# Description

FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote
personal servers running free software for private, personal
communications.  It is a networking appliance designed to allow
interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of
protected privacy and data security.  It hosts applications such as
blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay,
on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data
stays with you.

This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core
functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is
extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each
module or application provides simplified user interface to control the
underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is
possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system
parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.

You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the
