Chatwoot - Simple and elegant live chat software

@timconsidine This is resolved. Please pull the latest changes.

BASE_URL is from the FRONTEND_URL env variable you set in .env file. Please update the .env file FRONTEND_URL value to be your Cloudron chatwoot app URL.

Yes you are right. Please use the HTTPS one without specfiying port.

@v_shnu thank you !
Thanks for your support and help to get this packaged for Cloudron. Working very sweetly.

One small point is that the profile image for a user does not persist. It loads and saves initially, but seems to be reset when changing to another page of the app. Not a big issue because the rest is working nicely.

I love that you have iOS and Android apps and these connect to the self-host instance very smoothly. It's a big plus when choosing a chat app. Not sure if others here realise this is available.

@girish this seems to me stable and complete enough to be listed officially, but maybe you have some other checks you would like to do before then.

This is exciting.
Hope to see Chatwoot on the app store soon.

Working very sweetly.

@girish Could you please take a look and provide some early feedback? What are the next steps to get this published to Cloudron app store ?

Hey @girish, have you had a chance to look at this ?

Hi there, @girish any updates on this? I've contacted Cloudron (spoke to Johannes) but I was told that you guys are going to be occupied with the upcoming updates.
So I also contacted Chatwoot, apparently they have completed the basic version and are waiting for feedback from the Cloudron team to publish it on the app store.

Would really love to use Chatwoot as a stable solution in replace of FreeScout (so many errors in Github, and I've just encountered one today). Chatwoot support is solid, I can imagine this app will be a gem if added in Cloudron.
Thank you!

@aizat at the risk of being a broken record, try installing and using the unofficial version : it works fine : let cloudron get to it when they can, but you can be productive today

EDIT : if you need help to install, shout

[nebulon]

I have now started to take a closer look and cloned the existing repo into our app library at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/chatwoot-app

@sojan_official and @v_shnu please let us know if you want push right to our repo

Sorry that this took us so long to get around it. A brief look already shows that this package is very far, however not based on our docker base image as far as I can tell, so looking into this now

[Aizat]

@timconsidine Thank you so much! Its definitely not my level of technical prowess to handle it myself now. I'll do abit of research and will let you know if I'm stuck good to learn new things.

@nebulon Thank you so much

[nebulon]

I have ported the app package to our base image now and the app at least starts up and seems to be running with basic functionality. I haven't had the time yet to dig deeper into its functionality to find more possibly missing bits in the package, but I've published it as unstable for a start so others can quickly give it a try.

As a heads-up the email integration is not done yet, so don't expect anything there so far

[timconsidine]

@nebulon great work, thanks

[ianhyzy]

Just tried this out and it works great! Would love to have email but I got website embeds and twitter working in a snap! much better than rocket chat's version of this
edit: one bug is that images and file attachments seem to be broken, including setting channel icons in the client.

[nebulon]

@ianhyzy thanks for the feedback, package v0.2.0 has the upload issue fixed now.

[nebulon]

I will mark this here as solved, lets continue in the new forum category for Chatwoot now at https://forum.cloudron.io/category/135/chatwoot

[v_shnu]

@nebulon awesome Thank you. Let us know if you need anything from us. I started with the Chatwoot base image to have something working quickly.

[v_shnu]

@nebulon @girish Also it would be great if we could have access to the repo. vishnu at chatwoot dot com and sojan at chatwoot dot com.

[girish]

@v_shnu Can you register yourself at https://git.cloudron.io/ and give us the gitlab handles?

[nebulon]

@v_shnu I was able to find your account but not the one from sojan. You should have developer rights to the repo now.

[v_shnu]

@nebulon Sojan's username would be sojan-official. Thank you.

[nebulon]

@v_shnu thanks, I've added him as a developer to the repo as well
