Outline - a Notion-like open source app

Perhaps AppFlowy can offer an alternative in the meantime?
Local installers available:

Outline is paid, it is better to add a free plan also.
There are also free and open source notion alternatives like Logseq or focalboard which can be checked herehttps://developingdaily.com/article/technology/best-notion-alternatives-open-source-and-free/314

Hosted Outline is paid, that doesn't apply to self-hosted. Outline is also free (as in freedom) open source software too.

The implementation of https://git.apehost.de/cloudron-apps/outline seems to be working. Is there some plan to publish it in the store? @staff

@girish sorry to bother you again about this, could you please take a look here? This app is vital to my company.
And not just you either, it's the second most upvoted app request on the wishlist after Wireguard VPN. Be great to have it on Cloudron!

So after investigation, the situation is this:
- Outline does not support any local authentication i.e it has no local user database.
- The developers have indicated that there is possibly LDAP in the enterprise version of the product. I haven't tried that, so I don't know if it's there.
- Authentication can be done via Google/GitHub (?) and other external services.
- OpenID is supported
Current package is using dex to bridge OpenID connect and Cloudron LDAP. This can be difficult to migrate in the long run (and is also two really apps in one).
So, we can't provide Outline immediately. We are going to first add OpenID connect as an addon. We used to have OAuth before as addon that did not work out well. We will try this for 7.4.

@girish It has never been easy to run. I had it running once years ago using Google or Slack, all hand-rolled and installed, and had to use this super niche code tweak that anyone who ever found it once could never find it again.
Just now I went over to the site to try to login with Slack... failed. I know this is a cool app, but I don't think it is going to be worth the hassle getting it to work. Focus on something else! -

Having OpenID Connect as an addon sounds great to me.

@scooke yeah, the upstream author has indicated that they won't accept changes not related to their SaaS. But maybe this has changed because they offer selfhosted plans. In any case, having OIDC in Cloudron won't hurt.
Also, I think I remember seeing the one line patch you mentioned...
