Cloudron Forum

I've updated my ubuntu 22.04 (I guess) server to 9.0.12 – and migrated it to a new machine (ubuntu 24.04) running 9.0.12. Everything (only ten apps; four users) went smoothly and well.

Title: [Docker-Obsidian] on Cloudron

I came across this on Appaddict.app

• Main Page: https://obsdian.md and/or https://www.linuxserver.io
• Git: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-obsidian
• Licence: GNU General Public License v3.0
• Docker: Yes (?)

• Summary: Obsidian is the go-to app for doing Personal Knowledge Management based on linked markdown files. (imho.)

• Notes: All the people who want to use Obsidian at work but are prohibited from installing anything could surely find use in this. Additionally, folks with one of those big ass iPad Pros can now use the desktop version of Obsidian and the plugins that don't work on iOS. Any time you don't have access to your own device, you can jump on anything with a web connection to access your data. (Source)

Please see this post as an initial question whether this would be possible to support on Cloudron. To be honest, I have no clue what constraints might appear or if it is even allowed (due to the license of Obsidian itself).

I'd like to display information like:

• "Look, here's that one new shiny app you can use for XY" or
• "If you have questions, please consider contacting your admin on mail@admin" or even
• "hey, we have to restart our server. downtime will be tomorrow at hh:mm"

+1 from me; a more recent blog post by the dev suggests that there's progress for self-hosting omnivore: https://blog.omnivore.app/p/deploying-a-minimal-self-hosted-omnivore

Hey,

I thought it would be great if we could have at least one Markdown-Section in the Dashboard. E.g. one could place short messages, announcements or other important information for users. In the footer, we can already use markdown. But I think it might be very helpful for admins, to put some text more "in ya face".

Here's a quick mockup, how this cloud look:

The textbox could go either on the very top, the very bottom – which might be more easily implemented. Or – as shown in this example – somewhere in between. Then it must be specified which apps go above and which below.
Editing could be similar to navigating the settings of an app: a small gear-icon in the top right corner of the textbox. Also, you could set visibiliy according to groups of users.

This could function as some sorting or customizing the dashboard which was suggested here but never gained more detailed attention.

In the interim, I underwent the business evaluation process at Mailguns. The support staff was amiable, and my blogs received positive feedback. Due to a limitation of nine emails per transmission, I was required to send newsletters in smaller batches.

I’m hoping to get some support for this feature on Cloudron soon. I’d love to use fediverse support on my Ghost-powered websites. I think it might be possible to have multiple Ghost instances running on the same server, but I’m not sure if there are any potential issues with that.

Hey,

I noteiced that after updating Rallly to v3.0 the pro features are missing. According to the developer, they should be available with the self hosted version. He stated, that cloudron might use an older package?

Can you confirm that, @nebulon?

Great. Everything works fine now.

Hey,

I know this tool is more of a niche tool. But it can be extremely helpful in the field of (university) teaching: Recogito Studio allows multiple users to read a text or view an image and annotate (highlight and comment on) parts of it. These annotations can be commented on by other users, creating a shared reading experience which may be crucial for understanding articles or completing reading assignments.

I think it would be great if the tool were also available via Cloudron. Here is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/recogito/recogito-studio

I'm happily running 9.0.12 by now.

One thing keeps my annoyed: If you're in the app store and have opened a detail pane from one of the apps: on closing the infoe pane, the app store scrolls to the very top of the app list.

All right, these are my impressions of Recogito Studio after the software demo:

The software seems very mature. For users, there are:

• the possibility to reply to comments
• Comments can be private, read-only or only visible to certain groups
• You can create reading assignments and link them to documents
• Not only texts, but also images can be annotated
• annotations can be exported as CSV (PDF export is in the making)
• annotations can contain rich media (e.g. embedded youtube videos or images)

For admins:

• can define different roles (instructors, students)
• Login is possible via SAML
• The software is GDPR-compliant

in this short video, you can see how the software works:

I pointed the team to this very thread, maybe someone of the developers might join this discussion. Again, I'd be very glad if we had Recogito Studio available on Cloudron.

I would also be interested in how to use clamav for nextcloud. is there some sort of anti virus pre-packaged?

Hey,

I wonder if I could ditch Zoom/MS Teams from a small team environment and set up our own video conferencing solution (aka Mirotalk SFU).

Are there any suggestions or experiences on system requirements for Miro SFU for meetings with more than, let's say, 10 people?

And: is it possible to change settings for ALL attendees at once (e.g. who is pinned, the theme/language), in short: I'd like to have some moderation features, which I cannot find (or could not, yet).

Thanks for your suggestion. I'd rather go with the one-app-per-folder/domain solution. lamp and apache stuff seems to nerdy/advanced for me (at least at this point in my journey towards being responsible for a webserver).

Hey,

first and foremost: This is neither a rant nor a complaint. I'm happy with my new VPS and domains at netcup...

The cloudron docs say, that DNS propagation on netcup is slow. I can confirm that since every install takes a few minutes while configuring DNS.

Can sombody explain to me, why this is like it is? I've got no experience in all the technical stuff behind domain registration. I'd just like to understand what's going on there.

thanks in advance!

+1 for Socioboard. It would be great to have a service lice Hootsuite, Buffer etc. on my own server.

Hello all,
I am currently experimenting with Cloudron and am considering switching from my managed hosting to a server with Cloudron.

Is there any way to have a domain point directly to a directory (e.g. in the surfer app)? On my current webspace I have static HTML files in some folders, which are a very simple web page. The domain simply points to the corresponding directory on my webspace. Is there something like that in Cloudron too?

Hi,
I will soon have to give up access to my employer’s Exchange account, but I will continue working with many of the same contacts (volunteer work, etc.). In many cases, it’s common practice in these organizations to send calendar invitations via Exchange in order to coordinate meetings.

How can I best replicate this setup using Cloudron? I have one primary mailbox set up, but I’d like to use different email aliases for various partner organizations. In Nextcloud, I can only enter one email address (the primary one). Might SOGo be better suited for my needs?

I’d like to make sure that as little as possible changes for my contacts (ideally, only the email address): when I receive a calendar invitation, I want to be able to simply accept it and appear as a participant.

I would also like to see Canvas LMS in cloudron
