      Hello Cloudron community!

      My name is Nick and I am posting here in hopes of getting the Homebase app created by- https://beakerbrowser.com/ added to the Cloudron app store. Here is the repo- https://github.com/beakerbrowser/homebase
      Beakerbrowser is built with Electron & utilizes the-https://datproject.org/ which is a p2p protocol for publishing data including web pages and web apps. The browser also accesses the conventional web via (http/https)

      The Homebase app allows users to:

      • Keep dat:// websites online
      • Publish dat:// websites to DNS shortnames
      • Mirror dat:// websites to https://
      • Provision and manage HTTPS with Let's Encrypt
      • Optional Pinning Service API endpoints

      They have a company which has built and provides a hosting service called- https://hashbase.io/
      This has also been open sourced- https://github.com/beakerbrowser/hashbase
      The point of the projects (Beakerbrowser, Dat & Hashbase/Homebase) are to create an open web with "no servers" but we all understand there still have to be some form of server somewhere and in this instance a self hosted server like Cloudron is more than ideal. We would like to be able to simply install the Homebase app and start to host web-pages and apps on the Dat protocol/network from a personal secure cloud! I can imagine many others would enjoy and utilize this as well!

      Regardless, ❤ what y'all are doing with Cloudron!

      Here are some additional resource about the listed projects:
      YouTube
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ_WvfF3FN8
      Youtube Video

      Go and download the Beakerbrowser to access the below podcast with the founders: Episode 3 is good!
      dat://dat-cast.hashbase.io/

      Also, just mess around with the browser especially if you are a web and or app developer!

        @plusone-nick Nice find, just spotted they are at v1.0 now:

        • https://twitter.com/BeakerBrowser/status/1259859811790991362?s=20

        Worth a read:

        • https://beakerbrowser.com/docs/how-beaker-works/peer-to-peer-websites

        I can see this being a good add-on for Cloudron as a way to host sites without needing a central authority controlled domain name, or to have peer-to-peer domain redundancy.

        By coincidence (or brainwashing algo) the above Twitter link appeared directly after this more controversial Tweet, that highlights the increasing awareness of deplatforming risks for publishers:

              @robi +1 - I use Zeronet as well. It's pretty good if you can sift out the cruft.
