<div id="outline-container-unnumbered-1" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="unnumbered-1">Preparation for the Beaglebone Black</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-unnumbered-1">
<p>
This section is specific to the Beaglebone Black hardware. If you're not using that hardware then just skip to the next section.
</p>

<p>
To get started you will need:
</p>

<ul class="org-ul">
<li>A Beaglebone Black
</li>
<li>A MicroSD card
</li>
<li>Ethernet cable
</li>
<li>Optionally a 5V 2A power supply for the Beaglebone Black
</li>
<li>Access to the internet via a router with ethernet sockets
</li>
<li>USB thumb drive (for backups or storing media)
</li>
<li>One or more domains available via a dynamic DNS provider, such as <a href="https://freedns.afraid.org/">https://freedns.afraid.org/</a>
</li>
<li>A purchased domain name and SSL certificate (only needed for Red Matrix)
</li>
<li>A laptop or desktop machine with the ability to write to a microSD card (might need an adaptor)
</li>
</ul>

<p>
You will also need to know, or find out, the IP address of your internet router and have a suitable static IP address for the Beaglebone on your local network. The router should allow you to forward ports to the Beaglebone (often this is under firewall or "advanced" settings).
</p>

<p>
You can either install from a debian package or manually as follows:
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash">sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git dialog build-essential
git clone https://github.com/bashrc/freedombone
<span class="org-builtin">cd</span> freedombone
sudo make install
</pre>
</div>

<p>
Plug the microSD card into your laptop/desktop and then run the <b>freedombone-prep</b> command. For example:
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash">freedombone-prep -d /dev/sdX --ip freedombone_IP_address --iprouter router_IP_address
</pre>
</div>

<p>
where /dev/sdX is the device name for the microSD card. Often it's /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc, depending upon how many drives there are on your system. The script will download the Debian installer and update the microSD card. It can take a while, so be patient.
</p>

<p>
When the initial setup is done follow the instructions on screen to run the main freedombone command.
</p>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-unnumbered-2" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="unnumbered-2">Checklist</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-unnumbered-2">
<p>
Before running the freedombone command you will need a few things.
</p>

<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Have some domains, or subdomains, registered with a dynamic DNS service
</li>
<li>System with a new installation of Debian Jessie
</li>
<li>Ethernet connection to an internet router
</li>
<li>It is possible to forward ports from the internet router to the system
</li>
<li>If you want to set up a social network or microblog then you will need SSL certificates corresponding to those domains
</li>
<li>Have ssh access to the system
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-unnumbered-3" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="unnumbered-3">GPG Keys</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-unnumbered-3">
<p>
If you have existing GPG keys then copy the .gnupg directory onto the system.
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash">scp -r ~/.gnupg username@freedombone_IP_address:/home/username
</pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-unnumbered-4" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="unnumbered-4">Interactive Setup</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-unnumbered-4">
<p>
The interactive server configuration setup is recommended for most users. On the system where freedombone is to be installed create a configuration file.
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash">ssh myusername@freedombone_IP_address
su
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install git dialog build-essential
git clone https://github.com/bashrc/freedombone
<span class="org-builtin">cd</span> freedombone
make install
</pre>
</div>

<p>
Now the easiest way to install the system is via the interactive setup.
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash">freedombone menuconfig
</pre>
</div>

<p>
You can select which variant you wish to install and then enter the details as requested. A video of the install sequence can be <a href="./installer.ogv">seen here</a>.
</p>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-unnumbered-5" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="unnumbered-5">Non-Interactive Setup</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-unnumbered-5">
<p>
If you don't want to install interactively then it's possible to manually create a configuration file as follows:
</p>

<p>
On the system where freedombone is to be installed create a configuration file.
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash">ssh myusername@freedombone_IP_address
su
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install git build-essential
git clone https://github.com/bashrc/freedombone
<span class="org-builtin">cd</span> freedombone
make install
nano /home/myusername/freedombone/freedombone.cfg
</pre>
</div>

<p>
Add the following, and set the values as needed. DEFAULT_DOMAIN_NAME is where your email/xmpp/irc/voip will be accessed from. It could be the same as one of your other domains, or separate.
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash"><span class="org-variable-name">MY_USERNAME</span>=myusername
<span class="org-variable-name">DEFAULT_DOMAIN_NAME</span>=mywikidomain
<span class="org-variable-name">SYSTEM_TYPE</span>=full
<span class="org-variable-name">INSTALLING_ON_BBB</span>=no
<span class="org-variable-name">DDNS_PROVIDER</span>=default@freedns.afraid.org

<span class="org-variable-name">MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS</span>=myusername@mywikidomain
<span class="org-variable-name">LOCAL_NETWORK_STATIC_IP_ADDRESS</span>=192.168.1.60
<span class="org-variable-name">ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS</span>=192.168.1.254
<span class="org-variable-name">ENABLE_CJDNS</span>=no
<span class="org-variable-name">DEBIAN_REPO</span>=ftp.us.debian.org
<span class="org-variable-name">NAMESERVER1</span>=85.214.73.63
<span class="org-variable-name">NAMESERVER2</span>=213.73.91.35
<span class="org-variable-name">WIKI_TITLE</span>=my wiki title
<span class="org-variable-name">WIKI_DOMAIN_NAME</span>=mywikidomain
<span class="org-variable-name">MY_BLOG_TITLE</span>=my blog
<span class="org-variable-name">FULLBLOG_DOMAIN_NAME</span>=myblogdomain
<span class="org-variable-name">MICROBLOG_DOMAIN_NAME</span>=mymicroblogdomain
<span class="org-variable-name">REDMATRIX_DOMAIN_NAME</span>=myredmatrixdomain
<span class="org-variable-name">OWNCLOUD_DOMAIN_NAME</span>=myownclouddomain
</pre>
</div>

<p>
Both of the IP addresses are local IP addresses, typically of the form 192.168.x.x, with one being for the system and the other being for the internet router.
</p>

<p>
Save the configuration file and exit from your editor.
</p>

<p>
Now you can begin the installation. If you are doing this on a Beaglebone Black:
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash">freedombone -c freedombone.cfg
</pre>
</div>

<p>
The above command should be run in the same directory in which your configuration file exists.
</p>

<p>
Also see the manpage for additional options which can be used instead of a configuration file.
</p>
</div>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-unnumbered-6" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="unnumbered-6">Post-Setup</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-unnumbered-6">
<p>
Setup of the server and installation of all the relevant packages is not quick, and depends upon which variant you choose and your internet bandwidth. Allow about three hours for a full installation on the Beaglebone Black. On the Beaglebone installation is in two parts, since a reboot is needed to enable the hardware random number generator and zram.
</p>

<p>
When done you can ssh into the Freedombone with:
</p>

<div class="org-src-container">

<pre class="src src-bash">ssh myusername@domain -p 2222
</pre>
</div>

<p>
Any manual post-installation setup instructions or passwords can be found in /home/username/README. You should remove any passwords from that file and store them within a password manager such as KeepassX.
</p>

<p>
On your internet router, typically under firewall settings, open the following ports and forward them to your server.
