Introduction

This article will look at the configuration system available for various FSDG compliant distributions.

Configuration

Configuration system Distribution Works Skills Features
Debian installer preseed PureOS
Trisquel 10
FAI PureOS
Trisquel 10 Yes[1]
Freedombox PureOS Interfaces:
  • Web: Very easy to use
  • No command line interface: users are expected to use the web interface to configure the services otherwise there is a risk of breaking the system.

Installation:

  • Trisquel doesn't have freedombox images
  • The installation requires to type 2 commands.
  • Some features (like snapshots) also require specific options during the installation (like to use a btrfs filesystem)
  • Can deploy many services (wikis, etc)
  • Can configure network services? (DHCP, WiFi, etc?)
Trisquel 10 Yes[2]
Guix configuration language Guix Yes[3] Require to know lisp
  • Can configure the whole system
Holo Parabola Yes[4]
UCI LibreCMC[3] Yes Relatively easy to use:
  • It has 3 interfacesthat work well together:
    • Web
    • Command line
    • Configuration files
  • Require to have some networking notions (what is an IP address, a firewall, etc)
  • Can configure network services (dhcp, WiFi access point, etc)
  1. ↑ It's used by the FSF so it works
  2. ↑ Tested with the Debian instructions on Trisquel 10.
  3. ↑ 3.03.1 It's the distribution native configuration interface so it works.
  4. ↑ It was added by the distribution so it works.
