Outline - a Notion-like open source app
-
So I was curious about my proposal and just tried this. Seems to work quote well. Much easier than setting up a fully fledged identity provider like keycloak imho.
Basically dex is a go app which is controlled by a yaml config. Currently just running it inside the outline app itself with a little nginx proxy in front of it. When logging in it redirects to the login mask from dex which then authenticates the user from cloudrons LDAP.wrote on Mar 6, 2022, 2:21 AM last edited by marcusquinn Mar 6, 2022, 3:51 PM@klawitterb Nice find and R&D! Looks like this might be just the thing for making Cloudron's LDAP useable by external apps:

Now that Cloudron adds authentication headers with the proxyAuth addon, maybe the easiest solution to integrate authentication is to use those headers in outline. I guess that might be as simple as adding a new file to the /server/routes/auth/providers dir. This would simplify the cloudron package because it wouldn't have to set up and run keycloak.

Then the only barrier to packaging for cloudron would be the hypothetical s3/minio addon mentioned above.

Update available: Outline v0.64.3
PS: Still no time to look into auth using Cloudron ProxyAuth

praying that you'll find the time! Hopefully then @staff will be able to take it from from there get this app into the App Store! (perhaps they could take a look at adding the ProxyAuth too? 
)Edit: or perhaps another better/simpler(I've no idea if it's either, rieally!
) option would be to connect the outline app to the Cloudron LDAP Directory Server https://docs.cloudron.io/user-management/#directory-server= ? -

Works pretty well.
If you're interested you can find the code in my repo https://git.apehost.de/cloudron-apps/outline -

Hopefully @staff can take a look at both these custom Outline packages and do whatever needs doing to get them into the store

Perhaps AppFlowy can offer an alternative in the meantime?

Outline is paid, it is better to add a free plan also.
There are also free and open source notion alternatives like Logseq or focalboard which can be checked herehttps://developingdaily.com/article/technology/best-notion-alternatives-open-source-and-free/314

Hosted Outline is paid, that doesn't apply to self-hosted. Outline is also free (as in freedom) open source software too.

The implementation of https://git.apehost.de/cloudron-apps/outline seems to be working. Is there some plan to publish it in the store? @staff

@girish sorry to bother you again about this, could you please take a look here? This app is vital to my company.

And not just you either, it's the second most upvoted app request on the wishlist after Wireguard VPN. Be great to have it on Cloudron!
