I didn't followed the FreedomBox project over the last year, but as far as I understand Plinth is now the configuration utility for the project. Regardless of that I suggest to look at SNMP for configuration.
SNMP is standardized, there is working software for it and as I recently found out, it can run over SSH as a subsystem, which seems like the biggest advantage to me. Instead of a HTML based user interface, you could provide a native user interface and instead of TLS it would run over SSH. SSH has the advantage that it doesn't require X.509 to secure the connection (theoretically you could use TLS with OpenPGP, but except for GnuTLS there is no library that supports it and probably there won't be any support for it in major web browsers in the near future) and requires mutual authentication. The user interface could be similar to Tryton in modularity and appearance.
