Main drawback from me was the lack of an Android/iOS/PWA app.
Users now expects to have those for social networks.
Good point, but which alternatives have apps?

I think HumHub supports LDAP out of the box so it should be easy (!) to port to Cloudron.

@nebulon this looks like a good choice, did anyone look into it?
We've been using it in production since a couple of years now. Currently our instance runs on a shared webspace at Uberspace7.
Originally our main goal was to create some kind of a basecamp or starting point for all of our concerns. As an example we created a space (topic) for each of our projects. Everything related to a project is linked and lives there and serves as a project hub. Very much everything like repos, wikis, external resources, briefings, documents, discussions can be found in such a space. It used to work very sufficient for our needs.
Basically and to some extent we used to use it in a similar manner like one would use Atlassian Confluence. But I'd say that is just one use case. It's a little jack of all trades in its own field but not a specialized application that does one thing very well - IMHO of course.

Anyway, visually it hearkens back to groupware from ages ago, but it looks pretty handy. And not to slow either.
Yes.

Only HumHub Professional Edition supports LDAP, so alas no.

@yusf
The professional edition supports extended LDAP (Mapping), but basic LDAP authentication seems to be available in the community edition, too.I attached a recent screenshot from the backend of our instance.
Would it be possible to test authentication over LDAP by using the LDAP backend provided by Cloudron?

No, not really as the ldap is only available internally to apps that have it enabled.
The lamp app however seems to have ldap enabled by default so one could do a manual installation if Humhub into it.

I think this is probably the best current open source self-hosted alternative to Facebook Groups, would be great to have it on Cloudron!

I recently talked to the CEO of Humhub and also made him aware of Cloudron and this topic. He said that they are currently busy with investigating ways to automate deployments in container scenarios and once that is solved they would be open to collaborate on an app for Cloudron.

@jdaviescoates @fbartels Yes I'm interested in this too.
-
@doodlemania2 Ah OK, cool! I'll see if I can write down my process.

Did you manage to do that? I'd love to be able to use HumHub on Cloudon
Thanks!

@jdaviescoates Does it not install easily in the LAMP app?
