@marcusquinn said in Best privacy chat apps:

Who wants to be "targeted" and have others pay to directly target them with a calculation that makes it more probable to profit from that targeting?

As must as I hate any kind of privacy-invading workflows, I must confess that (specifically) targeted advertising doesn't really bother me much at all. The fact is those ads are going to be present in that spot on a webpage regardless of whether it's targeted or not. So why not at least show me relevant ads based on search keywords in the tool being used?

To me, the only time I get creeped out and think they've crossed a line for me at least is when they start getting overly sensitive to the ads (such as Facebook) where you're not just being targeted based on a couple of data points and instead you're being targeted based on like a 100+ different data points on data they ideally shouldn't even really have in the first place.

I think it's all a balancing act. Everyone's comfort level is a little different. Just my opinion anyways. But I totally hear ya on the "I have nothing to hide" point, those statements always irritate me when I hear them from people, shows they're completely missing the point when they say that, IMO.

@girish Ah okay that makes sense, because I saw after downloading and uploading the packages manually that the names were different. I think the package currently gets installed from GitHub, maybe that's an issue? If it gets installed from the WordPress Plugin Directory instead that may solve it in terms of the naming convention for the plugin. I think you're right, if the package was built with "authLdap" instead it'd have continued to work.

I had my authLDAP plugin set to auto-update in WordPress sites as a test a while back, today there was an update to it from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3. Ref: https://github.com/heiglandreas/authLdap/releases/tag/2.4.3

It was updated automatically by WordPress per the configuration I set, however logging in with LDAP credentials then failed for every site that the update occurred on.

I was thankful I could restore from backups, but that was an interesting situation since WordPress seems to auto-update within a minute of restoring from backup, so needed to go in and enable recovery mode immediately before it was auto-updated, downloaded the folder, then restarted the instance and removed authLDAP and re-uploaded from previous step. Wasn't hard at all but more than I expected. In the meantime I've disabled auto-update for authLDAP (though I'm not sure why this is needed, why the compatibility issue occurs).

@humptydumpty Ah well that's just too much work for me haha I was hoping there'd be a way to resize them when composing in the forum here which I'm used to with other similar editors. Wish NodeBB had that.

@jdaviescoates Anytime! Just wish I had a way to make those screenshots much smaller hahaha

For what it's worth, if this helps at all, I have always logged in with the default admin account but then set my LDAP user as a super admin, then logged out and logged back in as the LDAP user and as a super admin I removed the default admin account. That way I effectively replace the default admin account with my own LDAP user.

@jdaviescoates Ah sorry I didn't see this sooner. Yeah my customers definitely enjoy the reports. I send them out monthly though, not daily. Here's some notes if this helps at all

• Running Matomo server in Cloudron (of course, lol)
• Enabled tracking of a dozen+ WordPress websites using the plugin that @humptydumpty mentioned earlier (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-piwik/) with what appears to be the same settings too.
  ** I also enabled in that plugin to not count visits from sign-in admin users, I feel that keeps me from throwing off the analytic data a bit whenever I'm making a bunch of changes to the site where I'm needing to load up all the pages to check stuff in.
  ** I also enabled the 404 and Search Results tracking in the plugin too, which just makes it easier to tell 404 pages and such in the backend results in Matomo server as it highlights them better.
• I've got monthly reports setup from Matomo which go to the website owners on the first of each month. Here's a screenshot of what I'm sending them if this helps (some get more data if they request it but these are basically my default report styles):
  
  
  
• I have it set to send monthly reports, with a month report period, and via email using HTML instead of PDF. I can't recall why exactly I chose HTML, I think it was just easier for my clients when it was all in the email itself rather than as a PDF (it isn't like they're really filing them away where they need PDFs anyways), it looked nicer that way too and was more readable for them.
  
• I don't have any additional third-party plugins in Matomo, just using the base install.
• For the Geolocation setup, I've got it set with this one below, I found this one to be the most accurate for me and my clients:
  
• I've set the IP addresses of UptimeRobot (which I currently use to monitor my client websites and other services) to be excluded from the analytics. Though I heard this may not be necessary as they supposedly don't trigger the Javascript code from running, but I figured may as well be safe than sorry. UptimeRobot has a TXT file so it's super simple to add them all in with just a copy + paste.

Hope the above helps.

Found this today, which may be helpful to some before we switch over to v5: https://youtu.be/NgwCxIMry54

A quick note to say that Matomo 4.1.0 is out today (December 22, 2020), reference link is here: https://matomo.org/changelog/matomo-4-1-0/

@tamayers This would be nice to have, for sure.

For the most part though, the domain registrar will handle that part of forwarding a full domain to another if you use their own DNS servers, etc. I have done that for a couple of my own domains that I had registered a long time ago for 10 years, but no longer use them so wanted to just forward them to my current ones instead.

It would certainly be convenient for Cloudron admins if Cloudron did this too though. One example I can think of... I have two vanity URLs purchased by two different clients of mine where they want me hosting their email but for the website they want it going to their realtor agency website (for example) which is outside of my control, and would be convenient to set it all in the same space instead of a mix of domain registrar and Cloudron.

@saikarthik I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but based on @girish 's reply, it may be helpful if you're still struggling to provide us with the app you're needing to set an email name on, and the community here can try to help a bit on that.

@girish Side note: can we make the GUI show 12 apps instead of 10? When it's generally 3 or 4 columns, 10 just seems like an odd number to use for displaying the apps on that page. Hopefully that makes sense. Just a side thing though, no worries.

@humptydumpty You may also want to review this post that was already sort of on this topic earlier I created: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3837/deleting-rainloop-in-favour-of-roundcube-what-happens-to-the-filters/

@girish Yeah, totally fair on the unstable part. Interesting about the demo though. You're right, the way you went to view it it is indeed using v4. But if you go to https://demo.invoiceninja.com/#/ it's using v5. Odd.

@girish No their demo link is definitely v5, that's how I was able to confirm that my issue with Invoice Ninja and Safari was fixed in their v5 version. Unless they changed it back?

You are correct though - v5 isn't yet officially stable. Even their invoiceninja.org site shows v4 as the latest build still. However it sounds like they're real close, so maybe not a bad idea to package it still for those early adopters? No worries if not though, it should be stable soon enough from their email that went out a month or so ago.

@lonk Yeah I figured we had the same issue but apparently not, my bad. Didn't mean to hijack the thread earlier. haha. Mine was actually caused by v6.0 due to a breaking change in how SFTP works - by default for admins only, meaning any non-admin users are rejected out of the box. But I think yours was different as you filed it before v6.0.

@girish Ah perfect, yes that and Baikal were one of the ones I was wanting to package someday, so that's great then.

@mehdi said in :

Then install radicale, which is a minimalist dav server

@jdaviescoates beat me to it, haha. I was already thinking up a response as I ready through this conversation. So to lay down some of my concerns with "just use Radicale"...

Minimalist yes, but not completely compliant (they even state that they refuse to support the full spec), and Radicale as a project has no intention of really embracing the full spec, simply aiming to be the "most basic" one available. That's not really a great long-term growth server to be running in that case, IMO.

Additionally, Radicale has issues (mind you all software does), I've made posts about in the Radicale category too. From the looks of that group though I may be one of just a few who actually use it, haha.

There are some limitations to Radicale, so while yes it may serve most people's needs - it's far from perfect and as a heavy user of CalDAV and CardDAV myself, Radicale isn't that great. It's just the easiest for me at the moment so I continue to use it, but I've looked at possibly trying to learn how to package an app by trying something like Baikal or something more performant and better aligning to the specs.

I for one would love to see Cloudron do it, though I also wonder if it's a better use of their time on other projects when we can simply bundle some better CalDAV / CardDAV server apps instead. But hey I'm all for more options so if they want to do it then - as a heavy user of those protocols - I say go for it!

@girish Ah okay, yeah that makes sense. FWIW, I'd suggest that any "breaking changes" like that though still be mentioned on the release notes that you see before manually updating Cloudron, but I realize that still may not be too helpful because most will just auto-update anyways. haha. A little bit of a predicament there I guess. All good, I just appreciate the really quick response!

@tubelubs Here's the correct URL, looks like the old URL will need to be updated by the Cloudron team.
