HumHub - social network software

[Sam_uk]

@atridad @nebulon Have you made any progress with Humhub? I'd really like it in the app store. I may be able to fund this work if you can let me know what needs doing and what the cost is.

@Sam_uk I haven’t heard anything from the cloudron side of things. I will be continuing to update the HumHub version on my repo until it is picked up. The way account creation and SMTP settings are done might make it tough. @nebulon what are your thoughts on the way the app handles config? From what I can tell there is no way to programmatically configure the site, which makes things tougher.

@atridad @nebulon or I will take a look at how to proceed with this when we find a bit more time.

[Sam_uk]

@girish have you had a chance to look at this? Happy to pay for a bit of development time if that helps it happen sooner.

[Sam_uk]

@Sam_uk @nebulon did you have any thoughts on how to move this forward?

[nebulon]

Unfortunately we still had no time to further look into this. I just tried to build and install the current state from @atridad but it seems the basic installation is still missing some steps to produce a working app. Also it is now unclear what the status is, as the upstream package repo is archived. Probably took too long for us to get to it

Latest stable version 1.12.1 is out on their website.

[Sam_uk]

@robi @nebulon Can I buy some time?

[Sam_uk]

For now, I've moved my Humhub instances out of Cloudron.

It does run OK in Cloudron, but without being in the app store updates are a pain.

[nebulon]

Out of curiosity, why are updates a pain through Cloudron when using the cli tool to build and deploy the package compared to other deployment options?

[Sam_uk]

@nebulon I don't know how to do that. Maybe I just missed the documentation.

In a conventional LAMP install I just press the 'update' button in the webui (after testing in /dev)

[toja]

So how to interpret - this is dead in the water, and not coming to Cloudron? For a long time I really wished it was there.

[Sam_uk]

@toja Yes, I think so, unfortunately.

If anyone wants to pick up the work in the future this may be a useful starting position: https://github.com/transitionnetwork/cloudron-humhub-app/tree/main

OK, initial version is out. Thanks to @atridad and @vladimir-d
