Let's publish some books!

@mario cool shame about this though:

Can I export Kindle, PDF, ePUB, or other formats from Writebook?

Not currently, no. Writebook purely publishes web-based books. We may add other export formats down the road.

@jdaviescoates open source code though, so maybe?

[jdaviescoates]

@mario it's not really open source as defined by https://opensource.org/osd - you aren't allowed to distribute modifications etc

[mario]

Fair. You could send the changes and hope the integrate them

Cloudron isn't hosting any apps to offer as SaaS, it's just scripts for self-hosting, so that feels to be within the license terms.

Great find!

From the installation notes, it seems like a free copy needs to be purchased in order to receive a shell command that will install docker and then pull the latest Writebook docker image and go through an installation process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not give this install command out to anyone, or share it on the public internet. It is personalized to you, and the license is tied back to you. Your personalized purchase token can be found in the email you received after you downloaded Writebook

The way Writebook is currently distributed, I don't think makes it possible to be packaged for Cloudron unfortunately.

Pressbooks might be a better option:
