# Variants

Freedombone may be installed either in its entirety or as different variants with a more specialised purpose. So for example if you just want to run a blog but don't care about any other services then you can do that. The following variants are available:

Mailbox An email server with GPG encryption | Cloud Sync and share files. Never lose important files again
Social Social networking with Hubzilla and GNU Social | Media Runs media services such as DLNA to play music or videos on your devices
Writer Host your blog and wiki | Chat Encrypted IRC, XMPP, Tox and VoIP services for one-to-one and many-to-many chat
Developer Github-like system to host your software projects | Mesh A wireless mesh network which is like the internet, but not the internet

Non-mesh installs also come with an RSS reader which provides strong reading privacy on desktop and mobile via the use of a Tor onion service.
