Outline - a Notion-like open source app

[girish]

@doodlemania2 w00t, sorry. I meant outline

[klawitterb]

@girish I’ve used their env sample as a reference for configuring it with Dex in my package: https://github.com/outline/outline/blob/main/.env.sample

[chetbaker]

hello! I stumbled upon this again and I wonder if any of you have any luck with a self-hosted install of Outline but using Cloudron's OIDC. Cloudron documentation of it it's not very complete for a newbie like me.

[girish]

@chetbaker now that we have OIDC, we will be looking into outline again. But this will take a bit. But feel free to experiment on your own, just wanted to put this note.

@girish This is an excellent app to have in Cloudron. With this addition, It will make Cloudron a complete solution for everything we need for self-hosting apps.

Did you ever get around to look at Outline again @girish - be great to have it on Cloudron!

Is the OIDC integration (and the necessary time to integrate it) the only "blocking" factor here or is there any other element of the package/source preventing a release in Cloudron?
This app would be a great addition indeed.

@matbrgz I think we are almost there. With 7.4, we introduce OIDC. In theory, outline supports OIDC but we have to check.

OIDC support in Outlook Outline itself - the situation is quite unclear to me, since it's not documented anywhere clearly. Do you know anything about this?

I was able to get OIDC working without any problems with an instance outside of cloudron using their documentation in the env.example:

# To configure generic OIDC auth, you'll need some kind of identity provider.
# See documentation for whichever IdP you use to acquire the following info:
# Redirect URI is https://<URL>/auth/oidc.callback
OIDC_CLIENT_ID=
OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=
OIDC_AUTH_URI=
OIDC_TOKEN_URI=
OIDC_USERINFO_URI=

# Specify which claims to derive user information from
# Supports any valid JSON path with the JWT payload
OIDC_USERNAME_CLAIM=preferred_username

# Display name for OIDC authentication
OIDC_DISPLAY_NAME=OpenID Connect

# Space separated auth scopes.
OIDC_SCOPES=openid profile email

What's not working for you?

[girish]

@andreasdueren mmm, so you set this up against Cloudron's OIDC server? Last we checked, leantime needed a key mode authentication to OIDC which we haven't implemented yet. But maybe this has since been fixed?

edit: whoops, sorry, completely different apps

Last we checked, leantime

This is about Outline, not Leantime

+1 for Outline. It's very nicely designed and modern.

Upvote the original post at the top of the thread (had a quick look a don't think I spotted your icon in the upvoters)

Hey, I've put together an OIDC enabled Cloudron app here: https://gist.github.com/walski/e5d5b7ddb781f028b071b6ca12c460cd this runs just fine on our Cloudron Happy to make this "app-store-ready" if somebody can let me know what exactly that entails

[timconsidine]

Well done @walski
For App Store ready, maybe @staff can confirm, but these are good steps :

• add a LICENCE (copy from source repo ?)
• add a README (credit the source repo and provide a link)
• optionally add a POSTINSTALL.md if there any post-install steps
• maybe add a repo to https://git.cloudron.io/, although I think @staff need to permission your account to create repos, and maybe they can work with the link you provided

I'm sure there will be several keen to try it out

Thank you!

Happy to make this "app-store-ready" if somebody can let me know what exactly that entails

Have a read of https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/publishing/

Although my understanding is that one of the things that needs doing is writing tests and I can't find anything about doing that in the guides/ tutorials

But @staff can advise

[walski]

I've updated the packaged app to include a license, run the app as the cloudron user and also cleaned up the manifest a bit. Happy to help more if there is anything left to do

[girish]

@walski awesome ! Do you have a repo instead of a github gist ?

I can also give you access to https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/outline-app and you can commit it there directly. If you can create an account in git.cloudron.io and give me your id, I can give you access.

[jdaviescoates]

@girish exciting that it sounds like we're edging towards having Outline in the Cloudron App store (and with OIDC too!)

[walski]

@girish I've DM'd you. You can also just clone the gist as a git repo: git@gist.github.com:e5d5b7ddb781f028b071b6ca12c460cd.git
