add structure (group and sort) to items on System (->Configuration) page
(Note: After the UI overhaul, the old discussion has become obsolete. The original issue was split up into different issues. This issue is now only summarize a helpfully structured "system config" presentation.)
The items in the system configuration menu/page are missing structure and it would be good if the order could closer follow (and thus visualize) their dependencies, and thus provide some guidance to the user about what to do first:
Example structure and sorting (taken from the discussion below and edited) for the Configuration page that is currently named “System”:
Ideally, also find a way to include some valuable short hints:
System
- Base Configuration (former "Configuration")
- Date & Time
- Disks
- Users and Groups
- Power
Network
- Connections
- Dynamic DNS (update) Client
Hint: Only needed if your IP address changes dynamically and DynDNS can't be managed by your router.
- Name Services
Hint: A registered domain name can simplify accessing the FBX from the internet.
- Service Discovery
- Firewall
Online Services
Hint: A DMZ or port-forwarding must be setup on NAT routers to forward incoming traffic to your FreedomBox.
- Let's Encrypt Certificates (for HTTPS/SSL)
- Monkeysphere
- Public Relay Service (PageKite)
Hint: Can allow reaching your FBX from the internet even without a publicly reachable IP or configurable router.
