FreedomBox

FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance that hosts applications such as a blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router so that your data stays with you.

The website describes it as a private server for non-experts: server applications are installed and configured with a few clicks, on inexpensive hardware of your choice. FreedomBox is free and open source software and an official part of Debian, and the non-profit FreedomBox Foundation supports the project. The code is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or later.

The core module, FreedomBox Service, also known as Plinth, provides the web interface. It is extensible and exposes each application as a module with a simplified user interface. Because FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, networking can be configured, along with basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.

To run it, install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine and run sudo apt install freedombox. Listed features include file sharing, group chat and calls, a VPN server, a privacy-enhancing proxy, blog and wiki hosting, calendar and contact sync, and network attached storage.
