It's still early days, should probably wait until V1, but just wanted to get this here as a reminder to keep an eye on it.

Nice addition. Good to see their crowdfunder went well.

Now the big question: will it scrape Facebook?

[yusf]

Early days no more! 1.0 just got released. And there's LDAP

[ruihildt]

@yusf cool!

[jdaviescoates]

@yusf nice!

Here are install instructions:

No official docker yet, but a few community ones by the looks of it.

Here is the 1.0 release:

Would love to have this!

That would be ace!

[scooke]

I like that this is their own home-grown tool rather than another open source tool with "frama-" pasted on the front of the name.

[ruihildt]

@scooke This is their new approach, same as with Peertube.

Yeah, although while they now lead on that it was originally started by someone else so not quite so fully home baked. But pretty much

[yusf]

Docker support has arrived, https://hub.docker.com/r/framasoft/mobilizon

[tubelubs]

It would be awsome to have this in the quartet Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed and Mobilizon. Mobilizon being the missing piece...

[yusf]

@tubelubs Exactly! I think Cloudron stand to gain by marketing also to the fediverse community.

[jdaviescoates]

@yusf yeah, I think @Staff ought to add Fediverse as a category in the app store too so that people can quickly see what we've already got here

[ruihildt]

I like that idea of having a specific category for it.

[girish]

@jdaviescoates I think that's an excellent idea! I guess right now we have mastodon, matrix, pixelfed. Maybe we will add the category after we add a couple more apps?

[jdaviescoates]

@girish why wait? 3 is already more than there are in Games

[girish]

@jdaviescoates done

[jdaviescoates]

@girish nice, thanks! (although I think I would've gone with Fediverse over Federated myself).

I think there are a quite a few other improvements that could be made too, e.g. I'm surprised there are no Contacts nor Calendar categories either.

[jdaviescoates]

@girish PS I think you should add it to https://www.cloudron.io/store/index.html too (also just realised that Popular and New aren't shown there either, which I think they should be - indeed, I think in many way even more important to show them there to potential new customers than to existing users )
