Windmill: Open-source alternative to Airplane, Superblocks, Retool

[chrisbol]

This would be great if available at Cloudron

Open-source developer infrastructure for internal tools. Self-hostable alternative to Airplane, Pipedream, Superblocks and a simplified Temporal with autogenerated UIs to trigger workflows and scripts as internal apps. Scripts are turned into UIs and no-code modules, no-code modules can be composed into very rich flows, and script and flows can be triggered from internal UIs made with a low-code builder. The script languages supported are: Python, Typescript, Go, Bash.

I believe that's how the apps goes app in the wishlist: up!

@chrisbol Thanks for posting this - I've dabbled a bit on a dedicated install and it is very useful!
@girish This makes me think that Windmill could possibly be used to enable lower-level system scripting to help with Multi-Host implementation

With n8n, it's a must have in Cloudron

@Kubernetes ?

Thanks for the suggestion. This has everything I miss in n8n.
I run it on coolify and it doesn't require much configuration.

This is very similar to what @andreasdueren is currently packaging, so a reuse of the pattern will be useful.
