This is kind of already here as Tell Form (of which OhMyForm is a fork):
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1200/tellform-open-source-alternative-to-typeformPerhaps @nebulon should edit that post to be OhMyForm so we don't split the vote?
-
Yeah at least OhMyForm is updated. If we can combine these two requests that'd be great. A form builder is much needed!
-
Looks like this is approaching 1.0.0
It's currently at 0.9.5
https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/releases/tag/0.9.5Here are docker instructions
https://ohmyform.com/docs/install/ -
@echokos Yes, I agree, a form builder is much needed also for his easy of use...
-
@jdaviescoates Yes, they're approaching 1.0.0. I hope this app can be upvoted so it can be installed on app store
-
I tried to install by myself on a fresh server but it's a little complicated for me.
I think this app could help a lot of people, specially those tired of the overwhelming power of Typeform.
Hope can be voted and made available on the store
-
Yes the app looks great so far, I think we will wait for their 1.0 release to create an app package then.

Great stuff. They are getting there... now on 0.9.6 https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/releases

OhMy that is slick! Typeform is definitely one on my target wishlist to have a nice FOSS Cloudron alternative to. Good find!
TBH I'd be happy to try it at any stage since a basic contact form is pretty much essential on any website and I'm focusing on Ghost website building for a bit, which is all about the embeds instead of Wordpress's plugin for everything approach that can be a bit of a conflict hazard.
-
I've only just started looking into Mautic - and have to say, very impressed - and the form builder in there is decent, plus nicely guides you through CRM orientated data collection.
Just noting here in case anyone hasn't tried, looks well worth working with that to centralise data because any separate form-builder still needs the data processing and you might find Mautic inspires good practice with those submissions and responding to them.
-
Just to add, Nextcloud now has a forms app too, and so people waiting for OhMyForm might want to have a play with that (especially if you're already using Nextcloud anyway).
-
Just adding OhMyForms and Oh My Form and Oh My Forms here to make this easier to find!
-
Oooh, it's getting close to 1.0
Currently on 0.99
https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/releases -
@jdaviescoates Will be the killer application of all survey industry?
-
@p44 I'm not sure about that, but it does look like a nice self-hosted alternative to Typeform
-
@jdaviescoates We will see
Meanwhile I hope that this app will be part of Cloudron kit -
We're so close at 0.9.9!
Time to start package prep.

@robi Looking forward to this. Sadly my packaging skills are low and not above packaging the sample apps.
-
I dropped a line on their Github issue to see if anyone is interested.

@robi It seems the dev isn't interested in learning new things and simply expects a PR.

@robi Wow! Cannot believe...
-
https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/issues/130 is the issue that @robi has opened.
-
@robi It seems the dev isn't interested in learning new things and simply expects a PR.
I think that's expected. Upstream authors generally have way too many things on their hands. My impression is that in most cases, the "packaging" is usually done by people outside the project. Not even talking about Cloudron here but things like packaging for ubuntu/redhat/centos or some other platform. The Dockerfile's that are usually in upstream repos are also mostly targeted at development rather than deployment.
-
@robi this is normal! please be nice to open source devs, they do a lot of work for free. It's understandable they don't want to learn a packaging system they don't use.
-
@girish True, especially about authors being inundated .... although I suspect that them saying "it's targeted at development" is usually cop-out for something like :
-
"I'm a developer, don't expect me to finish things completely, it works here"
-
"I'm a developer, don't expect me to write documentation, it's obvious if you read the code"
-
"I'm a developer, I develop things, I moved on to something else"
I'm not being rude (well, not intentionally). It's just my experience of running software projects and a software house for 15 years. Love developers, awesome people, wish I could do what they do, but <guesstimate> 70% fall in one of the above categories.

Has anyone looked at getting this packaged?
Something has come up that would make this very useful right now.
Life of Gratitude.
Life of Advanced Technology -
@robi I think the idea was to wait for 1.0. My plan was to mention the app dev group once that happens
-
Currently 4 issues away from 1.0
-
Now is a time I could really use a self hosted form app, so this came up again.
Has anyone managed to package this, even in unofficial form?
@atridad ?

Form building is very useful. There is some form building integrated into Odoo and its fork, Flectra. Both of these applications have been requested:
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1403/flectra-erp-and-cms-an-open-source-alternative-do-odoo/11
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1403/flectra-erp-and-cms-an-open-source-alternative-do-odoo/11
Odoo/Flectra integrate the form building for recruitment into other modules, for example ones related to recruitment or contacts.

@robi Think your options here right now are Wordpress or Lime Survey.
We're not here for a long time - but we are here for a good time :)

@robi : I tried it out on Caprover, but it failed to install correctly.

Or Nextcloud forms
-
they finally pushed v1.0.0 2 days ago, but their focus shifted to a docker-only deployment, not sure if this is going to fly with cloudron
-
@msbt doesn't look like https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/blob/master/Dockerfile is hard to adapt to Cloudron, no?
-
@girish hah indeed, I only checked out http://ohmyform.com/docs/install/ and the corresponding dockerfiles in their ui/api repos, hopefully you're right, have to check again
-
1.0.3 came out a couple of weeks ago:
https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/releases/tag/1.0.3There is also a demo here:
https://omf-demo.herokuapp.com/Although it doesn't seem to actually work for me, perhaps because it's still running 1.0.0-alpha
Also spotted these docker examples:
https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/tree/master/examplesOh and these on Docker Hub:
https://hub.docker.com/u/ohmyform -

I tried the demo now but hardly anything seems to work on it.

If only there was an easy way to try out the docker container.

@robi I just tried in a separate VPS.
From what I can tell, it lacks some basic things: you cannot reorder the form fields. The UI also has some strange refresh issues (deleting form does not reflect the list). We should probably wait for this one to mature a bit more.
Is anyone else using this outside Cloudron already?

I tried this on CapRover but couldn't get it working.
Maybe bad packaging there.
I will try to give it another go. -

Note that the one on caprover seems to have quite an old image (pre-1.0).
