Regular App Packaging Event

[robi]

Shall we continue with these?

The more we do, the more progress we'll make on our fav App Wishlist and getting them to a stable state.

Doing these in multiple regions also multiplies our progress.

@robi I don't think I have the time or energy to plan or organize one but I will gladly join. Its just been a rough year...

I can't believe I missed this thread originally. I'm up for participating somehow.

I couldn't make out how the last one was actually hosted and recorded (the one by @doodlemania2 ) - did he use his, or someone else's BBB? Croodle? And where is the finished movie of the packaging, for reference?

[doodlemania2]

@scooke The first one we did on Peertube and I uploaded it to Cloudron's Peertube instance. Interactivity was via Matrix. The second one we did was done on BBB (someone loaned us a code). Now that I have a BBB for anyone to use, welcome to host you all any time. You can also use my BBB for your Greenlight app (as long as you don't crater it)

[robi]

Shall we circle back to this and do more?

[timconsidine]

@robi Missed the original discussions, but great idea and would like to watch, in order to learn. Look forward to a next date.

[luckow]

yes please. and we should bring @jsuto into the loop to have #piler in the app store

[robi]

Shall we resume these events?

[robi]

Feels like it's time for more of these events!

Who's in?

@robi How do we choose an app?

[robi]

@scooke However you like!

If it's an in-person meetup or online, there is a host who is organizing and setting up the event, maybe recording it, etc.

They can choose an app they want for the event or another person like an app dev can choose one.

Or you make a deal with both to separate duties, while you try the packaging yourself with guidance from others. Fun!

The idea is to choose one we haven't done before, perhaps in a different language than before, so we cover more of the spectrum.

Just choose one, any one in the App Requests will do and move things forward.

@scooke I vote for Zabbix totally not because I had no time to finish my development of the app.
https://git.cloudron.io/BrutalBirdie/zabbix-app

Also Zabbix is just awesome and I would start sharing my Cloudron Templates for Zabbix Monitoring via API.
So everyone could monitor their own Cloudron . . . until it goes offline and then takes Zabbix with it

Nice, we can do better, monitoring ours and each others for a few key services to avoid being notificationless

[fbartels]

I would be up for such a session as well, but currently I don’t have an app that I would like to package for myself.

PS: you guys only have a single cloudron? But even then I’m running my base monitoring on fly.io.

[robi]

@fbartels How about one or more of the Wireguard Apps?

That's another good topic, show and tell on how you do 3rd party monitoring with flies, haha. bzzzz

[fbartels]

@robi regarding fly.io: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7100/free-off-site-monitoring-with-fly-io-and-uptime-kuma/ or with a few more details at https://noted.lol/easy-off-site-monitoring-with-fly-io-and-uptime-kuma/

[robi]

@fbartels Thanks for the reminder!

[scooke]

Penpot would be nice. Or egroupware.

One of those easy to implement Wireguard solutions would be awesome, e.g. https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7571/netbird-foss-noconf-mesh-vpn-using-wireguard-alternative-to-zerotier-tailscale-omniedge-netmaker-etc/
