[Freedombox-discuss] Installing FreedomBox on a Digital Ocean VM (droplet)

[Adrian Gropper]

Duncan's suggestion was extremely helpful! Here's a log of what I did but

*why am I Forbidden from accessing plinth?*The setup log is at
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8909568/freedombox-setup.log.txt

NOTE: There's nothing private on this server. In case the issue is subtle
or someone wants to play with the Digital Ocean droplet, I've taken a
Snapshot and am happy to send the passwords to anyone that asks directly. I
will restore from my last snapshot and change the passwords when the
problem is resolved.

   Digital Ocean does not do debian unstable. Need to upgrade from 8.2 via
   https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
   -

      Digital Ocean MyAS <https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets/8982455>
      512 MB Memory / 20 GB Disk / NYC2 162.243.48.241 root password: <ask
      agropper at healthurl.com>
      -

      adduser fbx / Password: <ask agropper at healthurl.com>
      -

      ssh fbx at 162.243.48.241 works but won’t sudo
      -

      Do:
      https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/18063/debian-8-1-0-jessie-sudo-fix-not-installed-by-default
      -

      ssh fbx at 162.243.48.241 works
      -

   Changing to Debian unstable to prepare for FreedomBox
   -

      via Duncan: You can upgrade using instructions from
      https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
      -

      in /etc/apt/ sudo nano sources.list and replace all jessie with
      testing
      -

      run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ; accept issue N default and
      config Keep default
      -

      Reboot then check with cat /etc/debian_version - reports stretch/sid
      -

      Make a Digital Ocean Snapshot
      -

         sudo shutdown now
         -

         Use the DO Control Panel to create a Snapshot
         -

   Install FreedomBox per https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian
   -

      sudo apt-get update
      -

      sudo apt-get install freedombox-setup accept default to ask on restart
      -

      sudo /usr/lib/freedombox/setup | tee freedombox-setup.log
      -

      Needed to delete the public key in /Users/adrian/.ssh/known_hosts
      -

      ssh as fbx - reboot


   - http://162.243.48.241 redirects to http://162.243.48.241/plinth but
   reports Forbidden - stuck!
      -

      Make another Digital Ocean Snapshot

Thank you!!!

Adrian
