Move or Remove FreedomBox

I think FreedomBox needs to be moved off of https://www.privacyguides.org/file-sharing/ and either put on a new “Server OS” category or removed entirely. It just doesn’t make sense where it is as-is.

I think recommending server operating systems has been suggested before but I can’t find the discussion, but it might make sense given the number of things we recommend self-hosting.

Yes it was never really supposed to be there, the plan was to move it to the Hardware page.

Its a nice idea for people wanting to dip their feet in self hosting internally on their LAN inexpensively.

I just came across it while creating criteria for that page, the hardware page is fine. I would say it still might be worth considering a server OS page instead if there are other easy-to-use systems like it though. Yunohost for example could be worth consideration? Sandstorm?

Yeah possibly, could mention that there.

Any updates?

I see @jonah wanted to add Yunhost. What about Start9?

Edit: just saw the reply Solution by dngray.

In the pull request linked below, I moved FreedomBox as a server OS to a new File Management page in the Self-Hosting section of the website.
