https://github.com/outline/outlineI first heard about it in this post by @girish who also points out that the developer doesn't seem too keen in getting LDAP support added, but I whilst I'd love LDAP support to be included, lots of existing Cloudron apps don't have it (Discourse, etc - we need a filter in the app store to be able to easily see which other apps) and so I don't think that should be a show stopper (whilst still being a nice to have if at all possible).

@jdaviescoates 3 months ago I took a stab at getting this running locally. Here is a link to my steps that I shared on a reddit post. It was tricky, but I got it running. However, when I tried online, both on a VPS (from DO?) as well as Heroku I ran into an authentication problem with Slack... and it seems like several others who tried this had the same problem. I find it tricky to troubleshoot because googling "slack" and "outline" nets you all kinds of documentation for outlining slack!

@scooke I'm guessing lots of people might want the Slack auth to work, personally I'd not be too bothered about that as I want my users to ditch Slack in preference for Rocket.Chat or other self hosted open source solutions

@jdaviescoates Oh, the app is setup to require the Slack auth. Without it you can't login. So, sort of a dealbreaker if you can't get it running self-hosted. I can't find the links at the moment but there were a few people out there who banged their heads against the wall trying to get it to work with no result. I imagine the makers have made it so people will just give in and pay for the hosted version.

That is a bit shitty
Seems it also has Google login too
But yeah, ideally wouldn't want to use either

Supposedly "open source" but has no native login --- Outline is taking the Mickey!

@Hillside502 looks like there is movement on this front

@ianhyzy Nice, watching this one with interest!

Just checked, don't see any progress on this unless I'm missing something?

Any updates on getting Outline on to Cloudron?
I've been playing around with a hosted version, and have to say Outline seems very intuitive and easy to use, compared with some of the alternatives (on Cloudron and otherwise).

I think at present it still only possible to login with Google and Slack.
Apparently this is the current block:

@jdaviescoates mmm... that's a pity. hopefully they'll add other authentication options soon.
@lucidfox it looks like a relevant pull request adding other authentication methods has now been merged!
https://github.com/outline/outline/pull/1934
Now we just need someone to package it for Cloudron!

I'd personally love to use this so I don't mind taking a crack at it. Can't until after this weekend though so if anyone else wants to go for it... go nuts.
notion but never liked the fact I rely on a third party service for some personal data.
