    To bring up this issue again: With Keycloak there is now another app that realistically doesn't need to be seen by the everyday user - but they still need access to it if login e.g. to a reverse proxied app, etc. is done through it. So it would be beneficial to have the ability to hide apps either by group or at least "non admin users".

    Surprised to find this here! I've been developing apps for this since 2019. Yesterday, I finally made a Cloudron package for the Armadietto server https://github.com/rosano/armadietto-cloudron

    Besides having a dedicated extra service which reacts, I guess this can also be achieved via sieve filters. However to make this useful probably some better sieve script editor/UI is required. I think that part is still much lacking in any of the clients we have packaged so far and Thunderbird's sieve script support is even more ancient as far as I can tell.

    @BrutalBirdie I cant see that ANY German / and or European authority can justify to buy Microsoft products anymore. Microsoft has told authorities, ministries, etc. that their M365 instances are "sovereign" and that something like this CANNOT happen. And now it did. Since authorities are still bound by the "No Spy" Directive of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (https://vergabeblog.de/2016-05-17/der-no-spy-erlass-und-die-folgen-fuer-die-beschaffung-zum-vortrag-im-rahmen-des-1-vergabetags-2016-vom-28-april-2016/), Microsoft *should have a major problem. But since we're in crazy times, probably nothing will happen.

    @andreasb you can check the sizes of docker images here - https://hub.docker.com/u/cloudron . But looks like it lists only the compressed size. Size of docker images is not documented anywhere . The 6GB includes many layers and the layers are "shared" across apps (the way docker works). We also hvae images on quay - https://quay.io/organization/cloudron . But I think this requires login, despite images being public . These sizes differ from dockerhub [image: 1747727630514-d133353a-28be-41af-87eb-f9806443b9b9-image-resized.png] [image: 1747727643538-435fe29e-0a7f-4135-9c28-7e1481c34c6f-image-resized.png]

    Thanks for the tip! I really want to think of the idea of self hosting email but mitigate also downtimes and reputation/spam issues, this otherwise would cause me quite some anxiety and risk my reputation.

    I can't reliably answer your question, since I never used exchange and was never invited by people using exchange. Just not the people I hang with hehe. But I can give some thoughts and experiences of my own. In SOGo you can add multiple IMAP-Accounts but since you are speaking about aliases, adding them is not even necessary, since they are just aliases and get delivered into the same Inbox. So I am not 100 % sure if you are really talking about aliases and not secondary accounts used as aliases. To the topic of calendar invitations like Exchange. No idea how Exchange handles this, but even Thunderbird can create calendar events with participants and will send invites as mail. SOGo will do the same. Maybe you should just test it in SOGo and then circle back here to explain what is missing or needed for "the Exchange experience". There is also: rallly doodle poll alternative cal.com event-juggling scheduler for everyone. Focus on meeting, not making meetings *1 Easy!Appointments appointment scheduler *1 Note about cal.com, this is more for people booking a meeting with you based on your time available based on configured business hours, already blocked times by other events in your calendar and more. This can be abused to be something else tho I used to use cal.com with some friends because you can add multiple caldav calenders into 1 account for checking for conflicts when scheduling. Meaning we, 6 people, had our 6 private calendars setup in one account, so we could use cal.com to see exactly when each of us had time. Used this to schedule a DnD like event, but people got sloppy managing their own private calendar, so open slots were not always accurate. WELL I hope this helped somewhat and was not just some random rambling

    I thought I would ask my favorite AI tool a more practical question (assuming Team Cloudron wanted to move to Podman): "How can Cloudron migrate from a Docker architecture to a Podman architecture"? The answer (https://www.perplexity.ai/search/cloudron-is-based-on-a-docker-EEoZGv7DRaKfZhG21OrgsA) is ugly, and in short order... not going to make sense. Unless Docker became unsustainable from a licensing or cost perspective in the future, the costs and risk are huge and the benefits unclear. And a gradual migration does not seem technically possible/advisable either.

    @hakunamatata did you ever check out https://desec.io/ ? I know I also suggested Hetzner, but desec.io is a non-profit and directly supported by the EU. Also Cloudron supports it https://docs.cloudron.io/domains/#desec-dns

    Yeah, it’s mind-boggling that this is still a problem unsolved. MusicBrainz is ok for some music styles but seriously shite for e.g. electronic music between 1990-2000, in particular for whitelabel releases… I use MP3Tag with various scripts and pull from the sources mentioned above as well as Beatport and Traxsource…
