@stantropics This is awesome, thank you so much! We will add this to our TODO list of apps to get published.

Is that a list we can see?

Perhaps tag this WIP?

Thanks!

The package is updated to 0.14.1:

I finally solved the sendmail problem. After reporting it upstream I figured a fix with the developer. It is fixed in the latest master. For this reason, the package is setting up vikunja using the master tag - I can change this once the fix is part of the next release.

Many thanks for your efforts!! I want to step away from Todoist and Vikunja was very nice from the start. Making it available through Cloudron is a big improvement for my users and myself.

I had a quick look at this. It's in active development, so I think it's best to wait for 1.0 before people start relying on it. Is anyone here involved in the Vikunja community or in touch with the author to know when this will happen?

I went ahead and asked them here - https://community.vikunja.io/t/1-0-release-timeline/110

Hey there, creator of Vikunja here.

It's really awesome to see people using Vikunja

I'm not very familiar with cloudron so this is probably a noob question, but is there a special reason you're creating seperate docker images instead of using the official ones? This feels a bit like doubled effort.

Maybe we could even officially support cloudron with releases automatically published through our ci.

Also, please don't hesitate to ping me if you have any questions about Vikunja, either here or in Vikunja's Forum or through other ways.

Welcome, great to have you here

I've not used it yet, but I really like the look of it - looks like you've created a really great app, so I'd really love to be able to install it on my Cloudron server!

I'm just a user, not a developer, of Cloudron, but I think it's because th Cloudron docker images have extra special added features which make all the apps integrate with the rest of the Cloudron platform (i.e. the built in email server, the LDAP server which powers single sign-on, the back-up systems etc etc).

The actual developers @girish & @nebulon will no doubt be able to explain more and better, but I think that's the gist of it

Thanks for dropping by And also answering the question on your forum about the roadmap.

It's a good question. The main issue is most upstream images are not "standardized" . For example, logging (where are log files stored), tooling (does it have basic tools like say ping/vim etc installed in the docker image for debugging), read-only runtime (for immutable infrastructure and consistent backups), non-root user (for security), provisioning (like databases, caches, file system use) etc. When we bring all these concepts together, we can have a system where we easily push out rolling updates for apps. And if an update fails it can be immediately rolled back. There is a overview of all the best practices here - https://docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/guide/ . Admittedly, we stole many idea from 12factor apps - https://12factor.net/ with a good dose of practicality.

@stantropics
Thank you for creating an image for Vikunja. I just wanted to test your image by hitting the cloudron install button on the repo page but this does not work as expected. Do you have any hints for me why this doesn't work?

[girish]

@ctrl We haven't published the app yet (not even as an unstable app). You have to build it yourself to try it at the moment. Instructions here - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3102/building-custom-packages

@girish
I see, thank you. I might give it a shot over the weekend!

EDIT:
I just built and installed it on our box which was pretty much straigt forward. IMHO the project has a lot of potential and is a strong contender and possibly a great alternative to Zenkit in the future. I put Vikunja on my watchlist and will revisit it in a couple of months!

[stantropics]

@ctrl Thanks for letting us know. I am also using vikunja for month now and really like it. Of course, there are still a few bugs, but the project is pretty nice.

[daniel.goletz]

Something new here? This apps looks fantastic.

[stantropics]

A bit late, but the package is updated to 0.16.0.

@staff it'd be great to get this in the app store

[lucidfox]

I've got Vikunja installed as a custom app (would love to see it published to the Cloudron app store as well).

One of the highlighted features is the ability to import from Todoist, but there's no way to do this through the interface. I asked in the Vikunja matrix chatroom, and someone suggested all the details on how to achieve this would be in the config.yml file. I've looked at this file in my install, but can't see any such section or info. Has anyone figured out how to migrate from Todoist?

[girish]

@stantropics I see that you packaged this a while ago. Do you vikunja actively ? Happy to get it published if it's useful in it's current state. I ask because I haven't used the app much, so want to make sure it's reasonably 'stable' given that there is no 1.0 release for it.
