Latest revision as of 04:19, 26 July 2025

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.

-== Leaving The Cloud ==
-[[/Download|Download]] FreedomBox now to get started! You may either use it on one of the supported [[FreedomBox/Hardware|hardware]], install it on a [[FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian|Debian]] operating system, or deploy on a virtual machine. Installing on Debian is easy because FreedomBox is available as packages. On hardware, you may need a little bit of technical expertise to setup. What we are requiring is to buy a device and plug in an SD card. In case of trouble, please read and interact with the [[FreedomBox/QuestionsAndAnswers|Questions and Answers]] page based on [[https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss|Freedombox-discuss]] mailing list archives.
-== Get Involved ==
-We would like to have a [[FreedomBox/ReleaseNotes|version 1.0]] soon. We target including some of the translation work in a 0.7 release for December. If you wish to see FreedomBox available for one of your languages, please start a discussion on the FreedomBox discuss mailing list. We are targeting mid January for a 0.8 release. The main focus of the 0.8 release is going to be integrated in the PGP based SSL Client authentication work. We are planning on a 0.9 polish release for late February with general usability improvements. Our next call is scheduled for Saturday, December 12th, 2015, 2 PM UTC (Social Hacks).
