HackMD - Fast and flexible, real-time collaborative markdown

[jeau]

it would be nice
great thanks

[jeau]

however, there are some issues :

• inside of the app the uid is shown instead of the username (issue identified in the TODO list)
• write permission problem to generate pdf files (cf logs)

I'm running on my personal server the one from Github and I can confirm the same issues pointed by @jeau.

If you can publish it as a cloudron app, I could finally update it to latest.

I added a config file config.json to specify the tmp directory and ldap username, and it seems to work fine.

{
    "production": {
        "tmpPath": "../../app/data/tmp",
        "ldap": {
              "usernameField": "username"
        }
    }
}

Just for reference. I have posted on chat.cloudron.io since i get an error when trying to push the app to the cloudron store. seems the original author tried to publish it already.

Hi Felix

I have noticed that images imported into our hackmd app are not included in the pdf export. This problem has already been identified: https://github.com/hackmdio/hackmd/issues/820

This feature is experimental (Beta). We could disable it by setting the environment variable HMD_ALLOW_PDF_EXPORT to false

Hi @jeau,

this change is now in https://github.com/fbartels/cloudron-hackmd/tree/v0.0.4

[girish]

I have started polishing this so that we can get this published upstream. Writing the tests... https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/hackmd-app . @fbartels @jeau I have give you guys master access in case you want to continue contributing there. Be sure to run the tests (which I will push shortly) before pushing commits, thanks.

[girish]

OK, it's available int he appstore now. Thanks for all the hard work!

@girish Great, that was very informative for me.

https://cloudron.io/store/io.hackmd.cloudronapp.html is the appstore link

Hi @girish ,

I have updated the git repo with the newest version of HackMD (which is now called CodiMD). But for some reason cloudron install fails with an error I haven't seen before:

$ cloudron install
ERROR No image found, please run `cloudron build` first or specify a `dockerImage` in the CloudronManifest [ /usr/lib/node_modules/cloudron/src/helper.js:65:29 ]

This is despite cloudron build finishing succesfully.

@fbartels The development is being continued in ssh://git@git.cloudron.io:6000/cloudron/codimd.git . You should have access to the repo. Can you confirm? Thanks. I had already renamed it to CodiMD.

[fbartels]

Hi @girish ,

thanks for renaming the repo, I just did a small test commit and can push to the new url. I had a look at the commits in the repo and compared it against what I can see in the Cloudron app store, did you not push your latest changes?

[GustavoMarcante]

As CodiMD (open source fork of HackMD) is now available on Cloudron, I think this topic could be renamed or close, don't you think?

[stoccafisso]

Hi. Is it possible to have this app use its own user management? I would like to invite people to cooperate creating slides, but it seems they must be a cloudron user to get access. I would rather avoid creating cloudron accounts for these users.

[fbartels]

@stoccafisso yes, after installation you can manually change the config file (in /app/data) to allow this. Codimd probably needs to be restarted for changes to take effect.

[stoccafisso]

@fbartels Thank you. Looks like I got this working

[stoccafisso]

@fbartels just a heads up. The documentation links on this page is not working: https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/codimd/
