Foundry Virtual Tabletop

[TheMeerkat]

Foundry is a FOSS, self-hosted virtual tabletop.

It has community Docker images.

I have a license for it, and I would love to be able to simply install it on Cloudron.

@TheMeerkat I would love to see this as well. I have several games I play with my friends and right now I setup VMs for them. Would be much better if we could get it in a docker container in cloudron.

@TheMeerkat I'd like to see this, but can the server itself be hosted for free or does it also require a license?

[cilleyperson]

@murgero it requires a license for you to run the server. I think it costs about $50.

[cilleyperson]

@cilleyperson that being said, given that cloudron has an app image for confluence, hopefully the license part isn’t a sticking point.

I don't like the idea of including or increasing the number of non-Free applications which Cloudron supports. If any applications are non-Free, I think there ought to be a flag.

@LoudLemur I'm not sure I agree.

Cloudron isn't free software itself, and many of us are using this to support business applications. I already pay for two cloudron premium licenses, and this would allow me not to need to use non-Cloudron based VMs to host this software. The level of community interest, not price, should dictate whether or not time and effort is put into creating a community image for the server software.

I suppose if needed I could use the Cloudron Build Service application to roll my own Foundry server docker image for the platform, but why not make it available to everyone if there is interest?

I do think there should be a flag in the app store that indicates whether or not the software requires a paid license or not. That way people will know if there is an additional cost to running the server in addition to what they are already paying for Cloudron.

@cilleyperson We already have apps that need licenses like confluence, teamspeak, onlyoffice enterprise etc. It's fine to have non-free apps.

This is a super neat software. I got a license for it too. Much cheaper than recurring roll20 subscriptions.

this peeked my interest since I am also a DSA player.
