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:

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.

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

Or Nextcloud forms

[msbt]

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

[girish]

@msbt doesn't look like https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform/blob/master/Dockerfile is hard to adapt to Cloudron, no?

[msbt]

@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/1.0.3

There 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/examples

Oh 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).

Just adding a link here to SnoopForms thread as imho that looks like the best bet for a TypeForm alternative/ good forms app:

I've come to the conclusion that the best self-hosted forms solution is going to be a Wordpress plugin.

My favourite is Fluent Forms, which has this same conversational style of interface as an option, and multi-step quizzes. Could just host WP on a subdomain if only the forms were needed.

Typebot is another interesting one in the space, with a Typebot Wordpress plugin.

Just some ideas, until this gets a look.

This is the one I used last time I needed a form (on a WordPress website):

https://wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/

Although I sometimes just use Lime Survey too.

I'm also hoping that Nextcloud Forms will eventually be good. I mean, it's already not bad, but it's not like Google Forms and it ought to be, really.
