Agree - I'd like this!

The CiviCRM community is currently working towards improving it's standing as a cloud-native citizen.

@mikeymjco
A CiviCRM.org account is required to comment, do PRs, etc right but anyone can see it.

Is anyone using civicrm in wordpress on cloudron successfully?

These issues have been reported to me.

first thing we spotted, which wasn't an issue initially - so I'm guessing it got messed up after an update a couple of months ago, is that the personalised links that we can send out via email weren't working, so when members were hitting the renewal form it wasn't recognising who they were. This was bad.

then later yesterday I realised that payments weren't getting completed, which is very bad. So, two urgent issues to resolve.

Looks interesting.

CiviCRM is very good.

This runs as a WordPress plugin. I've run it with no major issues on Cloudron-installed WP before. If anyone wants to give it a spin and file any particular bug reports noticed, then that's an option, but is likely best positioned to be taken care of after other WordPress package changes that are in process right now

I recommend the Drupal version.

Supposedly there's a CMS-independent version coming someday, but I have no idea when/if to expect that. That would likely be the best variant for Cloudron, if it ever comes to pass.

There is a standalone CiviCRM now, under active development:

Happy New Year to all Cloudron community members

The Standalone version of CiviCRM is now available.

It will be finalized with CiviCRM version 6, announced for March 5.

https://civicrm.org/blog/josh/announcing-civicrm-6

If, like me, you don't want to take advantage of the CMS (Drupal, Wordpress, Backdrop or Joomla) features with CiviCRM, then the Standalone version is welcome and facilitates maintenance.

it would be nice to package it

[girish]

That's great news. I think it would make sense to package the standalone app for Cloudron when it's available.

[jeau]

thanks @girish,

This repo contains resources to run CiviCRM on Docker.

I think it is available, no?

What is CiviCRM Standalone?

Standalone is a release of CiviCRM that runs independent of any CMS. No Drupal, no Wordpress, no Backdrop, no Joomla. Pure CiviCRM, if you will. If you don’t need functionality from the CMS side, then Standalone gives you all the features of CiviCRM in a simpler and faster package.
And now it’s finished?

Well… no. But nor is CiviCRM generally. Anyone who’s worked with complex software like CiviCRM will know, it’s never finished...

You can get a standalone version 5.80.1 from here -> https://civicrm.org/download
Installation in a Cloudron LAMP app, works without problems.

So everything looks like a valid release candidate. But taken from here https://civicrm.org/blog/josh/announcing-civicrm-6, the next major release is planned for
05 march 2025.

Should we take the time to install CiviCRM standalone in a Cloudron LAMP app and help the community debug - and launch with a Cloudron app after version 6 is released?

[girish]

That will be great, if someone who has used CiviCRM in the past can install it in LAMP and report back!

[jeau]

I've been using CiviCRM for several years with Wordpress. I've installed the standalone version on a LAMP application, it works fine but I haven't taken the time to test it thoroughly.

[scooke]

I tried. Failed. There is some mix up that I can't unravel between the installation directory and final URL. I tried installing with the pertinent items in /app/data/public, using crm.example.com, and even though the install said it worked, I couldn't login because it was looking for crm.example.com/civicrm. So I emptied the db and started again, this time using /app/data/public/civicrm, but that time it seemed to want to just use crm.example.com; a partial admin login appeared if I used crm.example.com/civicrm, but after pressing Enter the page wouldn't load and a message about some problem popped up. Bizarre. I really don't feel like trying again. All permissions were fine. I've already uninstalled the LAMP app. Oh well.
