Using It

@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ Nightly Internet Email Sync (Not Easy!)
The Lokole software can be configured to access the Internet via USB modem, SIM card, or Ethernet, by setting the environment variable ``OPWEN_SIM_TYPE`` in configuration file `/home/lokole/state/webapp_secrets.sh <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/lokole/templates/webapp_secrets.sh.j2>`_. By default, this installation of Lokole is set to local-only (offline) mode, in which users can only send emails to other users on the same Internet-in-a-Box, and cannot send emails over the Internet. This has been done by setting ``OPWEN_SIM_TYPE`` to ``LocalOnly``.
If configured to work with a USB modem or other form of Internet connection, Lokole will sync with the cloud server (operated by `Ascoderu <https://ascoderu.ca/>`_) on a nightly basis to deliver and receive emails globally. *However, arranging this is extremely complicated.* You would need a compatible form of connection and an Internet expert familiar with modem protocols, MX records, etc. Ask that person to read the `Lokole software README <https://github.com/ascoderu/opwen-webapp/blob/master/README.rst>`_ in its entirety, to help you understand whether this is realistic for your organization.

Lokole and Internet-in-a-Box would welcome a business plan (whether volunteer-based, grant-based or for-profit) from someone willing to operationalize this — making it relatively hassle-free for schools, clinics, libraries and orphanages around the world — that generally do not have access to technical experts. Please `contact us <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/IIAB/FAQ#What_are_the_best_places_for_community_support.3F>`_ if you have the capacity to help make such a social enterprise happen.
