Mixpost

[humptydumpty]

I signed up for a Pro Team license and sent the developer (Dima) a message about Cloudron. He said he's thinking of adding Mixpost to the CR appstore! No ETA (didn't ask) but that's still good news nonetheless.

@humptydumpty you've just reminded me he was going to knock up a demo for me to play with! But then I never went back to the Discord chat where he said that... whoops

I just asked about that too and he said:

I plan to adapt Mixpost for Cloudron. But after I launch Pro Team. Because I want to succeed with what I promised. Then I will take care of Cloudron and other requirements.

Sounds good to me!

[humptydumpty]

@jdaviescoates That's awesome. Thanks for following up with him. Did you get to try the demo?

Yes, I did! I think I'm sold.

Gonna play a bit more but I think I'll also buy the Pro Team lifetime deal.

It's officially on the roadmap!

@jdaviescoates Feel free to ask the devs to join here and we can help out.

[jdaviescoates]

@girish I think they likely will when they get to it. Their plan is to deliver what they've already promised, i.e. from the pricing page on their website:

We expected to launch Mixpost PRO in a couple of months (Mixpost PRO Team by the end of Q1, 2023, and Mixpost PRO SaaS by the end of Q2, 2023).

And then work on a Cloudron app. So it won't be for a while.

But they are already aware of this thread and I've pointed them to the pinned app packaging post too

[humptydumpty]

I got a message from Dima yesterday. The alpha version of Mixpost Pro Team is out. Laravel installation instructions are here.

[humptydumpty]

There's a doc page about installing Mixpost on/with/via(?) docker: https://docs.inovector.com/books/mixpost-pro-team/page/using-docker-image

How complicated is packaging this app?

Mixpost Pro Team is out.

I'm gutted I missed the "pro for life" Early Adopter deal

Oh, and the Early Adopter of the SaaS deal has gone up in price significantly too

[humptydumpty]

@jdaviescoates I thought you were going to snatch a license after playing with the demo. What happened?

[jdaviescoates]

@humptydumpty yeah, I was, but it just slipped through the net. I've been both busy and ill quite a lot recently

[humptydumpty]

@jdaviescoates You should email Dima about it. You were in direct comms with him during the offer period on discord and on the roadmap site offering suggestions. I doubt he'll refuse your request. I hope you're feeling better!

[humptydumpty]

@girish I contacted Dima regarding the Pro Team packaging and he said that would require a separate package than the lite because he's unsure what Cloudron's policy is regarding paid software. Is it an issue to have a paid-only app in the CR appstore?

Quoting Dima just in case I misunderstood him:

Hi, I'll need to create separate Cloudron support for Mixpost Pro. But I still don't know their policy regarding paid software, for this reason, I didn't include it on the Mixpost Pro roadmap list.

Hi everyone!

I am the creator of Mixpost. Nice to see this discussion here.

Mixpost Lite and Pro have been released and I'm ready to have a discussion about listing these apps in the Cloudron Store.

@girish What are the steps and conditions necessary to list the applications on the Cloudron store?

[Kubernetes]

Hi @lao9s Usually to list it in the Cloudron Store it's just needed to create an App Package that is adjusted to the Cloudron System. Here is the Documentation/Tutorial

The main work here is to install Mixpost to a new Docker Image which is based on the official Cloudron Docker Image. There are some special requirements because of this, eg. only /tmp /run and /app/data is writable for the App.

[girish]

@lao9s Welcome here!

Is the Lite edition upgradable to Pro with a key? Or alternately, can the Pro start up as Lite without a key and go from there? For our packages, it would be best if the package does something without a key. Otherwise, it's hard to test updates (if the UI just show anything without a key).

That would be the ideal instead of having two separate packages to test. We have many non-free apps, so it's not a problem. Like confluence, ctfreak, minecraft, valheim, n8n, onlyoffice ee, to name a few.

[girish]

@lao9s BTW, the app looks great. Did I understand correctly that this is an alternative to the likes of Buffer/Hoostuite ? We used to use Buffer back in the day . Something selfhosted is sorely lacking in this market!

It is great! I played with a demo a while back and I'm gutted I missed the lifetime pro deals (I really meant to purchase it but never got around to it)
