- User request: simple graphical interface (Danny)
- on university networks, it is hard to find the IP address on a machine once you plug it in. One suggestion: if you had to, plug freedombox into a monitor, you get simple screen using GNU Dialogue that says the IP address and give you the internal domain
- Could display IP address and even a QR code
This has come up a few times in the past, but right now the mobile applications is a better solution. It can auto-discover freedomboxes on a network and their IP addresses.Both FreedomBox and the mobile applicaiton should be connected to the same network before the Freedombox has been set up.
Suggestion for classroom use case: MediaWiki
