Finally found an open source social media management app.
Here's hoping it works.

@bubonicfred great find!

[micmc]

Yes, that seems to be a very great find and I even wonder why this hasn't catch up more than that.
I mean, every business needs to use social media to a minimum for some exposure to your products and services, a place for your tribe and crowds gathering, creating powerful trust in potential client knowing there's a 'public' place where they can reach you in case of need.

Frankly, it's the first time I see a FOSS in this 'department', meaning social media management software and app. Let alone with such advanced development (as it seems from the outside) with many features found only in some of the most expensive (monthly / yearly fee) SaaS in SMM market online.

Plus, with social media marketing, AND with integrated CRM, AND with content studio, content discovery and automated content posts scheduling and much more...

I mean, we'd all a bargain as a powerful digital marketing tool here, but also and new extremely attention drawing addition to the Cloudron offer that will make it even more irresistible and a pure "must-have".

I put a MEGA vote on that one!

+1 On This!

Wow!!!! +1

This looks like it could be installed in our LAMP App, anyone try it?

[timconsidine]

@robi : sure looks good but install instructions are long-winded. But it's nice they are step-by-step. Maybe I have short attention span this evening and will try again later.

[timconsidine]

@robi : I relented and tried to install V5 api version in a container (not Cloudron) to see how it works before trying to do it in Cloudron.
Their documentation is sloppy with couple of typos on commands.
Can't be bothered to correct it all now.

But app looks nice in principle.

[robi]

@timconsidine breaking it up into stages can help.

[scooke]

@robi Did someone say LAMP??!!

[timconsidine]

@scooke there is a 'web-php' folder
but they seem to be focussing on the 'api' branch.

They seem to have a number of abandoned projects like this.
And code typo's ('publish' instead of 'Publish', other typos)
I can't see how it worked even on their own dev machines.

If someone wants to fix it all, that would be an awesome public service.
But I'm waiting for them to abandon V5 again.

Can't wait for LEMP and others..

[scooke]

@robi Sorry, I saw Node and Mongodb... and tiptoed away.

[scooke]

@timconsidine The instructions for both 4 and 5 look like an installation needs both the PHP and the Node/MongoDB sides installed. Oh well.

for LEMP or this Apps requirements?

LEMP is a big improvement on LAMP mainly because of Engine X (nginx) instead of Apache.

One can also replace MySQL with MariaDB. In most cases SQLite is adequate.

Not a fan of Mongo, there are much better options.

[humptydumpty]

Any updates on this?

Oops, didn't mean to "reply" to you, Robi. Just asking in general.

[samsls]

+1 please

@robi I seems to be built with only about 5% php, it's mainly built in JavaScript.

I doubt very much this would install and run on LAMP nor even on LEMP, the installation is done through CLI and requires to install Node, Npm, PM2, Nodemon, MySQL, and MongoDB.

I believe that should be ported to docker first, before it could be installed on Cloudron.
