You never build alone

Free software, community and Raspberry Pi

Community

Many Phoniebox enthusiasts are helpful and online, as in this German forum forum-raspberrypi.de or in English at the feature and bug reporting.

Raspberry Pi

The small and affordable Raspberry Pi is at the heart of the Phoniebox. Any Pi will do, so you can save money and the planet by getting a used one.

Freie Software

The software of the Phoneibox is open source and freely available on the web. The same page also features a detailed installation guide.
