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