Quick Start

  1. If you have not already done so, download and install a FreedomBox image by following the instructions on the Download page.

  2. Plug one end of your ethernet cord into your FreedomBox's ethernet port, and plug the other end into your router.

    • On the Dreamplug, the eth0 port (the one toward the middle of the box) should be connected to your router.
  3. If your device has a 2nd ethernet port, you can connect your computer to it directly, using an ethernet cable.
  4. Power on your your FreedomBox.

  5. On first boot, the FreedomBox will perform initial setup and then reboot. This may take several minutes.

  6. After the FreedomBox has rebooted, you can access its web interface (called Plinth) through your web browser.

    • If your computer is connected directly to the FreedomBox through a second (LAN) ethernet port, you can browse to: http://freedombox/ or http://10.42.0.1/.

    • If your computer supports mDNS (GNU/Linux, Mac OSX and Windows with mDNS software installed), you can browse to: http://freedombox.local/ (or http://the-hostname-you-entered-during-install.local/)

    • If neither of these methods are available, then you will need to figure out the IP address of your FreedomBox. You can use the "nmap" program to find its IP address:

           nmap -p 80 --open -sV 192.168.0.0/24

      Your FreedomBox will show up as an IP address with an open tcp port 80 using Apache httpd service on Debian, such as the example below which would make it accessible at http://192.168.0.165:

           Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.165
           Host is up (0.00088s latency).
           PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
           80/tcp open  http    Apache httpd 2.4.17 ((Debian))
  7. On accessing Plinth your browser will warn you that it communicates securely but that it regards the security certificate for doing so as invalid. This is a fact you need to accept because the certificate is auto generated on the box and therefore "self-signed" (the browser might also use words such as "untrusted", "not private", "privacy error" or "unknown issuer/authority"). Telling your browser that you are aware of this might involve pressing buttons such as "I understand the Risks", "proceed to ... (unsafe)" or "Add exception".
  8. On the intial access you will see a welcome page that asks you to provide some basic information for setting up your FreedomBox.

  9. After completing the form, you will be logged in to Plinth and able to access apps and configuration through the interface.
  10. If your computer is connected directly to the FreedomBox, your FreedomBox can act as a router, allowing you to access the Internet.

Now, you can try any of the Apps that are available on FreedomBox.
