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

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).

Hey,
I wonder if a self-hosted Ghost blog can be fully operated from my own server (if I do not embed third-party content like YouTube Videos)?

Ghost relies – like many websites – on some scripts like jquery which are delivered through a CDN. You can copy those scripts to your server. At least this is what this blog post (in German) states. I'm not into the details, but could it be possible to integrate that in the self-hosted version of Ghost that comes with Cloudron?

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).

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

Since the latest update to Etherpad Lite, the admin login won't work properly.

As mentioned here, the cloudron credentials of users are not recognized by domain-of-pad.tld/admin

I've got the

"username": {
  "is_admin": true

in the setting.json, but I can't login with the users' credentials.

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?

I would also like to see Canvas LMS in cloudron

...story continues:

As with the latest update (from etherpad 4.1.0 to 4.1.1.), I can't login via '/admin-auth' as mentioned earlier. Instead, I get this error:

RPError: outgoing request timed out after 3500ms

The pad itself runs as usual.

The minimal version is provided by netcup as image for a fresh server. I'll try to install Ubuntu server. (not minimal)
