Postiz - social media scheduling tool
-
Cloudron doesn't have a social media scheduling tool in its app catalogue, so let me suggest one - Postiz
The app is written in NodeJS using Postgres and can be self-hosted.
It connects to all major platforms. It is quite new, though, so no information about how well it will be supported.
Here is the link to the website.

Mixpost was such a disappointment. Hopefully Postiz will make it to the app store.

Mixpost was such a disappointment
Why, just because it's not made it into the app store? or something else?
When I had a (admittedly not very in depth) play with a test instance the developer gave me short-term access too I thought it was great (in that what I tried to do - cross post an image to twitter, fb and masto all at the same time - worked perfectly).

@jdaviescoates Not making it to the app store is a bummer, but the installation and updating process is the main issue. I updated from 2.2.3 to 2.3.0 and the app broke. All the fields have the "backend code" look to them. I reported a bug about not receiving emails on MP's Discord weeks ago and I haven't received any response from the dev. I'm looking to see if setting up Mixpost on Laravel inside a Cloudron LAMP app would be more stable, but the upstream docs regarding updating only list Docker and PHP and no mention of Laravel. WTF. I asked about this on Discord and I'm still waiting on a reply.

Hi guys! founder of Postiz here.
Let me know if you need any help

@nevo-david Hi David! It would be great to have this packaged for the Cloudron app store. Have you seen the following pages?
https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/
https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/publishing/The package will be maintained in our GitLab at https://git.cloudron.io. The original package authors will be given commit permissions to the repository (and we greatly appreciate packagers who continue maintaining it!). To aid this process, we recommend that the packaging source code is in a repository of it's own and not part of the app's code repository.

Hi @humptydumpty
At the moment the community requires more basic ones like docker-compose and railway but as soon as I finish with those I will try to create something for cloudron -
Hi and welcome here @nevo-david ! postiz does look very nice and well done, from the outside. We usually take on the app packaging on behalf of the upstream devs to maintain timely tested updates for Cloudron, so no need for you to spend time on that.
If you want, it would be great, if you could share a bit your ideas behind the selfhosted part of Postiz. From what I can gather that project sustains itself only via the SaaS offering?
Also looking through the deployment docs, it seems to rely on resend API to send out emails, is this optional or also for transactional emails of the app? I am asking as Cloudron comes with an email sending infrastructure, so we could maybe look into contributing nodemailer or so then to make use of this.

Hi @nebulon, I am very much into open-source. One of my main websites is https://gitroom.com
I think open-source is the way for ethical and transparent startups.
It's very early, but I do hope the SaaS offering will generate enough money
Yes, resend is only for transactional and soon will be changed to be more generic -
@nevo-david Great work! And great to see you here!
Don't forget to post plenty of screenshots to help people here understand and upvote for your app.
