We are going to spend pretty much rest of the year in packaging new apps.

Nice one.

Hopefully some of the existing apps can be improved too, eg like adding LDAP to Discourse? I really want this, so fingers and toes crossed!

(and, far less important, but would also be nice to have it for Calibre Web too - at present you can actually already choose to use it for that, but it doesn't actually work)

Another +100 on the Jitsi front too!

I think the difficulty here is there is no existing Discourse LDAP plugin . The existing one still does not auto-create users in Discourse after LDAP login, last I checked. Would be some work for us to learn ruby/rails/discourse plugins and maintain this. If someone here or somewhere else, can come up with the plugin, we can integrate it into the package.

This would seem to suggest that might've been fixed:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/version-2-4-0-beta7-broken-ldap-account-creation/134430/5?u=jdaviescoates

Although the plugin hasn't been updated in quite a while now too, so perhaps it broke again or something

Saying that, whilst this issue is still open, it sounds to me like auto creation should work:

[girish]

@jdaviescoates Indeed, https://github.com/jonmbake/discourse-ldap-auth#a-note-on-user-account-creation suggests that it does auto create. I will try it and check.

Absolutely! Thank you so much for opening up the frontier of Free Software!

@girish you and your team do amazing work and I can never thank you enough.

I also wanted to say thank you for your development work.

I don't have enough time to post in the forums but I appreciate, on a daily basis, the work you all do on Cloudron.

I am regularly (pleasantly) surprised when I see my server has been updated to the next verison, without issues. This is a testament to your great work.

@girish Wireguard?

[girish]

@dylightful yup, it's high on the list!

[girish]

Mail manager role is now implemented. There is a new role:

That user can then manage mailboxes and users. This role does not allow user to update email service status and outbound settings. Only admin can do those.

[bubonicfred]

@jdaviescoates Yeh, I'd really like to trial an internal forum, but lack of LDAP is blocking that.
Also discourse seems to use an unreal about of resources when running.

[humptydumpty]

@bubonicfred flarum would be nice to have on here

[chris]

@girish so I can stop checking the new apps tab every day, any eta on when new apps will start to be published ?

[girish]

@chris Usually, we put them in the announce category - https://forum.cloudron.io/category/1/announcements . Right now, we are trying to get some of our existing apps up to speed since they require some platform changes (like minio, mailtrain, discourse, gitlab).

@girish end of the year is upon us, any chance the focus on "packing new apps" by end of year still a thing or did this get delayed? (if delayed, any eta?)

[girish]

It's now possible to expose the LDAP server:

[girish]

Some apps refuse to log to stdout/stderr or are very hard to configure. We have added a new manifest property called logPaths where the package specify an array of log file names - https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/manifest/#logpaths . This way users don't need to open a web terminal and find the log files inside the container.

[nebulon]

We have added CIFS/samba seal encryption support https://manpages.debian.org/testing/cifs-utils/mount.cifs.8.en.html#seal

SMB v3 on the storage server is required. Hetzner storage boxes support this by now.

Which means that now the admin/operator of an app has a button in the settings of an app to open the files specified in the manifest?

It's tailored for logging at this point. When you open log window, it will tail -f those files in addition to stdout/stderr. Though, your idea of having "bookmarks" might be a good idea for a File manager as well.
