Indeed looks like they removed all the beta labels by now. Maybe I will get around looking at the package over the weekend.

This would be fantastic and much appreciated.

Just wondering... did you manage to have a look and make some progress?

Took me a bit but I tried this today morning. The backend aspect is django and quite doable. Frontend unfortunately nextjs which usually blows up the resulting image by GBs, but that is also doable.

Unfortunately it does require a S3 host for media as well as keycloak for its user backend. The latter may work with our OpenID provider, however S3 is a bit of a blocker, unless we package some S3 server within the app

Will see how far we can get here over time.

@nebulon Thanks for looking into this @nebulon . Much appreciated.

So I got it to the point now where oidc login works through Cloudron. If anyone is curious and maybe wants to figure out a way how to get around the S3 requirement to create any document in the first place, I pushed all package code to https://git.cloudron.io/playground/docs-app for the moment.

@nebulon Trying to read up a bit on it. In the docs it says s3 for production is optional: "Object Storage (optional)".

Does this mean it's functional without file upload without it?

[nebulon]

Yes, however so far I couldn't figure a configuration which does not try to use S3. I did ask in the matrix channel, but so far no answer to that. Lets see...

@nebulon why not add S3 as a default "DB" and storage layer in Cloudron?

[nebulon]

Yes, this may be worth considering, but will certainly delay getting this package out for the moment

I got a response from the upstream team and indeed S3 is not optional but mandatory, the optional is for the original S3 or optionally something like minio.
