FreedomBox

My personal notes about using FreedomBox and self-hosting applications

Tips and Tricks

Backup TT-RSS RSS feeds list (the opml file) to a Syncthing folder.
Matrix Synapse works for voice and video calls over LAN. It seems to be P2P.
Use Syncthing with Orgzly/Emacs for writing lists.
Use Mediawiki for taking notes as I'm doing right now and as a personal knowledge base.
Tiny Tiny RSS web UI is unpalatable for people used to things like Medium, but the Android app is really good.
Follow medium blogs using Tiny Tiny RSS without having to create an account.
Use Privoxy for ad-blocking on all the Android devices on the Wi-Fi by setting it as a proxy.

Make sure the device is getting adequate power supply (e.g. 2 Amp for a Raspberry Pi) or the performance will suffer.
