@girish That would be completely and totally awesome as that's really the only thing holding me back from migrating n8n to Cloudron... thanks for taking a look!

Would really, really love this addition.

Any progress or additional thoughts on allowing users to install their own npm packages, @girish?

Thanks,
AJ

Just to let anyone else know, I ran into the same issue with 7.2.0 when migrating servers and made the change that @girish mentioned and it still didn't work until I restarted docker (systemctl restart docker) and then it worked!

This would be an awesome addition to Cloudron. I've tried self-hosting Calendso and, for whatever reason, it's a pain. I have n8n running (not through Cloudron as I wanted external db access) and it's no problem. Until then, I'm glad I have my tidycal.com LTD through AppSumo LOL.

I currently have n8n running on a separate server and would like to consolidate it to Cloudron especially since it's calling other apps on Cloudron (like Miniflux). However, there are a few packages that I currently use that I don't see in the currently repository that would prohibit me from migrating. Below is a list of packages (sorry it's long) of packages that aren't on Cloudron and I either currently use them, working on developing them, or plan to use them in the near future. I noticed "@azure" was listed as a package, but I wanted to make sure that all the azure packages are included.

One thing that I don't know if it would ever be possible on Cloudron is if it will be able to do browser automation via n8n. That's something I really want to do so I can really get away from third party services and automate a BUNCH of stuff.

Anyway, here's the list... let me know your thoughts:

@girish I have and actually don't use Miniflux as a RSS Reader, but for an RSS content aggregation source. They have an awesome API and I use n8n to read from Miniflux to get new content from various categories of feeds, get the article of the website & clean the HTML, then I send a portion of the article to be posted to WordPress with a link the the original source, and then make a call to Miniflux's API to mark those items as read.

Personally, while I've tried Fresh RSS and many other self hosted readers, I stick with Inoreader because it's just so much better and more powerful (I use it as a means to generate new posts to share on social media).

I can't use the same RSS Reader for my personal reading and content aggregator as it would lose track of what's read, etc.

I know FreshRSS has a Fever API, but didn't notice it until after I built everything and honestly FreshRSS is a bit overkill resource wise. What's also nice about Miniflux is that you can provide a proxy URL in case some websites don't like my IP.

Anyways, that's my use case. Personally, hosting it isnt too much of a pain but I absolutely hate managing PostgresSQL so I have a managed instance.. which costs more. Thus is why having it all managed in Cloudron would be ideal and save me money and any hassles.

Definitely excited about this possibility!

@girish & @mehdi - thanks for your advice! It gave me the idea to Tailscale. I installed it on the Cloudron server and was able to successfully mount a shared folder from my Synology using cifs. However, even though the data persists between reboots, I don't see the data on the Synology, even when I'm logged in as the root user. I'm not quite the linux expert, but I noticed that when I changed Nextcloud's appdata folder to point to the mount, it created it as a "root" user. On the Synology, I created a Cloudron user that has the necessary permissions and I mounted the shared folder with the Cloudron user, password, and domain. So, I'm thinking this has something to do with user IDs not matching up or something like that.

I'm nervous about moving forward since I can't actually see the data on my Synology. Would you or anyone else have any advice?

By the way, this is how I mounted it:
sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/etc/nas-credentials,vers=3.0 //nas/Cloudron /mnt/nas

In fstab, the command is:
//nas/Cloudron cifs -o credentials=/etc/nas-credentials,vers=3.0,_netdev,auto 0 0

Thanks for all your help!

I'll have to take a look at those alternatives, Cal.com was the first open-source one I found and had up and running to test out and found it pretty awesome and could replace a WordPress plugin. The biggest downside to it that I found was that it's customization is limited. As an example, if I wanted to change the colors, I'd have to create a theme and open source it, etc... kind of a hassle. However, the dark mode was acceptable for my needs and it had webhooks, etc which means integrations are limited to your imagination. Until then, I'm using TidyCal that I bought from AppSumo as a LTD that works pretty well for being what it is.

I've built something similar for my site, but ended up just purchasing WP Webhooks and it made my life so much easier. It's definitely worth the $100 IMO.

Just to let anyone else know, I ran into the same issue with 7.2.0 when migrating servers and made the change that @girish mentioned and it still didn't work until I restarted docker (systemctl restart docker) and then it worked!

I was going to reply to the original post, but the forum suggested I create a new post instead. I would really, really love to see Miniflux in Cloudron's ecosystem as it would save me from managing another server.

Additionally, because of the lack of Miniflux, I've began looking into Cloudron alternatives like YunoHost, which does offer that and a plethora of other apps. I'm not sure how nice it is and I definitely like Cloudron, so it would be great to have it as part of their ecosystem.

I would like to have database access which can be quite limited in Cloudron, so I'll make another feature app request for something like phpMyAdmin or Adminer.

Would really, really love this addition.
