This solution has been tested a few times by me
Summary
The solution below will get you up and running on docker in 30 mins (Debian Testing and Unstable tested)
Problem
This allows you to get a FreedomBox default install with minimal changes (just line of code probably a bug) and removal of an application. Some applications were not in a dependency.
Solution
This solution basically uses apt-get install freedombox, apt-get remove resolvconf and a one liner in code, with proper docker configuration.
Screenshots/Layouts
(Any screenshots, UI layouts or diagrams relevant to the plan.)
Alternatives
(Description of any alternatives and why they were not chosen.)
Tasks
Presetup on docker please have this configured so services will work with tor and other FreedomBox Services:
/etc/docker/daemon.json
{
“userland-proxy”: false,
“iptables”: true,
“ipv6”: true,
“fixed-cidr-v6”: “2001:db8:1::/64”
}
systemctl restart docker
-
docker pull debian:testing
docker pull debian:unstable
(pick your poison) -
docker run -itd --name freedombox --privileged -v /run/systemd/system:/run/systemd/system -v /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket -p 4445:80 -p 4446:443 debian:testing /bin/bash
-
docker exec -it freedombox /bin/bash

(you may want to make this non-interactive other wise answer the questions) (Set the passwords asked!)
( i just hit enter for everything didnt make any “changes”)

8. host> docker commit freedombox freedombox
you’ll see a SHA use that and do this:
sha256:821f974045d654a925c64fcaa5b7414a10aded716913743deafc3d33c104a40c
take first 4 digits example 821f97

(for simplicity sakes turn off ldap so we dont need to configure it, it’ll skip this and continue to install if you do this)
28> root@944457c6fee1:/# systemctl start syslog-ng
edit this file, docker doesnt have physical addresses and has a function that needs to be changed:
29> root@944457c6fee1:/# vi /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/plinth/modules/storage/init.py
look for this code and change def get_filesystem_type(mount_point=‘/’):
“”“Returns the type of the filesystem mounted at mountpoint.”“”
for partition in psutil.disk_partitions():
if partition.mountpoint == mount_point:
return partition.fstype
and make it this:
get_filesystem_type(mount_point=‘/’):
“”“Returns the type of the filesystem mounted at mountpoint.”“”
for partition in psutil.disk_partitions(all=True):
if partition.mountpoint == mount_point:
return partition.fstype
30> root@944457c6fee1:# systemctl start plinth
31> root@944457c6fee1:# systemctl start firewalld
(woops we need this , importnant component for auto-configs…possibly)
32> browse to your port things should be and running see screen shots attached:
Grab the password
When you log in you’ll see this enter and start setting things up:
Enter the secret generated during FreedomBox installation. This secret can also be obtained by running the command “sudo cat /var/lib/plinth/firstboot-wizard-secret” on your FreedomBox
