[Freedombox-discuss] PlugServer Self-Configuration Complete
Hello people and congratulations Nick,
... with completing this package. I'll be locking myself indoors this
weekend to test it. I love the fact that you kept this no-nosense and
focused on the essential parts. The engine of the project is what really
matters in this stage of developing: bodyworks and usability is important
too off course, but this is rather icing than essence at the moment, imho.
To all the other people reading/following/crafting/developing this important
tool, I would like to say: (carefully) consider the time (and perception)
people have put into this open-source project before commenting.
Finally a workable version, I'm really exited and can't wait for the weekend
to begin !
Greetings from Belgium :)

> Why do this?
>
> To make basic server configuration easier for FreedomBox / plug-server
> early adopters. I'm trying to both inspire folks to build on this

> Why is it the way it is?
>
> It's a bunch of server scripts. It's not using any of the more
> sustainable or maintainable methods that have been suggested on this
> mailing list, like debconf-preseeding or a custom meta-package with
> post-install script. I wasn't able to get preseeding working
> correctly (none of the packages I needed seemed to support preseeding
> options) and didn't have time to figure out the black art of packaging
> within my two month timeline.

> What should I be aware of?

> The goal is to set up the server as automatically as possible. You

> There might be a few bugs in there, I've noted what I've found.

> What next?

> Please try it out! Please let me know how useful you find it, any
> bugs you find in it, and what you'd like to see come next.
