Suggestion 4 : put Dynamic DNS app in on the Setup page rather than
apps. Grouping under Domain name what is related to it.

Making a FreedomBox public domain can be a lot of pain for people
discovering network technics. At first to figure out what has to be
done, then to do it. Here are some suggestions as a feedback.
Philippe "phylophyl"
Suggestion 1: a few extra text for the manual or to display when
setting up a freedombox domain name.
Suggestion 2: an app or option to configure automatically the router
(static internal ip, ports) ? Make GnuDIP registration directly from
FreedomBox ?
Suggestion 3: focus also on router devices images and apps to avoid
painfull steps ?
SOME EXTRA TEXTS (first draft)
/plinth/sys/config/
Add text after Domain Name field ?
"Before entering a domain name, verify if your ISP provides a static
or a dynamic internal adress for your router. Enter directly a
standard domain name or your IP public address if it is static. In
case of dynamic DNS, ask your ISP to provide a static public IP.
Another solution is the DIY way: configure your router, create a
static domain name at a dynamic DNS provider and activate FreedomBox
Dynamic DNS application. Feel free to use #freedombox IRC cana and
the mailing listl for 24/24 help. If you are not familiar with
internet network, please browse and read about domain names, local
area networks, Domain Name System (DNS) and dynamic DNS."
/plinth/apps/dynamicdns/
add an extra section called "How To" after About/SetUp/Status ?
How to configure your router in case of dynamic DNS :
01 - Find out the mac address and current local IP of your device
running FreedomBox.
02 - Open your router admistration web interface.
03 - Set Up an exception for your device as a static local IP.
04 - Create a port forwarding for 80 (http server) and 443 (https
secure server) ports to your FreedomBox IP (made static).
04 - Leave the router interface, your public IP should now provide a
direct access to your FreedomBox (use http://myip.datasystems24.de to
find out your public IP).
How to create a DNS name with GnuDIP
01 - Access to GnuIP login page (answer Yes to all pop ups)
02 - Click on "Self Register"
03 - Fill the registration form (Username and domain will form the
public IP address [username.domain])
04 - Take note of the username/hostname and password that will be
used on the FreedomBox app.
05 - Save and return to the GnuDIP login page to verify your
username, domain and password (enter the datas, click login).
06 - Login output should display your new domain name along with your
current public IP address (this is a unique address provided by your
router for all your local devices).
07 - Leave the GnuDIP interface and open the Dynamic DNS Client app
page in your FreedomBox.
08 - Click on "Set Up" in the top menu.
09 - Activate Dynamic DNS
10 - Choose GnuDIP service.
11 - Add server address (gnudip.datasystems24.net)
13 - Add your fresh domain name (username.domain, ie
[username].freedombox.rocks)
14 - Add your fresh username (the one used in your new IP address)
and password
15 - Add your GnuDIP password
16 - Fill the option with http://myip.datasystems24.de (try this url
in your browser, you will figure out immediatly)
