loomio - helps groups make better decisions together

[Sam_uk]

@bubonicfred @girish any progress on Loomio? Just trialling it in our organisation and inclusion would make the case for Cloudron stronger for us.

I've yet another org interested in this.

Friends made a startup in this decision management field called KIE Labs - https://www.kielabs.com

@jdaviescoates @girish
Just bumping this again,
possibly willing to help test

[ianhyzy]

do we do bounties on apps? I'd put one on this

[Sam_uk]

@ianhyzy you could reach out to @atridad he did a great job of packaging Humhub for me.

I'm assuming/ hoping the plan is to get Humhub into the Cloudron App Store too, right?

I can take a look at making sure the packaging code is up to date, but it's very much working on a test instance still. Only issue was @girish building / testing - happy to work on that part of it if needed...I could make it a straight-through Dockerfile rather than BuildKit dependent - though it'll take a fairly long time to build that way, maybe that's just what we need to do?

[girish]

@jimcavoli ah nice, if you can update the base image to 3.0.0, then I can take a look into publishing it. In fact, I am not sure why I didn't look into this further. Would be great to make it a straight through Dockerfile as that's how all the other packages are.

[jimcavoli]

@girish On it; hopefully will have that today

[jimcavoli]

@girish Opened it up and got to updating - was reminded that the issue was the inbound email side of things, not the Dockerfile on this one...it's the OpenSlides packaging stalled on the multistage builds (which needs some more revision and I'll update soon). In any case, I've updated it to use cloudron/base:3.0.0 and Loomio at 2.8.3 (latest) locally and on my test box. The outstanding issue with inbound mail remains, plus a new, if minor, issue with Redis AUTH for the channel server - any chance we'll see Redis updated to 6.x soon?

I can work on alternatives to make the channel server Redis connection happy, but I still need help on the inbound email side of things. Sending seems fine, but replies (the inbound-to-app side) bounce immediately. I've pushed the changes for the newer versions to https://git.cloudron.io/jimcavoli/loomio-app and included the caveat(s) about the broken components in the commit message for now.

[girish]

@jimcavoli thanks! We can follow up on the recvmail issue in the other thread. As for redis, is the issue that it cannot work with redis 5 at all? There is a flag in redis addon to disable auth entirely, would that help?

[girish]

here - https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#redis . The noPassword flag in manifest.

[jimcavoli]

@girish Yeah, I tried setting that, but the issue is that one part of the app is sending the two-argument version every time, which 5 and lower just don't know how to handle

[girish]

@jimcavoli I see. What's interesting is that https://help.loomio.org/en/dev_manual/setup_dev_environment/ just suggests installing redis via apt but redis 6 is not yet in ubuntu (only via a ppa). Another idea is to maybe use the previous release of loomio and then we can move it once we have redis 6 available. Is that an option?

[jimcavoli]

@girish yeah, I don't see why not. It works in an older version. I may be able to pin back the specific dependency as well (it's the node dependency from https://github.com/loomio/loomio_channel_server that seems to be doing it). I'll play around with it a bit while we work on the recvmail thing in the mean time.

[girish]

@jimcavoli I have opened https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/issues/804 to track for next release

[jimcavoli]

Got 7.0.1 loaded up on my testbed machine...going to re-update the packaging as needed and ensure recvmail is integrated properly, then we should be good to go here. Hoping for O(days) on that, may be O(weeks) given schedules the next few weeks.

[girish]

@jimcavoli awesome, let me know if recvmail works or not

Same goes for Loomio actually
