Is it possible to install taiga plugins?

[senthilkumaran]

Specifically, for the taiga app, I'd like to install this plugin
https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-contrib-slack

I tried to login to console and and install it myself, but they are set to READ-ONLY and I assumed that cloudron does not want me to mess with the installation.

How can I install the above plugin?

There is no mention of plugins in the docs:
https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/taiga/

But normally you have to use the Web Terminal for this sort of stuff on Cloudron:

@senthilkumaran We had tried this in the past but some of those plugins don't work. The plugins that work is actively merged into taiga main code itself. See https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/taiga-app/-/issues/15 . You can try asking the upstream project about the status at https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-contrib-slack/issues/75

One of our customers pointed out that there are some custom docker images that have plugins pre-built into them - https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-contrib-slack/issues/78 .

Maybe I can just pre-bake the slack plugin into the taiga app. Does anyone else require any other plugin?

@girish Slack integration is of the most interest, thank you

Good thing about Slack integration, is Discord also mirrors the same API.

You just add /slack to the end of any Discord webhook URL and Bingo!

We live in Discord!

@senthilkumaran @potemkin_ai I gave this a shot. Unfortunately, it does not work in Taiga 5.5. I have opened an issue upstream - https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-contrib-slack/issues/79 . The good news is that it seems to be some trivial fix but I don't know enough python or taiga to fix it. Hopefully, upstream will fix it quickly.

@senthilkumaran @potemkin_ai The upstream project has published a compatible plugin - https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-contrib-slack/issues/79#issuecomment-697182708 . I have pushed a new package with the plugin installed.

Please give it a try when possible. Please follow https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/taiga/#slack for enabling it. As always with plugins, only use it if you really need it since they break from time to time.
