  24       <div class="date">14th March 2014</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>The <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">Freedombox
  26 project</a> is working on to providing the software and hardware for
  27 making it easy for non-technical people to host their data and
  28 communication at home, and being able to communicate with their
  29 friends and family encrypted and away from prying eyes.  It has been
  30 going on for a while, and is slowly progressing towards a new test
  31 release (0.2).  And what day could be better than the Pi day to
  32 announce that the new version will provide "hard drive"/SD card/USB
  33 stick images for Dreamplug, Raspberry Pi and VirtualBox (or any other
  34 virtualization system), and can also be installed using a Debian
  35 installer preseed file.  The Debian based Freedombox is now based on
  36 Debian Jessie, where most of the needed packages used are already
  37 present.  Only one, the freedombox-setup package, is missing.  To try
  38 to build your own boot image to test the current status, fetch the
  39 freedom-maker scripts and build using
  40 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/vmdebootstrap">vmdebootstrap</a>
  41 with a user with sudo access to become root:
  42
  43 <pre>
  44 git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/freedombox/freedom-maker.git \
  45   freedom-maker
  46 sudo apt-get install git vmdebootstrap mercurial python-docutils \
  47   mktorrent extlinux virtualbox qemu-user-static binfmt-support \
  48   u-boot-tools
  49 make -C freedom-maker dreamplug-image raspberry-image virtualbox-image
  50 </pre>
  51
  52 <p>Root access is needed to run debootstrap and mount loopback
  53 devices.  See the README for more details on the build. If you do not
  54 want all three images, trim the make line.  But note that thanks to <a
  55 href="https://bugs.debian.org/741407">a race condition in
  56 vmdebootstrap</a>, the build might fail without the patch to the
  57 kpartx call.</p>
  58
  59 <p>If you instead want to install using a Debian CD and the preseed
  60 method, boot a Debian Wheezy ISO and use this boot argument to load
  61 the preseed values:</p>
  62
  63 <pre>
  64 url=<a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat</a>
  65 </pre>
  66
  67 <p>But note that due to <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/740673">a
  68 recently introduced bug in apt in Jessie</a>, the installer will
  69 currently hang while setting up APT sources.  Killing the
  70 '<tt>apt-cdrom ident</tt>' process when it hang a few times during the
  71 installation will get the installation going.  This affect all
  72 installations in Jessie, and I expect it will be fixed soon.</p>
  73
  74 Give it a go and let us know how it goes on the mailing list, and help
  75 us get the new release published. :) Please join us on
  76 <a href="irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox">IRC (#freedombox on
  77 irc.debian.org)</a> and
  78 <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss">the
  79 mailing list</a> if you want to help make this vision come true.</p>
