App contributions hall of fame

@girish and @nebulon, obviously. Who else?

EDIT: I just realised I could do an Advanced search for "most of the packaging work" in Announcements to find lots of them (although not all, as e.g. that didn't find Moodle).

In no particular order:

@atridad did much of the work for Moodle, n8n, Owncast, and Uptime Kuma
@doodlemania2 did most of the packaging work for Pixelfed, Apache Guacamole, Owncast and Paperless.
@jimcavoli did most of the packaging work for Metabase, Grafana, Snipe-IT and Grav CMS
@thetomester13 did most of the packaging work for Firefly III, PrivateBin, Astral and RSS Bridge
@fbartels did most of the packagingwork for Statping
@ultraviolet did most of the packaging work for Vault, Trilium Notes and Apache Guacamole and bootstrapped Calibre Web
@msbt did most of the packaging work for TeamSpeak, YOURLS, Alltube Download, Bookstack, WBO Collaborative Whiteboard, helped with Matrix/Riot, and got Ampache started.
@syn did most of the packaging work for Mastodon
@Felix and @iamthefij did much of the heavy lifting for Bitwarden
@murgero did the initial ground work for Directus
@cve-random did the majority of the work for Jellyfin with the help of @mehdi
@mehdi also implemented OpenVPN, Transmission, SickChill and CouchPotato
@sumacinitiative helped out with LimeSurvey and SearX
@BrutalBirdie did most of the work for Greenlight
@erics packaged dolibarr
@eriktad packaged prometheus
@mario helped package docker-registry
@dswd packaged freshrss, gitea, syncthing
@jeau packaged OmekaS
@v_shnu packaged Chatwoot

I did a few other searches too and think I've likely got most of them now, but who is still missing?

Anyone?

atridad

Moodle over here. Hoping to learn and do more.

girish

This is a great thread Thanks @jdaviescoates. Off my head, you can also add the @cve-random who did jellyfin. Some apps like freshrss, gitea, syncthing were done by Dennis. He was dswd on the chat (probably one of our earliest ever users). Dennis, are lurking here by any chance? Then, @erics is doing dolibarr. Joey and @msbt helped with matrix/riot. I have to go through our app list to dig up the other names, I am surely forgetting few more.

marcusquinn

Good stuff - add your Paypal/Bitcoin/Gumroad links to your profiles people

girish

Ha, @mehdi, of course He helped with Jellyfin. And implemented our OpenVPN.

thetomester13

@jdaviescoates thanks for the shout out

girish

And @sumacinitiative did searx and limesurvey.

jdaviescoates

@girish @nebulon I wonder if we should add all of these existing app packagers to a new "packagers" or "published app" group or something so that when they post in the new help wanted/ offered category people will be able to see that they've already packaged an app?

malvim

This is a great thread, thank you @jdaviescoates for this. Also, I think your idea of tagging actual packagers is a neat one!

I've packaged a few things that are not public (just playing with stuff I've written myself), and got to "production-ready-enough-for-me" stage in a few other softwares heheh. Not sure if I'm the kind of person you're looking to hear from, but I'm here if needed heheh.

atridad

@jdaviescoates hahah “most” of the packaging work on Moodle might be a bit generous. Girish was the real hero.

@atrilahiji said in Who here has actually already packaged an app that is already in the Cloudron App store?:

I've edited to "much of the work"

That's not specifically what I started this thread for, but still good for people to know, thanks!

rmdes

Isn't there a way to add "app contributor" to one's profile ?
or maybe even roles in the Discourse forum features ? that or some kind of badges, anything that give contributors a distinction mark, I'm not sure Cloudron wants to go in that direction But I think it's good when the community can identify better who provides value to it ?

jdaviescoates

@rmdes yes, adding them to a group as I proposed above would do that. Nebulon and Girish have a 'Staff' badge because they are in the 'Staff' group.

girish

I could put them in a group but what is the expectation? To show case that they have packaged an app before? I have to look into NodeBB groups more closely but I don't want people tagging them as a group in posts saying "hey, @app-packagers can one of you step up" etc :-).

girish

I found https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15015/trying-to-understand-the-fundamental-purpose-of-groups/ . Maybe https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4397/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards-ns-awards-give-medals suits us better.

marcusquinn

@girish Groups are good for the tag next to your name on every comment or post. for Groups. Medals/Badges are also nice.

jdaviescoates

@girish said in Who here has actually already packaged an app that is already in the Cloudron App store?:

"hey, @app-packagers can one of you step up"

Yeah, I guess we might now want that. This is the only NodeBB forum I frequent. Is that actually a thing? Hey @staff does this tag you?!?

@marcusquinn said in Who here has actually already packaged an app that is already in the Cloudron App store?:

@girish Groups are good for the tag next to your name on every comment or post.

Yeah, my idea was simple so that "app packager" or similar would be displayed as a badge next to their name like staff is for you and Nebulon.

rmdes

tagging a group send a notifications to members of said group, my expectation of this badge/tag isn't to be used this way, more a recognition of their contribution, so perhaps the medal/badge is better approach

girish

Well, that award plugin does not work and has not been updated in 7-8 months as well. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4397/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards-ns-awards-give-medals/142 reported similar back trace.

I guess we can just use groups for now.

girish

Sorry, if this forum went up and down a bit. Everytime, I install a plugin, all sorts of random things happen I tried to add the group but some people's badges simply won't show up (@jimcavoli @mehdi and @BrutalBirdie specifically). I don't see any error at all.

atridad

@girish Weird... I do see mine. As for errors I get an error about fetching emoji metadata everytime I open the post editor.

girish

Yeah, I am seeing the same. I am also hitting https://community.nodebb.org/topic/14932/strange-thing-in-navigation-urls . Investigating.

girish

Hopefully, everything is OK now.

I just checked everyone linked to above and the only people missing their badges are @jimcavoli and @mehdi - @BrutalBirdie seems to have his badge now... I wonder what changed to make his work and why the other two still don't?!? Odd.

EDIT: perhaps it's something to do with this setting and they've either not seen or not responded to a group invite or something?

But, overall, this is great, thanks @girish!

mehdi

I am officially extremely jealous

mehdi

Oh, I just had to go to my profile settings and enable it ! I am officially not jealous anymore

Lonkle

I will be soon I hope. As far as credentials go now:

• 10 years of experience in Wordpress / WooCommerce
• 1 month of Cloudron experience.
• Packaged two apps for Cloudron, one will likely end up in the store. The other is for my personal use...unless I determine it has value for others; that’ll be in a different forum post I make asking later on though.
• Currently working on converting 4Minitz as @marcusquinn is sponsoring me to do so. I’ll also be working on 2 other apps he’s sponsored me for after 4Minitz is finished.
• I understand box and dockerode just in case the app being converted needs lower level (cloudron base code) changes - that @girish has helped me with and allowed me to contribute to in the development of my apps which I’m grateful for.

I personally can't pay for everything but happy to send a few dollars in thanks.

ultraviolet

cool, thanks all happy to do this in my spare time to give back to the community. Great to see us all working together to get some amazing apps out there, can't wait to see what the future has in store!

atridad

I imagine there are people like me that want to use Ghost's members feature. I did edit my theme to include a link to my ko-fi account for one-time donations.

jdaviescoates

@staff could we please have editing post options reverted to how they were before the recent update?

I want to edit the OP in this thread to keep updating it when new apps get packaged and released by the community, but can no longer edit old posts.

Thanks!

girish

@jdaviescoates I had made it 24 hours because people were going back and editing posts and putting in spam links. I made you a moderator in this category. Are you able to edit now?

jdaviescoates

@girish thanks!

Doesn't look like I can edit:

I've tried logging out and back in again, but same thing.

girish

@jdaviescoates Oh maybe the moderator permission is not recursive as I expected. Can you please try again?

It would be really nice if you could base this on reputation since that would solve the issue with no spam or time limit. I'm surprised their aren't rules like that. Should I make an upstream Github Feature Request, what do you think guys?

Not that making people with high reputations who have lists to continuously edit moderators manually doesn't work, that does too!

jdaviescoates

@girish works now, thanks!

jimcavoli

I finally got mine...weird though; I had to go into settings to turn it on. Forget where exactly, since I did that a couple days ago, but super appreciate the idea, love the thread, and happily continuing to package several more things (OpenSlides is complete, and I've resumed work on Zammad). Just for the sake of interesting trivia, I've also done a fully custom build that actually builds & deploys itself when a GH release is tagged on its repo, as well as a spike on a fully custom multi-protocol SSO tool (read IdP) intended for Cloudron-only deployment...more on that someday in the future if it lives on.

Definitely want to build the same deployment pipeline you have. And also, I look forward to hearing your SSO ideas in the future. ️
