@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.

More or less is nowadays (in that you can now link Nextcloud Forms to Nextcloud Sheets).

NocoDB (also already on Cloudron) is pretty great for forms too (including in TypeForm style)

This topic should probably closed or something because the repo now just says:

This repository has been archived by the owner on Jun 20, 2024. It is now read-only.

https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform

In short, if you need to create a form and want to use something already on Cloudron you best options IMHO are:

Nextcloud Forms
NocoDB
LimeSurvey
Wordpress (Developer) with a plugin of your choice (I quite like Forminator)

@jdaviescoates good catch, will lock this topic, given that the upstream project is archived.
