HumHub - social network software

[scooke]

@lealda Really? Could you share some links please? I'm interested in how it looks, how it is presented, etc.

@doodlemania2 Would it be a lot of work to start from scratch?

I am trying to run it, but cron is failing and some other errors. I noticed that on docker they use 1.6.

@sam_uk well it could be - if you can share the instructions for how to install it on LAMP app, I might could back port that into a custom full blown app.

[Sam_uk]

@doodlemania2 I have no experience of running it I'm afraid.

The Lamp instructions are here: https://docs.humhub.org/docs/admin/server-setup/

@doodlemania2
It would be wonderful if you could.

I wonder if Gitcoin could be useful for app bounties?

I posted here: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4951/gitcoin-for-app-bounties

I couldn't commit to putting funds in from my organisation yet, but it's something I could explore if there was a transparent way of handling payments.

@jdaviescoates @doodlemania2 @kaxline Has anyone done any work on Humhub? I'm pretty keen and may be able to pay if I had an idea of how much work it would be.

[doodlemania2]

@sam_uk I'm going to try next week when things at work calm down a bit.

[Sam_uk]

@doodlemania2 Great stuff, thanks..

[doodlemania2]

All - I wanted to report back and not just be a flake - I've been saddled with a crazy go nuts project at work and won't be able to work on this for a while. I've really very sorry, I had gotten everything loaded and was about to start

I hope another app_dev person can pick this up!

[Sam_uk]

@doodlemania2 Ah no worries, thanks for letting us know.

I wonder if @ATRILAHIJI could take a look at it and estimate the work involved?

[Sam_uk]

@sam_uk Just to update @atrilahiji is going to take a look at this one over the next couple of weeks.

I have it "working" as in it deploys just fine, but it will need manual DB, SMTP, and LDAP config at the moment.

They seem to prefer to route everyone through web UI configuration instead of easy CLI config. Looks like I gotta find what DB entries the config makes and do it manually

[doodlemania2]

@atrilahiji Make sure to take advantage of the environment vars inside the container for all CR apps which provide you with full connection details of all associated resources from your manifest.

[A Former User]

@doodlemania2 Yeah for sure, I'm going to make use of those.

I got permission from @Sam_uk to make the repo public:
https://git.atrilahiji.dev/Alt-Ron/cloudron-humhub-app

Todo:

1. Properly address the update process
2. See if its possible to config LDAP and SMTP automatically (this is the part I am really struggling with right now.

Did you already have a look at https://github.com/humhub/docker/blob/master/docker-entrypoint.sh ?

[A Former User]

@fbartels Wowee nope. Good catch lol

EDIT: You know, I have no clue why it never occurred to me that I can look for a docker version of the app.

[A Former User]

I have finished getting things automated (sort of). The DB is set up on the first install, and the LDAP and SMTP configuration is set up after a re-start (and is updated after every restart).
