This is fine for now, I meant, what about all the networking ideas/projects around FreedomBox: https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/ExampleProjects#Networking https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/MeshNetwork My real question is: does the DHCP-client fit into that model ? What if you have a very integrated FreedomBox where you only run 1 webserver and multiple application containers for different applications (maybe even static files mapped directly on the webserver to a directory from the webserver). In that case you want it to be some what static and not directly connected to the LAN or WAN. Not that this is a real problem for Program Space, it can handle that just fine. :-) I'm just wondering if people have a plan. > Happy new year everyone! > Rob. > http://freedomboxblog.nl > PS Seems the Docker folks are adding an in-container process too now: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/docker-dev/m-d3A7bxD70 _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
