Hi folks, just wanted to let you know that I've finished the plug-server
self-configuration script tonight and have published it [0].  I met my
goal and have published the self-configuration within two months of
beginning the server-configuration project.  A couple points about it:

Why do this?

  To make basic server configuration easier for FreedomBox / plug-server
  early adopters.  I'm trying to both inspire folks to build on this
  work and give people a useful and easy to use product.

Why is it the way it is?

  It's a bunch of server scripts.  It's not using any of the more
  sustainable or maintainable methods that have been suggested on this
  mailing list, like debconf-preseeding or a custom meta-package with
  post-install script.  I wasn't able to get preseeding working
  correctly (none of the packages I needed seemed to support preseeding
  options) and didn't have time to figure out the black art of packaging
  within my two month timeline.

What should I be aware of?

  The goal is to set up the server as automatically as possible.  You
  shouldn't need to read the entire accompanying guide to figure out how
  to set up your system, but it'll help you understand what's going on.

  There might be a few bugs in there, I've noted what I've found.

What next?

  Please try it out!  Please let me know how useful you find it, any
  bugs you find in it, and what you'd like to see come next.

  I'd love to turn this into a standard package, but that'll take some
  time that I don't have right now.

Nick
