat.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+One important point is that by default the microphone is turned off. When doing voice chat you can select the microphone volume with the drop down slider in the top right corner of the screen.
+
+At present video doesn't work reliably, but text and voice chat do work well.
+
+** Sharing Files
+You can make files publicly available on the network simply by dragging and dropping them into the /Public/ folder on the desktop. To view the files belonging to another user select the desktop icon called /Visit a site/ and enter the username or Tox ID of the other user.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/mesh_share_files.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+** Blogging
+To create a blog post select the /Blog/ icon on the desktop and then use the up and down cursor keys, space bar and enter key to add a new entry. Edit the title of the entry and add your text. You can also include photos if you wish - just copy them to the *CreateBlog/content/images* directory and then link to them as shown.
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER
+[[file:images/mesh_new_blog.jpg]]
+#+END_CENTER
+
+To finish your blog entry just select /Save/ and then close the editor. On older hardware it may take a while to publish the results, and this depends upon the amount of computation needed by IPFS to create file hashes. If you make no changes to the default text then the new blog entry will not be saved.

-* Mesh Network: Capabilities
-
-The mesh system has the following capabilities:
-
- - Discovery of other users on the network
- - Text based chat, one-to-one and in groups
- - Voice chat (VoIP) and video calls
- - Private and public sharing of files
- - Blogging
- - Collaborative editing of documents and presentations
- - Social network stream. Follow/unfollow other peers
- - No network administration required
- - No servers
- - Internet connection is optional
- - Works from bootable USB drives or microSD drives
- - Data is mesh routed between systems
- - Private communications is end-to-end secured and forward secret
- - Publicly shared data is /content addressable/
-
-This system should be quite scalable. Both qTox and IPFS are based upon distributed hash tables (DHT) so that each peer does not need to store the full index of data for the entire network. Gossiping between SSB peers may be slower, but the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-world_network][small world effect]] will presumably still make for quite efficient delivery in a large network. Caching or pinning of IPFS data and its content addressability means that if a file or blog becomes popular then performance should improve as the number of downloads increases, which is the opposite of the client/server paradigm.

-* Mesh Network: Images
-
-* Pre-built Disk Images
-** Writing many images quickly
-There may be situations where you need to write the same disk image to multiple drives at the same time in order to maximize rate of deployment. In the instructions given below the *dd* command is used for writing to the target drive, but to write to multiple drives you can use a tool such as [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/MultiWriter][GNOME MultiWriter]].
-
-For example on Arch/Parabola:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo pacman -S gnome-multi-writer
-#+end_src
-
-Or on Debian based systems:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo apt-get install gnome-multi-writer
-#+end_src
-
-The MultiWriter tool is also available within mesh client images, so that you can use mesh systems to create more copies of the same system.
-** Client images
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_netbook.jpg]]
-
-"Client" isn't exactly the right term, but it's a mesh peer with a user interface. These images can be copied to a USB drive, then you can plug it into a laptop/netbook/desktop machine and boot from it. You will probably also need an Atheros USB wifi dongle (the black protruding object on the left side of the netbook in the picture above), because most built-in wifi usually requires proprietary firmware. In the commands below substitute /dev/sdX with the USB drive device, excluding any trailing numbers (eg. /dev/sdb). The USB drive you're copying to will need to be at least 16GB in size.
-
-Install some prerequisites:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo apt-get install xz-utils nodejs
-sudo npm install -g dat
-#+end_src
-
-To download images with dat:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-dat clone dat://e2ed9767d6ab64f4c43a2adbce65af225133fec7ba95737f0a2f6ae292ba358e/
-cd e2ed9767d6ab64f4c43a2adbce65af225133fec7ba95737f0a2f6ae292ba358e
-#+end_src
-
-Check the signature:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-gpg --verify freedombone-meshclient-i386.img.xz.sig
-unxz freedombone-meshclient-i386.img.xz
-#+end_src
-
-Then clone to the USB drive, where sdX is your USB device:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=32M count=8
-sudo dd bs=32M if=freedombone-meshclient-i386.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror
-#+end_src
-
-To get a number of systems onto the mesh repeat the /dd/ command to create however many bootable USB drives you need.
-
-If you're in an emergency and don't have Atheros wifi dongles then there is also an "insecure" image which contains some proprietary wifi drivers which may work with a wider range of laptops. Proprietary drivers *are not recommended* because they're unsupportable and may be exploitable or contain malicious antifeatures which fundamentally compromise the security of the network. However, the trade-off between security/maintainability and simply having the ability to communicate at all may be a valid one in some situations.
-
-Install some prerequisites:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo apt-get install xz-utils nodejs
-sudo npm install -g dat
-#+end_src
-
-To download images with dat:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-dat clone dat://6d1b73d13b6f9b5c481c6dfd64be6aa58e1cd2d153a6bb04bbc177999ee9925e/
-cd 6d1b73d13b6f9b5c481c6dfd64be6aa58e1cd2d153a6bb04bbc177999ee9925e
-#+end_src
-
-Check the signature:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-gpg --verify freedombone-meshclient-insecure-i386.img.xz.sig
-unxz freedombone-meshclient-insecure-i386.img.xz
-#+end_src
-
-Then clone to the USB drive, where sdX is your USB device:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=32M count=8
-sudo dd bs=32M if=freedombone-meshclient-insecure-i386.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror
-#+end_src
-
-** Router images
-Routers are intended to build network coverage for an area using small and low cost hardware. You can bolt them to walls or leave them on window ledges. They don't have any user interface and their only job is to haul network traffic across the mesh and to enable peers to find each other via running bootstrap nodes for Tox and IPFS. Copy the image to a microSD card and insert it into the router, plug in an Atheros wifi dongle and power on. That should be all you need to do.
-*** Beaglebone Black
-#+attr_html: :width 50% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_router.jpg]]
-
-The above picture shows a Beaglebone Black with the image copied onto a microSD card (there's no need to do anything with the internal EMMC). A USB Atheros wifi adaptor with a large antenna is attached and in this case power is from the mains, although it could be from a battery or solar power system capable of supplying 5 volts and maybe 1A (depending upon how active the router is).
-
-Install some prerequisites:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo apt-get install xz-utils nodejs
-sudo npm install -g dat
-#+end_src
-
-To download images with dat:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-dat clone dat://a4e79e49c6e77b919d4ae4827037e813ef1ba2734c342d0d78146ce16a819ebb/
-cd a4e79e49c6e77b919d4ae4827037e813ef1ba2734c342d0d78146ce16a819ebb
-#+end_src
-
-Check the signature:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-gpg --verify freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img.sig
-unxz freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img.xz
-#+end_src
-
-Then clone to the microSD drive, where sdX is your device name:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=32M count=8
-sudo dd bs=32M if=freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror
-#+end_src
-
-If you have a few Beaglebone Blacks to use as routers then repeat the /dd/ command to create however many microSD cards you need.
-
-There is still a software freedom issue with the Beaglebone Black, but it doesn't prevent you from running a fully free system on the board. The TI AM335X SOC has a PowerVR SGX530 GPU which will only run with a proprietary blob, but this would only be an issue for systems with a monitor or LCD screen attached running a desktop environment which also needs GPU acceleration. For "headless" systems such as servers or mesh routers this isn't a problem.
-
-* Building Disk Images
-It's better not to trust images downloaded from random places on the interwebs. Chances are that unless you are in the web of trust of the above GPG signatures then they don't mean very much to you. If you actually want something trustworthy then build the images from scratch. It will take some time. Here's how to do it.
-
-First you will need to create an image. On a Debian based system (tested on Debian Stretch):
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo apt-get install xz-utils nodejs
-sudo npm install -g dat
-#+end_src
-
-To download images with dat:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-dat clone dat://e9cbf606e55cdaa85199f4e6ec25ff7456775389979a668b3faf33e057493f8e/
-cd e9cbf606e55cdaa85199f4e6ec25ff7456775389979a668b3faf33e057493f8e
-#+end_src
-
-Check the signature:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-gpg --verify freedombone.tar.gz.sig
-#+end_src
-
-Install it:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-tar -xzvf freedombone.tar.gz
-cd freedombone
-git checkout stretch
-sudo make install
-#+end_src
-
-Setup your build environment. If you're using Arch/Parabola substitute /debian/ for /parabola/.
-
-#+begin_src bash
-freedombone-image --setup debian
-#+end_src
-
-And then build the image:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-freedombone-image -t i386 -v meshclient
-#+end_src
-
-If you don't have Atheros or free software compatible wifi adapter then you can include proprietary wifi drivers which will work with most laptops. This is *NOT RECOMMENDED* because proprietary drivers are unsupportable and may contain either malware or be exploitable in a way which can't be fixed. However, if you're in an emergency and don't have any Atheros or free software wifi USB dongles then you can use the following command to make the image:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-freedombone-image -t i386 -v meshclient --insecure yes
-#+end_src
-
-This takes a while. Maybe an hour or so, depending on the speed of your system and the internets. The good news though is that once created you can use the resulting image any number of times, and you don't need to trust some pre-built image.
-
-List what drives are on your system with:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-ls /dev/sd*
-#+end_src
-
-Now plug in the USB thumb drive, and do the same again. Notice which drive letter gets added.
-
-You can now copy the image to the USB thumb drive, replacing *sdX* with the identifier of the USB thumb drive. Don't include any numbers (so for example use *sdc* instead of *sdc1*).
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=32M count=8
-sudo dd bs=32M if=myimagefile.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror
-#+end_src
-
-And wait. Again it will take a while to copy over. When that's done plug it into the laptop or netbook which you want to use on the mesh, power on and set the BIOS to boot from the USB stick.
-
-On first boot you'll be asked to set a username, and then you can open the chat client and select the *users* icon to show the Tox IDs for other users on the mesh. When folks join they will be announced.
-
-Rinse, repeat, for any number of laptops that you want to get onto the mesh or to build out coverage within an area. There are no servers. Just peer-to-peer communications routed through the network which are end-to-end secure after a friend request is accepted. By default the chat client doesn't log anything.
-
-You can also use single board computers (SBCs) such as the BeagleBone Black to make mesh routers which can be bolted to walls or the sides of buildings and consume minimal electrical power, so could be solar or battery powered for short term events such as festivals. To do that use the following command to make the image:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-freedombone-image -t beaglebone -v mesh
-#+end_src
-
-The resulting image can be copied to a microSD card, inserted into a Beaglebone Black and booted. Don't forget to plug in an Atheros USB wifi dongle.

-* Mesh Network: Philosophic
-
-#+begin_quote
- "/I see mesh networks naturally evolving to become the dominant form of network over the next few decades, because it’s the most practical solution to a number of problems that will have to be solved in order to build the VR web as well as to connect the entire world to the internet. Centralized networks are only possible in highly developed countries with existing infrastructures like power and telephone grids, as well as roads. You can’t build a tower where you don’t have either power or access. For vast areas of the world, mesh networks will be the only feasible solution./" -- Valkyrie Ice
-#+end_quote
-
-The Freedombone mesh roughly follows MondoNet's ten social specifications:
-
-* Decentralized
-The network should not be operated, maintained, or in any way reliant upon a single or minimally differentiated set of entities or technologies. No individual, entity or group should be central to the network to the extent that their absence would measurably impact its functionality or scope. Network participation should not require access to fixed, physical infrastructure of any sort.
-
-* Universally Accessible
-The requisite technology and expertise required to participate in the network should be available at minimal cost and effort to every human being on the planet. Furthermore, all users should be able to extend the network’s content and functionality to suit their own needs, or those of others. No aspect of the network’s functioning should be reliant upon proprietary technologies, information or capital.
-
-* Censor-proof
-The network should be resistant to both regulatory and technical attempts to limit the nature of the information shared, restrict usage by given individuals or communities, or render the network, or any portion of it, inoperable or inaccessible.
-
-* Surveillance-proof
-The network should enable users to choose exactly what information they share with whom, and to participate anonymously if they so desire. Users should only have access to information if they are the designated recipients, or if it has been published openly.
-
-* Secure
-The network should be organized in a way that minimizes the risk of malicious attacks or engineering failure. Information exchanged on the network should meet or exceed the delivery rate and reliability of information exchanged via the Internet.
-
-* Scalable
-The network should be organized with the expectation that its scale could reach or even exceed that of today’s Internet. Special care should be taken to address to the challenge of maintaining efficiency without the presence of a centralized backbone.
-
-* Permanent
-The network’s density and redundancy should be great enough that, despite its ad hoc nature, it will persistently operate on a broad scale, and be available in full to any user within range of another peer.
-
-* Fast (enough)
-The network should always achieve whatever speed is required for a “bottom line” level of social and cultural participation. At present, we assert that the network’s data transfer rate should, at a minimum, be enough for voice-over-IP (VoIP) communications, and low-bitrate streaming video.
-
-* Independent
-While the network will have the capacity to exchange information with Internet users and nodes, it should be able to operate independently, as well. A large-scale failure or closure of Internet infrastructure and content should have minimal effect on the network’s operations.
-
-* Evolvable
-The network should be built with future development in mind. The platform should be flexible enough to support technologies, protocols and modes of usage that have not yet been developed.

-* Mesh Network: How to use it
-
- * [[Boot trouble]]
- * [[Set the Date]]
- * [[Check network status]]
- * [[Connecting to the internet]]
- * [[Connecting two meshes over the internet via a VPN tunnel]]
- * [[Mobile devices (phones, etc)]]
- * [[Chat System]]

- * [[Blogging]]
-
-When you first boot from the USB drive the system will create some encryption keys, assign a unique network address to the system and then reboot itself. When that's done you should see a prompt asking for a username. This username just makes it easy for others to initially find you on the mesh and will appear in the list of users.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_initial_login.jpg]]
-
-
-After a minute or two if you are within wifi range and there is at least one other user on the network then you should see additional icons appear on the desktop, such as /Other Users/ and /Chat/.
-
-* Boot trouble
-If the system doesn't boot and reports an error which includes */dev/mapper/loop0p1* then reboot with *Ctrl-Alt-Del* and when you see the grub menu press *e* and manually change */dev/mapper/loop0p1* to */dev/sdb1*, then press *Ctrl-x*. If that doesn't work then reboot and try */dev/sdc1* instead.
-
-After the system has booted successfully the problem should resolve itself on subsequent reboots.
-* Set the Date
-On the ordinary internet the date and time of your system would be set automatically via NTP. But this is not the internet and so you will need to manually ensure that your date and time settings are correct. You might need to periodically do this if your clock drifts. It's not essential that the time on your system be highly accurate, but if it drifts too far or goes back to epoch then things could become a little confusing in regard to the order of blog posts.
-
-*Right click on the date* in the top right corner of the screen. Select *preferences*, then click the *Time Settings* button. You can then select the date from the calendar and set the time, then click the *Set System Time* button. Enter the default password, which is /freedombone/.
-* Check network status
-Unlike with ordinary wifi, on the mesh you don't get a signal strength icon and so it's not simple to see if you have a good connection.
-
-Select the wifi icon on the desktop and enter the password '/freedombone/'. The network configuration will go into a monitoring mode and in the bottom right side of the window you will be able to see signal strength and other parameters. This can help you to locate systems or adjust antennas to get the best wifi performance.

-When you are finished close the window and then select the /Network Restart/ desktop icon, which will restart the B.A.T.M.A.N. network. You can also use the restart icon if you are within range of the mesh network but the /Chat/ and /Other Users/ icons do not automatically appear after a few minutes.
-* Connecting to the internet
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_architecture2.jpg]]
-
-If you need to be able to access the internet from the mesh then connect one of the peers to an internet router using an ethernet cable (shown as yellow above), then reboot it. Other peers in the mesh, including any attached mobile devices, will then be able to access the internet using the ethernet attached peer as a gateway. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freifunk][Freifunk]] works in a similar way.
-
-After connecting one peer to the internet you may need to reboot other peers in order to update their network configurations.
-
-If for legal reasons you need to connect to the internet via a VPN then openvpn is preinstalled and you can run the command:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo openvpn myclient.ovpn
-#+end_src
-
-Where /myclient.ovpn/ comes from your VPN provider and with the password "/freedombone/".
-* Connecting two meshes over the internet via a VPN tunnel
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_architecture_vpn.jpg]]
-
-Maybe the internet exists, but you don't care about getting any content from it and just want to use it as a way to connect mesh networks from different geographical locations together.
-
-In your home directory on a system connected via ethernet to an internet router you'll find a file called *vpn.tar.gz*. If you want another mesh to be able to connect to yours then send them this file and get them to uncompress it into their home directory also on an internet gateway machine. If they have an external IP address or domain name for your router then they will be able to VPN connect using the *Connect Meshes* icon. They should also forward port 653 from their internet router to the mesh gateway machine.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 80% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_connect.png]]
-
-You should create a new *vpn.tar.gz* file for every other mesh which wants to be able to connect to yours. If you are prompted for a password it is 'freedombone'.
-
-From a deep packet inspection point of view the traffic going over the internet between mesh gateways will just look like any other TLS connection to a server.
-
-* Mobile devices (phones, etc)
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_architecture3.jpg]]
-
-To allow mobile devices to connect to the mesh you will need a second wifi adapter connected to your laptop/netbook/SBC. Plug in a second wifi adapter then reboot the system. The second adaptor will then create a wifi hotspot (the connection shown in green above) which mobile devices can connect to. The hotspot name also contains its local IP address (eg. "/mesh-192.168.1.83/").
-
-On a typical Android device go to *Settings* then *Security* and ensure that *Unknown sources* is enabled. Also within *Wifi* from the *Settings* screen select the mesh hotspot. The password is "/freedombone/". Open a non-Tor browser and navigate to the IP address showing in the hotspot name. You can then download and install mesh apps.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 50% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_mobileapps.jpg]]
-
-On some android devices you may need to move the downloaded APK file from the *Downloads* directory to your *home* directory before you can install it.
-* Chat System
-
-Ensure that you're within wifi range of at least one other mesh peer (could be a router or client) and then you should see that the /Chat/ and /Other Users/ icons appear. Select the users icon and you should see a list of users on the mesh.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 50% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_peerslist.png]]
-
-Selecting a user followed by the Ok button will copy their Tox ID to the clipboard.
-
-Now select the /Chat/ icon and once you are connected you should see the status light turn green. If after a few minutes you don't get the green status light then try closing and re-opening the Tox chat application. Select the plus button to add a friend and then paste in a Tox ID.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 80% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_paste_tox_id.jpg]]
-
-The other user can then accept or decline your friend request.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 80% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_friend_request.jpg]]
-
-You can also select an avatar by selecting the grey head and shoulders image.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_choose_avatar.jpg]]
-
-And by selecting the user from the list on the left hand side the chat can begin.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_text_chat.jpg]]
-
-One important point is that by default the microphone is turned off. When doing voice chat you can select the microphone volume with the drop down slider in the top right corner of the screen.
-
-At present video doesn't work reliably, but text and voice chat do work well.
-
-* Collaborative document editing
-The mesh system includes the ability to collaboratively edit various sorts of documents using CryptPad. CryptPad is an almost peer-to-peer system in that it is designed for a client/server environment but that the server aspect of it is very minimal and limited to orchestrating the connected clients. With CryptPad installed on each mesh peer it effectively enables peer-to-peer collaborative editing. Documents are ephemeral and forgotten unless they're exported or copy-pasted to permanent storage.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_cryptpad1.jpg]]
-
-To create a document click on the CryptPad icon. Depending upon the specifications of your system it may take a few seconds to load, so don't be too disturned if the browser contents look blank for a while. Select _Rich Text Pad_ and give yourself a username.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_cryptpad2.jpg]]
-
-If you have the chat system running you can then copy and paste the URL for your pad into the chat, and the other user can then open the link and edit the document with you. You can repeat that for however many other users you wish to be able to edit.
-
-* Social Network
-
-Patchwork is available as a social networking system for the mesh. Like all social network systems it has a stream of posts and you can follow or unfollow other users. You can also send private messages to other users with end-to-end encryption.
-
-Double click on the "Social" icon to open the app, then add your nickname and optionally a description. If you want to choose an avatar image some can be found within the directory */usr/share/freedombone/avatars*. On older systems or systems without a hardware random number generator, Patchwork sometimes takes a long time (a few minutes) to open for the first time after clicking the icon. This is most likely due to the initial generation of encryption keys, so be patient.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 80% :align center
-[[file:images/patchwork_setup.jpg]]
-
-Other Patchwork users on the mesh will appear automatically under the *local* list and you can select and follow them if you wish. It's also possible to select the dark theme from *settings* on the drop down menu if you prefer.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 80% :align center
-[[file:images/patchwork_public.jpg]]
-
-The Secure Scuttlebutt protocol which Patchwork is based upon is intended to be robust to intermittent network connectivity, so you can write posts when out of range and they will sync once you are back in the network.
-
-* Sharing Files
-You can make files publicly available on the network simply by dragging and dropping them into the /Public/ folder on the desktop. To view the files belonging to another user select the desktop icon called /Visit a site/ and enter the username or Tox ID of the other user.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 80% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_share_files.jpg]]
-
-* Blogging
-To create a blog post select the /Blog/ icon on the desktop and then select *New blog entry* and *Ok*. Edit the title of the entry and add your text. You can also include photos if you wish - just copy them to the *CreateBlog/content/images* directory and then link to them as shown.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 50% :align center
-[[file:images/mesh_blog.png]]
-
-To finish your blog entry just select /Save/ and then close the editor. On older hardware it may take a while to publish the results, and this depends upon the amount of computation needed by IPFS to create file hashes. If you make no changes to the default text then the new blog entry will not be saved.

+
+* What are mirrors and why do they exist?
+It would be nice if all of the applications used by this project were packaged for Debian, but currently they're not. This means that various upstream git repositories are used and these mostly reside on Github. What if Github were to go away, become paying only or be censored in some manner which was difficult to work around? To guard against this possibility the repositories are mirrored on each install and can then be made available to other users so that new installations or updates could still occur without the original default repos.
+* What security do mirrors have?
+On each install you have a /mirrors/ user created, whose only purpose is to mirror upstream repositories. A random password is generated for the /mirrors/ user which can be seen within the control panel and so given to other users who may need it.
+* How do I set up mirrors?
+The interactive installer will ask whether you want to configure the main respositories. Enter the URL, which will typically be an onion address, the ssh port number and the password for the mirrors on that system.
+* Do mirrors include debian package repositories?
+No. Packages for Debian will still be accessed in the conventional manner.
+* Can I change mirrors after the system has been installed
+Yes. From the control panel select "/Set the main repository/"
+
+#+BEGIN_CENTER

-Use a Linux based phone operating system. Typically this will mean Android, but could also mean LineageOS or Replicant. LineageOS is the most preferable, because you can usually get an up to date image with a recent kernel which will give you better security against exploits. If you're buying a phone then look for a model which is supported by LineageOS. Replicant is the most free (as in freedom) but only runs on a small number of phone models. If you have a phone which runs a full GNU/Linux system then that's fantastic, and you can probably use it in much the same way as a desktop system and the rest of the advice on this page won't apply. If you don't have a phone capable of running a Linux based operating system then consider selling, giving away or bartering your existing one.

-In the end it comes down to the fact that /if the source code for the device cannot be independently audited to check for backdoors, bugs and so on, then it can't actually be trusted/. It doesn't matter if there's a supposedly secure enclave on your closed source gadget. No matter how well-meaning or brave people running companies may be, local laws may force them to add backdoors into their systems (sometimes called "technical capabilities order" or "lawful interception") or to give away the encryption keys (Lavabit) or they may also do that purely for business reasons such as being able to sell you to their advertising customers and so on.

 Installing *F-droid* and only adding any new apps via F-droid will ensure that you are always using free and open source software. Open source is not a panacea, since bugs can and do still occur, but it will help you to avoid the worst security and privacy pitfalls.
 
-Avoid using the Open Whisper Systems Signal app if you can, no matter what "experts" say about it. There are multiple reasons for this which you can find in the [[./faq.html][FAQ]].
-
 * Lock
 
 Add a lock screen, preferably with a password which is not easy for other people to guess or for quicker access with a PIN number. Install an app called *Locker*, activate it and set the maximum number of password guesses to ten (or whatever you feel comfortable with). If bad people get hold of your phone then they may try to brute force your lock screen password or PIN (i.e. automatically trying millions of common word and number combinations) and the locker app will prevent them from succeeding by resetting the phone back to its factory default condition and wiping the data.

 In F-droid under the *repositories* menu you can enable the *guardian project*, and then install *Orbot*. Within subsequently installed apps, such as those for XMPP chat, there is often a setting which allows the connection to then be routed through Tor. Also you can install *OrFox* and use that as your default browser. Within OrFox for the sites you regularly use you can add a NoScript exception via the menu.
 
-* Email
-The easiest way to access email is by installing the [[./app_mailpile.html][Mailpile]] app. This keeps your GPG keys off of possibly insecure mobile devices but still enables encrypted email communications in an easy way. You can use K9 mail if you prefer, but that will require installing OpenKeychain and having your GPG keys on the device, which is a lot more risky.
-* Services
-For information on configuring various apps to work with Freedombone see the [[file:./apps.html][apps section]]. Also see advice on chat apps in the [[file:./faq.html][FAQ]].
+* ssh
 
-* Battery
+The most secure way to access email is via an ssh connection and shell interface. This is not highly convenient, but it does keep your email and GPG key off of the phone which improves your security. If your phone is subsequently stolen then even if an adversary can get past the lock screen /there are no emails stored on the phone/. Install *Connectbot*, generate an RSA key of at least 2048 bits and give it a password. Copy and paste the ssh public key to a pastebin and then add it to /home/myusername/.ssh/authorized keys on Freedombone. Then add an ssh account for the Freedombone, using port 2222. Before you log in you will need to ensure that the ssh key is unlocked. If you lose your phone then you can remove that public key from /authorized_keys/ and anyone in possession of the phone will no longer be able to get ssh access to your system.
+
+This is a /defense in depth/ approach in which there are multiple hurdles which any adversary must overcome in order to get access to your data in a typical theft scenario. So you have the phone encryption, the lock screen with maximum tries and the ssh key password.
+
+* Services
+For information on configuring various apps to work with Freedombone see the [[file:./usage.html][usage section]]. Also see advice on chat apps in the [[file:./faq.html][FAQ]].
+
+* Battery preservation
 Even with free software apps it's not difficult to get into a situation where your battery doesn't last for long. To maximize battery life access RSS feeds via the onion-based mobile reader within a Tor-compatible browser and not from a locally installed RSS app.
 
 If you have Syncthing installed then change the settings so that it only syncs when charging and when on wifi. Avoid any apps which might be continuously polling and preventing the device from going into sleep mode when it's not used.
 
-If you're using the Riot mobile app to access a Matrix homeserver then you can significantly improve battery performance by going to the settings and changing *Sync request timeout* to 30 seconds and *Delay between two sync requests* to 600 seconds.
-
-It's also recommended to disable battery optimisations for Conversations and Orbot. If you don't do that then you may have trouble receiving messages or some parts of the protocol may break. That can be done by going to *Settings*, selecting *Battery* then opening the menu (top right) and selecting *Battery optimisations* then selecting *Not optimised* and *All apps*, then finally choosing Conversations and Orbot not to be optimised.
-
-* Blocking bad domains
-You can block known bad domains by editing the */system/etc/hosts* file on your device. It is possible to use extensive ad-blocking hosts files used by other ad-blocking systems such as pi-hole, but merely blocking Facebook and Google Analytics will protect you against much of the corporate surveillance which goes on. Even if you don't have a Facebook account this may still be useful since they will still try to create a "ghost profile" of you, so the less data they have the better.
-
-On the device enable *Developer Options* by going to *Settings* then *About* then pressing on *Build number* a few times.
-
-Go to *Settings* then *Developer Options* then set *Root access* to *ADB only* and enable *Android debugging*.
-
-On your system (not the device) install the *android-tools* package. For example, on Arch/Parabola:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo pacman -S android-tools
-#+end_src
-
-Connect the device to your system via a USB cable, then:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-adb root
-adb remount
-adb pull /system/etc/hosts
-#+end_src
-
-Now edit the hosts file which was pulled and append:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-127.0.0.1       www.facebook.com
-127.0.0.1       facebook.com

-#+end_src
-
-Then upload the hosts file back again with:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-adb push hosts /system/etc/hosts
-#+end_src

-* Building an internet run by the users, for the users
-
-The internet may still be mostly in the clutches of a few giant megacorporations and dubious governments with sketchy agendas, but it doesn't have to remain that way. With the third version of the Freedombone system there is now more scope than before to take back your privacy, have ownership of personal data and run your own online communities without undesirable intermediaries.
-
-Freedombone version 3 is based on Debian 9 (Stretch). It was released in July 2017 and includes:
-
- * Faster initial setup
- * More [[./apps.html][installable apps]], including CryptPad, Koel, NextCloud, PostActiv, Friendica and Matrix/RiotWeb
- * Automated [[https://github.com/hardenedlinux/STIG-4-Debian][security tests]]
- * Improved XMPP configuration for support of the [[https://conversations.im][Conversations]] app features
- * Improved blocking controls for a better federated network experience
- * Uses [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdDSA][elliptic curve]] based GPG keys for better performance on low power single board computers
- * Pre-downloaded repos distributed within images for faster and more autonomous app installs
-
-* Installation
-
-The simplest way to install is from a pre-made disk image. Images can be [[https://freedombone.net/downloads/v3][downloaded here]]. You will need to have previously obtained a domain name and have a dynamic DNS account somewhere.
-
-Copy the image to a microSD card or USB thumb drive, replacing sdX with the identifier of the USB thumb drive. Don't include any numbers (so for example use sdc instead of sdc1).
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-unxz downloadedimagefile.img.xz
-dd bs=32M if=downloadedimagefile.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror
-#+END_SRC
-
-And wait. It will take a while to copy over. When that's done you might want to increase the partition size on the drive, using a tool such as [[http://gparted.org][Gparted]]. Whether you need to do that will depend upon how many apps you intend to install and how much data they will store.
-
-Plug the microSD or USB drive into the target hardware which you want to use as a server and power on. If you're using an old laptop or netbook as the server then you will need to set the BIOS to boot from USB.
-
-As the system boots for the first time the login is:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-username: fbone
-password: freedombone
-#+END_SRC
-
-If you're installing from a microSD card on a single board computer without a screen and keyboard attached then you can ssh into it with:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-ssh fbone@freedombone.local -p 2222
-#+END_SRC
-
-Using the initial password "freedombone". If you have trouble accessing the server then make sure you have Avahi installed and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS][mDNS]] enabled.
-
-You will then be shown a new randomly generated password. It's very important that you write this down somewhere or transfer it to a password manager before going further, because you'll need this to log in later.
-
-More detailed installation instructions are linked from [[./index.html][the main site]].
-
-* Upgrading from a previous install
-
-To upgrade from the Debian Jessie version first create a master keydrive. Go to the *Administrator control panel* and select *Backup and restore* then *Backup GPG key to USB (master keydrive)*. Insert a LUKS encrypted USB drive. When that is done Create a full backup by selecting *Backup data to USB drive* and using another LUKS encrypted USB drive.
-
-Follow the installation infstructions for the new Freedombone version, as described in the previous section. When the new system starts installing it will ask if you want to restore your GPG keys. Select *yes* and plug in your master keydrive.
-
-When the initial setup is complete go to the *Administrator control panel* and select *Backup and restore* then *Restore data from USB drive* followed by *all*. Insert the backup USB drive which you made previously. This will restore the base system, including any emails.
-
-You can now go to *Add/Remove apps* on the *Administrator control panel* and add the apps you want. Once they're installed you can recover their content and settings from *Backup and Restore*.

-* *Version 3.1, 2018-04-15*
-
-Newer and shinier than before, [[./index.html][Freedombone]] 3.1 rests upon the solid foundation of Debian stable and delivers major new self-hosted apps, improved mesh networking and a new logo. It supports version 3 onion addresses and the ability to use [[./usage_email.html][email with onion and I2P addresses]]. New apps are:
-
- * [[./app_akaunting.html][Akaunting]]: Personal or small business accounts
- * [[./app_bdsmail.html][bdsmail]]: Avoid PGP complexity by using email over I2P
- * [[./app_bludit.html][Bludit]]: Painless markdown blogging
- * [[./app_edith.html][Edith]]: The simplest possible note taking system
- * [[./app_icecast.html][Icecast]]: Run your own internet radio station
- * [[./app_peertube.html][PeerTube]]: Peer-to-peer video hosting system
- * [[./app_pleroma.html][Pleroma]]: Ultra lightweight fediverse instance with Mastodon compatibility
-
-The [[./mesh.html][mesh version]] now supports BMX6, OLSR2 and Babel routing protocols on layer 3 and so is protocol compatible with [[https://libremesh.org][LibreMesh]]. It also now runs on pure IPv6 and has built in video editor and CryptPad integration for networked collaboration even during times when the internet is not available.
-
-There is a new [[./socialinstance.html][social instance]] image build option, if you want to be able to rapidly deploy fediverse instances, and a [[./devguide.html][template command]] for quickly adding new apps to the system which automates a lot of the boilerplate.
-
-According to some narratives the open web is dying with the silo companies comprising 80% of web traffic and what remains being pushed into an increasingly marginal corner. But at the same time these colonial occupiers have come under renewed [[https://www.wired.co.uk/article/open-letter-mark-zuckerberg-congress][public criticism]] as they continue to abuse their monopoly powers in ever more egregious ways. 2017 seemed to be a turning point in attitudes towards Silicon Valley generally and there is room for a new kind of movement to get started which is about reclaiming the internet for the common good.
-
-This is where we make our stand. If the internet falls then so too does freedom.
-
-The future is decentralized.
-
-* Installation
-
-The simplest way to install is from a pre-made disk image. Images can be [[https://freedombone.net/downloads/v31][downloaded here]]. You will need to have previously obtained a domain name and have a dynamic DNS account somewhere. Or if you don't need clearnet domains and will be using Tor compatible browsers then you can use the "onion only" images where apps will be accessible via an onion address.
-
-Copy the image to a microSD card or USB thumb drive, replacing sdX with the identifier of the USB thumb drive. Don't include any numbers (so for example use sdc instead of sdc1).
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-unxz downloadedimagefile.img.xz
-dd bs=32M if=downloadedimagefile.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror
-#+END_SRC
-
-And wait. It will take a while to copy over. When that's done you might want to increase the partition size on the drive, using a tool such as [[http://gparted.org][Gparted]]. Whether you need to do that will depend upon how many apps you intend to install and how much data they will store.
-
-Plug the microSD or USB drive into the target hardware which you want to use as a server and power on. If you're using an old laptop or netbook as the server then you will need to set the BIOS to boot from USB.
-
-As the system boots for the first time the login is:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash

-#+END_SRC
-
-If you're installing from a microSD card on a single board computer without a screen and keyboard attached then you can ssh into it with:

-
-* Authentication with keys
-It's a lot more secure to log in to the Freedombone system using ssh keys rather than with a password. You can set that up by first running:
-
-#+begin_src bash
-freedombone-client
-#+end_src
-
-On your local system (i.e. whatever you're logging in to the Freedombone system from, typically a laptop). Then:
-
-#+begin_src
-ssh myusername@freedombone.local -p 2222
-#+end_src
-
-Select *Administrator controls* and re-enter your password, then *Manage Users* and *Change user ssh public key*. Copy and paste the ssh public keys which appeared after the *freedombone-client* command was run. Then go to *Security settings* and select *Allow ssh login with passwords* followed by *no*.
-
-You'll need to make sure that you have a copy of the ~/.ssh directory on your local system. You could just copy that directory to a USB drive and then keep that somewhere safe so that you can restore the keys if you need to.
-* Administrating the system via an onion address (Tor)
-You can also access your system via the Tor system using an onion address. To find out what the onion address for ssh access is you can do the following:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-ssh username@freedombone.local -p 2222
-#+END_SRC
-
-Select /Administrator controls/ then select "About this system" and look for the onion address for ssh. You can then close the terminal and open another, then do the following on your local system:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-freedombone-client
-#+END_SRC
-
-This will set up your ssh environment to be able to handle onion addresses. Then you can test ssh with:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-ssh username@address.onion -p 2222
-#+END_SRC
-
-Subsequently even if dynamic DNS isn't working you may still be able to administer your system. Using the onion address also gives you some degree of protection against corporate or government metadata analysis, since it becomes more difficult to passively detect which systems are communicating.

-* Social Instance
-
-A social instance image allows you to easily set up a fediverse server, which federates using the OStatus or ActivityPub protocol. You will need:
-
- * An old laptop, capable of booting from USB
- * A USB drive, preferably Sandisk and 16GB or larger
- * An ethernet patch cable
- * A domain name of your own
- * A dynamic DNS account
- * Ability to alter settings on your internet router
-
-The installation process is the same as usual, with the only difference being that on initial setup it will go straight to the domain setup details for your instance. In summary:
-
-* Copy the image to the USB drive
-
-Substitute *sdX* with the device name for your USB drive.
-
-#+begin_src bash
-sudo apt-get install xz-utils nodejs
-npm install -g dat
-dat clone dat://231b24dbeef3c3f7b115b9c7cd02e416b382df0a1050ef66f94b988fc8dae92e/

-sudo dd bs=32M if=freedombone-pleroma-amd64.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror
-#+end_src
-
-Also note that if the laptop has a removable SSD drive it's possible to copy the image directly to that if you have enough equipment.
-
-* Connect the laptop to your internet router
-
-Plug the USB drive into the laptop and connect it to your internet router with the ethernet cable.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/laptop_router.jpg]]
-
-* Boot the laptop from the USB drive
-
-You may need to alter the BIOS settings to get this to work reliably.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/bios_boot_usb.jpg]]
-
-* Forward ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) from your internet router to the laptop
-
-Log into your internet router using a non-Tor browser (usually it's on an address like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254). Often port forwarding settings are together with firewall settings.
-
-#+attr_html: :width 100% :align center
-[[file:images/port_forwarding.png]]
-
-* From another machine ssh into the laptop
-
-#+begin_src bash
-ssh fbone@freedombone.local -p 2222
-#+END_SRC
-
-Or alternatively you can log in directly on the laptop. The initial username is *fbone* and the password is *freedombone*. You should make sure you write down or copy the new password when it is shown.
-
-* Follow the setup procedure
-
-Enter your user details, domain name and dynamic DNS settings.
-
-* When installation is complete
-
-Navigate to your domain and register a new user.

 Many people are unaware that running their own internet services /is even a possibility/. Many also believe that internet services can be provided only if they're supported by advertising or donations, and that only gigantic data centres have enough computing capacity to serve web pages on a worldwide scale. Others may be fearful of encryption due to misrepresentations or misunderstandings of it in the mainstream media. Some may be intimidated by the apparent complexity and think that you need to be some sort of silicon valley genius in order to run a web service on your own. Even many technically-minded folks often believe that they can't run a home server unless they have a static IP address, which isn't true, and others are put off by thinking that any such server will be immediately [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn][pwned]] by blackhat hackers.

+
+Select *Administrator controls* and re-enter your password, then *Manage Users* and *Change user ssh public key*. Copy and paste the ssh public keys which appeared after the *freedombone-client* command was run. Then go to *Security settings* and select *Allow ssh login with passwords* followed by *no*.
+
+You'll need to make sure that you have a copy of the ~/.ssh directory on your local system. You could just copy that directory to a USB drive and then keep that somewhere safe so that you can restore the keys if you need to.
+* Administrating the system via an onion address (Tor)
+You can also access your system via the Tor system using an onion address. To find out what the onion address for ssh access is you can do the following:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+ssh username@freedombone.local -p 2222
+#+END_SRC
+
+Select /Administrator controls/ then select "About this system" and look for the onion address for ssh. You can then close the terminal and open another, then do the following on your local system:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+freedombone-client
+#+END_SRC
+
+This will set up your ssh environment to be able to handle onion addresses. Then you can test ssh with:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+ssh username@address.onion -p 2222
+#+END_SRC
+
+Subsequently even if dynamic DNS isn't working you may still be able to administer your system. Using the onion address also gives you some degree of protection against corporate or government metadata analysis, since it becomes more difficult to passively detect which systems are communicating.
+* Adding or removing users
+Log into the system with:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+ssh username@domainname -p 2222
+#+END_SRC
+
+Select *Administrator controls* then *User Management*. Depending upon the type of installation after selecting administrator controls you might need to enter:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+sudo su
+control
+#+END_SRC

 * Things to be aware of
 Even though this system makes it easy to set up an email server, running your own email system is still not easy and this is mainly due to the huge amount of collatoral damage caused by spammers over a long period of time, which in turn is due to the inherent insecurity of email protocols which enabled spam to become a big problem. Email is still very popular though and most internet services require that you have an email address in order to register.

-A way to avoid these pitfalls altogether is to use onion addresses (see the section below) or [[./app_bdsmail.html][I2P addresses]] for email. These are not so convenient because they use long random strings which aren't memorable as addresses, but they do give a strong assurance that whoever recieves the message is the intended recipient and that emails can't be read passively during their transport across the internet.
 * Add a password to your GPG key
 If you didn't use existing GPG keys during the Freedombone installation then you'll need to add a password to your newly generated private key. This is highly recommended. Go through the following sequence of commands to ssh into the Freedombone and then change your GPG password.

+* K9 Android client
+*** A point about GPG on Android
+Before trying to set up email on Android you may want to consider whether you really need to do this. Android (and its variants) is not a particularly secure operating system and whether or not you wish to store GPG keys on it depends on your threat model and in what situations you'll be using your device.
+
+If you are going to use email on an Android device then ensure that you have full encryption enabled via the security settings, so that if you subsequently lose it, or if it gets stolen, the chances of encryption keys being exposed are minimised.
+*** Compiling the development version
+To get K9 working with Freedombone you'll need to install development versions of OpenKeychain and K9. At the time of writing the versions available in F-Droid do not support PGP/MIME or the "hidden recipient" feature of GPG. It is hoped that at some stage the patches will be integrated into the mainline or functionally equivalent changes made. Admittedly, this is not at all user friendly, but currently it's the only way to read Freedombone email on Android systems.

 Select /Administrator controls/ then *Email filtering rules* then *Block/Unblock and email address* or *Block/Unblock email with subject line*. Also see the manpage for *freedombone-ignore*.
-* Using onion email addresses
-By default this system comes with the ability to send and receive emails using onion addresses as the domain name. On the *user control panel* if you select *Show your email address* then you should find one ending with /dot onion/. You will also see a QR code for that address, which provides a simple way to transfer it to a mobile phone if necessary.
+* Your own mailing list
+If you want to set up a public mailing list then when installing the system remember to set the *PUBLIC_MAILING_LIST* variable within *freedombone.cfg* to the name of your list. The name should have no spaces in it. Public mailing lists are unencrypted so anyone will be able to read the contents, including non subscribers.
 
-If you want to give your onion email address to someone else securely then you can use the QR code to transfer it to a phone and copy and paste the address into an encrypted chat app, such as Conversations. Of course they will probably also need to be running Freedombone or some system capable of handling onion email addresses.
+To subscribe to your list send a cleartext email to:
 
-When sending email from an onion address it's not strictly necessary to use GPG/PGP. Tor handles the transport security by itself. You can still use it though if you prefer to have an extra layer of message security. You can also still use onion email addresses even if your ISP blocks the typical email ports (25 and 465).
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+mymailinglistname+subscribe@domainname
+#+END_SRC
 
-If you don't make your onion email address public then it should be fairly resisent to spam, since spammers won't be able to randomly guess onion addresses (there are far too many), whereas it's a lot easier for them to do that with conventional domain names.
-* Using I2P for email transport
-For the most paranoid use cases it is also possible to use I2P as an email transport mechanism. This will of course require the people you're communicating with to have a similar setup in place. For details see the [[./app_bdsmail.html][bdsmail app]]. An advantage of this is that it's very unlikely that your email will get blocked. The disadvantage is that few others will be capable of receiving email this way, and it's only really usable via the Mutt email client.
+Tip: When using the Mutt email client if you want to send an email in cleartext then press *p* (for PGP) on the sending screen and select *clear*. Unsecure email is treated as being the exception rather than the default.
