How do I configure the mobile app to utilize my installation of language tool?

[girish]

@privsec I don't think they even have mobile apps - https://languagetool.org/services . Which one do you have installed?

[privsec]

@girish
I have installed the iOS version

[marcusquinn]

@privsec Top-left menu > Access Tokens > HTTP Endpoint might be the place. I have an Enterprise licence, so have that field pre-populated, but maybe if you aren't a subscriber that will be editable with the endpoint this Basic version in a Cloudron app provides.

Looks like you need a paid account to access the access tokens.

So then with this cloudron app, what purpose does it serve?

People are using it to add translation to Mastodon

@privsec the browser extensions on desktop allow you to change the endpoint to the free version.

[marcusquinn]

@privsec Their Basic endpoint has a character limit, this self-hosted version doesn't. Plus there's the privacy aspect, but mainly it's a way to use Languagetool on browsers without having that character limit on long inputs, like Webmail, Bloc Posts, other CMS long text edit fields.

Is there any form of authentication? Or can anyone use my server once I have the app installed?

[marcusquinn]

@necrevistonnezr No auth, just the URL for the self-hosted api endpoint.

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr it can be protected. That doc is missing, will add tomorrow.

Man am I lucky, in November I bought a 2-year subscription for it
Ack, the tool is really outstanding, I don't mind supporting the devs

[privsec]

So with the paid membership, I can change the mobile app to use the instance on my server?

[RazielKanos]

@privsec
no, as far as i understand it, paid service only work if you use their server.
It says for me "to use own servers you need to log out of your account

[scooke]

Another reason is to not give Google any more data. It is SOOOOO nice to use my own translation app! Plus, I use LanguageTool, too (on Yunohost)... all my data, all mine.

[privsec]

@RazielKanos
I have looged out and am on the mobile login screen.

I only see an option to create an account or to login or to reset the password

[marcusquinn]

@privsec Maybe one to ask their support about or log an issue in their GitHub repo. Let us know what you find.

@girish I would also be very interested in that. Have I overlooked the documentation?

[girish]

@johannesjom I am just working on it, hold on...

[girish]

@johannesjom documented at https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/languagetool/#security

Hey hey! That works!
