Would be a great addition to Cloudron.

I've already looked a bit into the code. IMO, the difficult part is the many components involved with this software, i.e.:

Elasticsearch
Mongodb (no problem for this, just use the addon)
S3 for file upload (optional)
HackMD for collaborative editing (optional, can be an external hackmd server)
I could maybe look into starting a package for this app someday.

The community seems majoritarily japanese. They have a Slack server and pretty good documentation, other than the fact that translation is lacking a bit.

We already have a fork of HackMD in HedgeDoc.

Hello,
As of their version 7.0.0, GROWI directly supports collaborative editing, thus does not require HackMD anymore.

I have updated my package for Cloudron in order to make it work, please see https://github.com/Lanhild/growi-cloudron

The only missing points are the following:

• Filesystem permissions for plugins and image uploading
• Elasticsearch to support searching pages in the app

P.S.: If the Cloudron team wishes to manage the packaging for this app, I'll gladly hand in my code, just notify me!

Until Cloudron has Elasticsearch that's a pretty big hurdle.

I'll try to take a look at this, it seems very interesting and a good way to learn.

I'll share my progress, if any, here
