I'm not sure if a MariaDB can sync with mysql but we could try.

Can't I just create a mysql database in the grafana once it is setup in cloundron?

I want to install and use Grafana and set up a MariaDB to use for reporting. The MariaDB would be connected to our main server which is hosted at another provider. Is it possible and practical to install the Grafana app then add one or more MariaDB to the app so we can have mirrors from our main database to use for reporting?

@ccfu How do you disable the LDAP module?

With the release of .NET 8 a few days ago, I've been renewing my interest in using it. I would not add it to LAMP but instead create another variant of LAMP with .NET added. You could remove PHP. I'm not sure there is an acronym for it though. A quick reddit search found most are setting up "Linux, Kestrel, PostgreSQL/SQL Server, ASPNet Core"

Personally I would use Linux, Kestrel, MariaDB/MySQL, and ASPNET Core instead of Postgre but Postgre has been getting more and more. popular thanks to Supabase

I would love to see this happen if possible for Cloundron. There may be existing containers you can use for the .NET 8 for Linux.

@girish "database" tag would include baserow and nocodb, in nocodb it has "nocode" without the dash for a tag.

@nebulon What category on the https://www.cloudron.io/store/index.html# page is Baserow and related NocoDB on? I think that page is missing a category because I don't see either of those apps listed in the existing categories.

I searched but did not see a link with $100 credit for new DigitalOcean accounts. Is there one from Cloudron (giving Cloudron credit for referral)?

This was working earlier but now the Download and even Rename options are disabled for any file or folder in any app.

What would make Rename or Download option disabled in the File Manager?

@jdaviescoates What software/tools did you choose for your group management setup?

• Blog
• Chat
• Forum
• Email
• Wiki
• CMS (if different than blog)
• Doc (if different than doc management)

My list at the moment is

• Ghost (cms/blog)
• Discourse (forum)
• Discord for community (or Rocket.chat for intranet)
• Wiki.js

Only wiki.js allows LDAP

I skipped opting for SSO when installing apps. According to the Cloudron Docs in Users & Groups section you need to select SSO at the time of app installation.

Assuming an app support LDAP. Is it possible to add LDAP support (Cloudron SSO) to an app after it is installed?

Is there a list of what apps support LDAP?

I know Ghost does not, but Discourse does. What about Wiki.js or Ackee?

@jdaviescoates Cloudron security sounds very well thought out and just what I need. I will continue to read and try to understand how to implement.

Does anyone know if Ghost support LDAP or is there a work around so Ghost will use Cloudron user auth?

@jdaviescoates I will read up on cloudron auth.

regardless Ghost is almost "locked down" for external auth. I don't know why but all of my research the past few days show the request for oAuth going back to before v1 and in v4.7 (as of today) they still don't support it fully or even officially. It's stupid.

They SHOULD turn their amazing blog engine into a full CMS with robust authentication, isolating auth so you can use it however you need. I read up on running Ghost as a "HEADLESS CMS" but that's not what I want it for, doing so requires you to handle all the front end and theming. To me that defeats the purpose of Ghost. But I'm still just beginning to understand Ghost and the other apps so maybe I will find a way.

@jdaviescoates That's a good reason but more so I don't like the idea of sharing the authentication that controls the server or access to the server with any apps or a website's userbase.

@jdaviescoates I'd much rather have a User Registration App as you described that using LDAP or even touching the user auth for cloudron itself.

Is there an existing solution (app) or even just codebase that would allow you to handle the authentication/membership for other apps?

I am trying to build a community website and want to use Ghost for blog, Discourse as forum, wiki.js, and shopify for the store.

Ghost has plugin to allow Discourse to handle comments but I believe it still requires separate authentication.

Ghost has an odd setup for authentication as it has "members" which are email subscribers (customers) and another set of members they call Staff which are more like traditional users which can be authors/editors/admin.

To make the community work really well and flow. I would like to have one user/member database that handles authentication between the various apps. Thanks to how Cloudron works I can access the mysql database for Ghost from the other apps like Discourse and Wiki.js. However it would still require some coding to make it all work together smoothly.

So far it doesn't seem like Ghost has robust oAuth support, it is still considered "alpha" and in the experimental areas of the admin UI.

Right now I'm just trying to make them all work nicely together. So if you know of an existing solution or know of someones git or github project please let me know.

@girish the example command did the trick! I was not using the correct syntax but also I didn't specify the database name. Once I did that I was able to reach the Ghost mysql database from the Discourse app
