some first findings

But, with enough memory available, creating the first user and groups seemed to go smoothly (in spite of those errors and warnings).

@jdaviescoates same here. Now with 4 GB RAM

I didn't actually increase the memory available for Loomio, just reduced how much memory my server was using.

More thoughts:

• LDAP doesn't seem to be enabled (even though during the install process it implies that it is). It seems the only way to login is by creating a new account via email.

• Whenever you create a new account you instantly land on the screen where you start a new group. This is a bit confusing (but perhaps this is just how self-hosted Loomio works?).

• There is no LDAP support in Loomio so LDAP will be also disabled in the next version of the cloudron app.
  They seem to be supporting OAuth, SAML providers but there is a lack of details in the documentation how to set it up. It needs some further research. As far as I can see some environment variables need to be setup and /app/data/.env can be used for that.

• Yes, it redirects to a new group creating form when a new account created. This is how it works and there seems no way to amend it for now.

A new Loomio app version 0.3.0 has been released.
It has websockets connection issue fixed and switched ldap and IMAP polling off as it hasn't been implemented in Loomio yet.

Just played around with the app a bit. You sign up first and create groups. The groups can have a friendly URL like https://loomio.example.com/my-community . You can then disable group creation and then even maybe user registration - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/loomio/#registration . You then just pass around the community link directly instead of the app's base domain link. People can register and network.

4Gb of memory allocated. I'm still unable to create a group.

As an aside here's some SSO info https://www.loomio.com/d/CL8Xr5kW/is-sso-compatible-with-selfhosted-loomio-/15

@Sam_uk I can reproduce the group creation issue. Investigating.

@Sam_uk this should be fixed now.

[Sam_uk]

Yes it's now working. Thanks.
