!FreedomBox is a self-hosting server aimed at protecting your privacy and data ownership.

Features

Implemented

Here is a list of user-facing features that have been implemented in !FreedomBox. You can also check FreedomBox introduction and supported hardware related pages.

Use Cases for User Applications

!FreedomBox makes it easy to:

* Chat with friends via your own chat servers
* The Matrix server allows secure, decentralized communication via text, voice and video. Files or pictures can also be shared. Coturn helps, if your !FreedomBox is behind a router (NAT).
* An alternative standard is XMPP with similar features. You can host your own Ejabberd server and use the Web interface JSXC on your own !FreedomBox as client.
* Mumble is your choice for pure real-time voice conferences.
* Remain connected to some external chat rooms while you're absent; for IRC with Quassel.
* Via e-mail:
* With the server you can bid your friends
* real mailboxes and virtual addresses.
* control over anti-spam protection.
* safe communications among them (as no traffic leaves your server).
* With the browser-based multilingual email client Roundcube they won't either need to install a client or use a service of questionable trust to check their email.
* Share files:
* Transfer large files via !BitTorrent distributed file sharing with Deluge, Transmission.
* Share content publicly or restricted to the users of listed allowed groups with Sharing
