renky Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 The freedombox.org is libre software. The software provides a server solution having a list of preinstalled programs. This post is about if the orange pi one can get a libre software version of the freedombox installed on it. The orangepi one is interesting because of its price and performance. What determines if you can install a libre software image on an arm computer? Is it uboot support? Can you install a libre software version of the freedombox on an orange pi one? The freedombox people say, if you can install pure debian on an arm computer, you can install the freedombox too. Can I ask people on this forum about instructions? You may say, why do you not ask on freedombox's email list? Because I think the freedombox people already have a lot to do. About power suppliers, I have seen 2a and 3a mentioned. Can you use a 2a power supply? Thank you.

I am not familiar with freedombox but if they say so it must work. Armbian is pure Debian. You need any Debian based image for any of supported boards (perhaps it works on Ubuntu as well) and this: https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/freedombox-setup
renky Posted March 19, 2018 Author Posted March 19, 2018 The armbian orange pi one image is the best image for the computer? There is no better system for the computer? https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/freedombox-setup You say, you can install armbian on the orange pi one and then freedombox on top of armbian? Or what does the readme tell?
Gravelrash Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Freedombox can and does work well on armbian. I have succeffuly installed it using the following https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian
