Funkwhale - A modern, convivial and free music server

[jdaviescoates]

@avatar1024 agreed!

I love that we've already got Mastodon, Pixelfed and Peertube on here, but I'd really love to have more Fediverse/ ActivityPub apps on here too, like:

Funkwhale - for music
Castopod - for podcasts
Mobilizon - for events
Lemmy - like reddit
Bookwyrm - like Good Reads
Pleroma - similar to Mastodon
Misskey - similar to Mastodon
Pinafore - nice simple alternative front-end for Mastodon, already packaged to some extent by @timconsidine - be nice if @staff could pick that up and get it into the app store

I'd love them ALL, but personally I'm particularly interested in Castopod and Mobilizon, which aside from Pleroma (which has been gathering upvotes for a good few years longer and is in the same use-case space as Mastodon and hence imho of lower priority), are also the most upvoted and desired for by the rest of the community on here too. So obviously many people agree with me

Not surprising really because I'm always right we don't have any podcasting nor events apps on Cloudron yet, fediverse apps nor otherwise.

So, here is my plea for everyone to continue to upvote Castopod and Mobilizon and for the good @appdev people to begin packaging them!

will be Funkwhale added to cloudron?

https://selfhosted.libhunt.com/compare-navidrome-readme-vs-funkwhale

Navidrome is available on Cloudron and seems to be more popular at the moment.

[jdaviescoates]

@LoudLemur Navidrome is great, but they have quite different feature sets. It'd be great if we had Funk Whale too!

What happened to this app?

[rmdes]

well... its not an official cloudron app but its running fine on my cloudron : https://github.com/rmdes/funkwhale-cloudron

[robi]

@rmdes ooh should be easy to add to CCAI / CAG for easier installs.

[rmdes]

Hmmm happy to do so but what's that ?

[jdaviescoates]

@rmdes it's @timconsidine's Cloudron Custom App Installer and Custom App Gateway

[timconsidine]

@rmdes I can add it to the Master Catalogue

Once added, Cloudron users can install it using a link.

Do you have a publicly available docker image ?
Or I can make one from the repo

Should it become one? @staff

[girish]

Added to @vladimir.d 's list

[rmdes]

@timconsidine you can make one from the repo or use this one : https://hub.docker.com/r/rmdes/funkwhale-cloudron
this is the one I'm using in "production"

[rmdes]

@timconsidine I'd be happy to implement whatever is necessary to make this possible, is there any documentation somewhere about this?

[timconsidine]

@rmdes ah, documentation - always the Achilles heel. Sorry, will make some, but in the interim ...

1. ensure the source git repo is publicly available, no login (just checked : it is already)

2. a prebuilt docker image on publicly available link (e.g. hub.docker.com

If no pre-built docker image available, I can build one.

With that information (just 2 URLs), I manually add the details to my CustomAppGateway and hey presto, users can install the app from a one-line install command, but better from CCAI-P as that has update process.

Planning to add update process for the one-liner install also.

The app is stable but it is based on the funkwhale v2, which is itself in RC, but in my experience is pretty stable, I have been running it for months in RC, in a bare-metal deployment, but then I really wanted to see this application on the cloudron store, so I went on an packaged it, studied the Taiga package to create this mono-container with 3 process running frontend by nginx, from what I'm seeing its running really well on our cloudron, including federation.

I migrated from my bare-metal and dumped the postgres to the postgres cloudron addon and after syncing the media files, everything was up and running without any data loss or federation activity gap, so i'm pretty confident its ready to be used by others.

I'll be alert to follow funkwhale releases and upgrade the docker image when necessary until it reach stable release
