      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.

      @atrilahiji that would be brilliant! I don't have any packaging skills, but happy to help with testing or anything else.

        @atrilahiji the developer said new versions come monthlyish around the 15ish and so a version with the new authentication method likely not available until after the weekend anyway.

        And I'm not actually sure if it's ready for self-hosting yet (it wasn't initially designed for that) but be great for people here with relevant skills to take a look πŸ™‚

          @jdaviescoates said in Outline - a Notion-like open source app:

          ready for self-hosting yet

          It looks like there are still a few things to be done before the new authentication options are available:

            @jouel I think searching before posting is a great idea πŸ˜› πŸ˜‰

            There is already an App Wishlist post for Outline here:
            https://forum.cloudron.io/post/8756

            Seems it's not quite ready for self-hosting yet, but it's getting there πŸ™‚

            But yeah I agree it looks great πŸ™‚

              Well it looks like it's possible to host Outline in docker, there is a docker compose file on github:

              https://github.com/outline/outline/blob/main/docker-compose.yml

              Notably, it uses postgres, redis, and an s3 api.

                @infogulch yeah, but there is no local authentication yet https://github.com/outline/outline/projects/5

                So at present your can self host but you'd still have to login using Google or Slack

                    Outline model is open core, so don't get your hopes too high to get all functionalities in the Open Source version.

                        @ruihildt I emailed them asking if any features aren't included, they replied:

                        We offer an enterprise edition that has these additional features:

                        • Audit trail
                        • SAML login (Okta, OneLogin, etc)
                        • Support contract

                        Everything else is included in the OSS edition

                          Latest release includes generic oidc authentication. Hooked it up with keycloak and seems to be running fine.

                            I tried to install Outline on a separate VPS using CapRover
                            But it failed, maybe because I skipped the gmail and slack env variables, as I don't use those platforms.
                            So I canned it.
                            Maybe I will try again.

                            It certainly looks a useful app and would be nice to have here on Cloudron.

                                @timconsidine Keycloak ist a fully fledged identity provider. So you're presented with millions of config options. Wouldn't call myself an expert in this topic but setting up a new client is quite straight forward if you've used oidc before.

                                  Where do you host keycloak ? You managed to get it as custom package into cloudron or you use it on another VPS ?

                                    @timconsidine Yeah, this is one of those impossible to install apps that are super appealing to everyone. I've only ever managed to do it once, there's a write-up somewhere out there, but I've never chatted with anyone else who actually set it up. It seems ppl just got the hosted one. Too bad, really.

                                      @timconsidine I've packed it up as a custom cloudron app. Wouldn't call it production ready though. Same for outline itself.
                                      So I've got now 3 apps driving this, outline, keycloak and minio for storage. Not exactly simple. 😬

                                        if it gets to production and you don't mind sharing it, let us know.
                                        I'm having a play keycloak on another VPS (I'm always nervous of breaking things on my Cloudron)

                                          @timconsidine on the topic of oidc. There is a fully featured oidc provider within the Kopano Meet app. For internal use I have even separated the oidc provider into a separate app.

                                          I did write down how to configure external apps on cloudron against it in https://blog.9wd.eu/posts/cloudron-oidc-nextcloud/
