ActivePieces - nocode alternative to Zapier, Make, n8n etc

[Dave Swift]

@marcusquinn hey I know that guy! Thanks for sharing.

@Dave-Swift Great work! Just spotted your Cloudron vid, will give that a watch, too...

[Dave Swift]

@marcusquinn I was just learning about Cloudron when I made this video, and really didn't highlight some of its best features.

I will revisit sometime in 2024 with a better video.

[marcusquinn]

@Dave-Swift Good stuff.

You can trust the auto-DNS stuff, it's been rock-solid for me.

Also, I recommend idrive.com for your offsite backups using the tarball option on the config.

[Dave Swift]

Thank you.

Yes, I'm using auto-dns now and it's great!

I'm using B2 for backups. I will look into idrive though.

Does anyone here have any links to a good comparison between Activepieces and n8n?
Or any insights from first-hand experience of both?

[Dave Swift]

@shrey fundamentally n8n is positioned as "Workflow automation for technical people" and Activepieces more like Zapier, although not as deep at this point.

Activepieces can get "technical". Just throw in a code piece, but overall it's not as daunting for average users.

n8n has been around longer and has more integrations (750+ vs ~150).

Cloudron support mentioned here (but not implemented at time of writing):

@canadaduane One can run it from Easypanel

[canadaduane]

We have an ActivePieces cloudron package working here:

github.com/canadaduane/activepieces-cloudron
https://github.com/halecraft/activepieces-cloudron

As far as I can tell, there is no OIDC setup for the community version of ActivePieces, so no direct integration possibility with Cloudron users.

@canadaduane Nice work! How does it compare to n8n?
