Welcome to FreedomBox support and collaboration space.

FreedomBox is a self-hosting server aimed at protecting your privacy and data ownership. You can use FreedomBox at home to replace services provided by third-parties mining your life and using your content. It is also a 100% free software web server that makes it easy to deploy social applications on small machines by providing a selected collection of online communication tools.

Thanks to a very friendly interface, you will be able to deploy on demand applications focusing on confidentiality such as file sharing, shared calendaring, instant messaging, secure voice conference calling, blog and wiki. Once installed, the simplicity of setting up and operating a FreedomBox is similar to that of a smart phone.

FreedomBox is a product you can just buy, set up and use.

Alternatively, you can build it yourself. FreedomBox's software stack is a subset of the Debian universal operating system, designed to be installed on many flavors of inexpensive and power-efficient Open Source hardware, called single board computers (SBC). It can be installed on other hardware too.

Continue reading a general overview and get your FreedomBox. Then get instant help and contribute.

-== Vision ==
+FreedomBox is a product you can just [https://freedomboxfoundation.org/buy/ buy], set up and use.
-We live in a world where our use of the network is mediated by organizations that often do not have our best interests at heart. By building software that does not rely on a central service, we can regain control and privacy. By keeping our data in our homes, we gain useful legal protections over it. By giving back power to the users over their networks and machines, we are returning the Internet to its intended peer-to-peer architecture.
+Alternatively, you can build it yourself. FreedomBox's software stack is a subset of the Debian universal operating system, designed to be installed on many flavors of inexpensive and power-efficient Open Source [[/Hardware|hardware]], called single board computers (SBC). It can be installed on other hardware too.
-In order to bring about the new network order, it is paramount that it is easy to convert to it. The hardware it runs on must be cheap. The software it runs on must be easy to install and administrate by anybody. It must be easy to transition from existing services. There are a number of projects working to realize a future of distributed services; we aim to bring them all together in a convenient package.
