-# Summary
-# =======
-#
-# This script is intended to be run on the target device, which
-# is typically a Beaglebone Black.
-#
-# To be able to run this script you need to get to a condition
-# where you have Debian Jessie installed, with at least one
-# unprivileged user account and at least one subdomain created on
-# https://freedns.afraid.org/. If you're not installing on a
-# Beaglebone Black then set the variable INSTALLING_ON_BBB to "no"
-#
-# Note on dynamic dns
-# ===================
-#
-# I'm not particularly trying to promote freedns.afraid.org
-# as a service, it just happens to be a dynamic DNS system which
-# provides free (as in beer) accounts, and I'm trying to make the
-# process of setting up a working server as trivial as possible.
-# Other dynamic DNS systems are available, and if you're using
-# something different then comment out the section within
-# argument_checks and the call to dynamic_dns_freedns.
-#
-# Prerequisites
-# =============
-#
-# You will need to initially prepare a microSD card with a Debian
-# image on it. This can be done using the initial_setup.sh script.
-#
-# If you are not using a Beaglebone Black then just prepare the
-# target system with a fresh installation of Debian Jessie.
-#
-# Configuration file
-# ==================
-# If you don't want to edit this script directly then you can
-# create a configuration file called freedombone.cfg, which should
-# be in the same directory as install-freedombone.sh.
-# Within the configuration file you can specify the main settings
-# such as:
-#
-# INSTALLING_ON_BBB=yes
-# SSH_PORT=2222
-# MICROBLOG_DOMAIN_NAME=mydomain
-# MICROBLOG_FREEDNS_SUBDOMAIN_CODE=[code]
-# ...
-#
-# Note that there are no spaces around the equals.
