There is an app that can currently be run locally to allow for management of any Matrix/Synapse instances and allows you to do some basic user/room management in an easy to use UI. I have linked the docker and github pages below. I have been able to successfully run this locally and manage any/all of my Matrix instances (Cloudron or otherwise) but it would be nice to have this packaged as an app for access via Cloudron.
Code: https://sr.ht/~cadence/bibliogram/
Docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/cloudrac3r/bibliogram
Like Invidious (YouTube) and Nitter (Twitter) this provides a front end to view Instagram without the tracking. I think providing these services is important and would like to see these added to Cloudron.
@girish Does this help? I am sorry I am not as technical as some others in here but this "playbook" seems to have basically all the things. Most importantly (in my case) the bridges, with links to everything.
Maybe this would help you all see how it works and maybe provide a more "complete" Matrix instance for us to use.
@girish While it seems everyone is on the same page already that all this would be great just as an addition the previously linked playbook (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy) now also includes a really nice looking moderation tool (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy) which is also sorely needed in our Matrix instances.
Still hoping we can make something happen 
Wow, just tried this out myself and it is truly amazing. Would be awesome to have on Cloudron.

Way to share files quickly and easily on local networks. From what I can tell the server is needed to initiate the connection but it is p2p and from my testing works well. I would like to run it through Cloudron though.
It is a pretty cool way to share files locally similar to airdrop and all it takes is web address to navigate to, no apps needed. I know we have Jirafeau (which I use) but this simplifies the process of quick sharing even further.
As I have mentioned before I am not hyper technical when it comes to development and whatnot so just let me know if it isn't feasible.
That being said... With N8N being added I was curious if there were any plans for Cloudron to tie into it. As I'm sure you have all seen there are plenty of things that Cloudron has as an app that it already ties into but nothing in the way of Cloudron itself (unless I am missing something obvious). For instance it would be cool if everytime a backup or update happened (or was available) I could pull that from Cloudron via N8N and then make a workflow to dump that into Matrix or something.
It just seems like there could be a lot of missed opportunities here. Or I am just missing something myself haha...
@girish Just to make sure we are all on the same page that is the point of Invidious. I don't see it as something that competes with PeerTube in anyway but is still necessary. I think being able to provide a way for users to access YouTube content without using YouTube directly is important.
Is there still not a reason for this and similar projects like Invidious (YouTube) and Bibliogram (Instagram) and Libreddit (Reddit) to be on Cloudron?
I think being able to provide frontends like these are important.
@jdaviescoates Yeah I did actually look into that before my post and I don't know if I am just missing some pieces (of understanding) or what but it didn't look like I could do what I mentioned above. And either way it would still be cool if they were actually in there as a part of the n8n ecosystem as opposed to manually adding their APIs in.
Of course I know work goes into that but since they added n8n I was kinda hoping one of the cloudron devs had already thought along the same lines as me before I run up a wall failing to do it in an elegant way myself 
@ei8fdb did you get it working? I have had that port open since installation (I also self host) but mine has no audio or video either. Similar problem I have to audio calls through matrix... It all works fine on the same network but not if devices are on different networks and as far as I can tell the logs show everything working fine.
Thank you both! @girish @nebulon
I wasn't hitting an issue I was just being proactive, it does work as expected. @girish it definitely might be useful to have a section of that cron menu that at least displays cron jobs already running for any given package. I don't know though, only time I've ran into trying this out.
Thanks again.
Any help with setting up a cron job for firefly would be appreciated. I am trying to follow this: https://docs.firefly-iii.org/firefly-iii/advanced-installation/cron/ but need some help with the paths needed as described in the docs. Shown below:
The content of the cron job must be as follows:
# cron job for Firefly III
0 3 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/artisan firefly-iii:cron
You must make sure to verify /usr/bin/php with your path to PHP and replace /var/www/html/ with the path to your Firefly III installation.
If you do this, Firefly III will generate the recurring transactions each night at 3AM.
@loudlemur But they are actively doing things and so they might take that as a suggestion. I don't see anything relating to that on the github as of yet. But they are currently working on a way to have what are essentially groupings via rooms instead of just devices so that they can allow use cases where local isn't possible. This would allow it to be used via mobile data and with friends not on your network, etc. So they have lots of cool things lined up, the idea for sending a file to multiple devices all at once probably fits right in.
@loudlemur Sadly, no. It is a 1:1 deal. So all devices would show up easily enough (I've tested around 8 at once myself. But you don't get a prompt to select your file until you select the device you are passing it to. It would still be quick but you would need to select each device then select the file each time.
@loudlemur Glad you like it! It's been super useful to me as a way to very very quickly drop files and messages (for links mostly) between devices in a seamless way. I'm currently running my own version it on my local network but I'd love to see it hit Cloudron so I can manage it here as well.
@LoudLemur @robi Nope this is different. I tried to highlight the difference but I guess it was missed. All current solutions on Cloudron require uploading a file and sending a link for someone to get that file. This has its usecase sure (I use Jirafeau instead of file pizza) but this is different as it allows any two devices on the same network to detect eachother and pass messages (for sharing sites or whatever) and files back and forth without ever having to send a link somewhere.
Try it out here if it still isn't clear. https://snapdrop.net/
Just open that site on two different devices on the same network.

So I know we have a lot of conversation around getting Matrix extended through Cloudron (https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4495/enable-extra-ports-in-matrix-app/1 & https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3150/expand-matrix-app-features/12) but I am wondering if as a first step in that direction we can get Maubot up and running somehow. Making this work would be way beyond my abilities but maybe someone can figure it out?
Git: https://github.com/maubot/maubot
Docker Instructions: https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/setup/docker.html
Random article that might help: https://www.tmplab.org/2020/04/01/how-to-install-and-run-bots-for-the-matrix-network/
Basically this would allow us to use the Maubot system to get and even create our own bots within our instances. So for instance to get a reminder bot in my room(s) instead of inviting something like @reminder:t2bot.io to my room (which does work) I can instead grab the plugin from https://github.com/maubot/reminder and then upload it to my Maubot instance on Cloudron and then create a bot like @reminder:mymatrixinstance.com and have full control over that bot.
Of course it then allows all of us to use that Maubot system to build our own bots as well from scratch. So I think this might be a good first step in extending Matrix.
@yusf As you seem to be the one wanting Matrix extended as much as me do you have any thoughts or attempts at this yourself?
@girish I'll give it a shot, anytime I've tried packaging things before I always meet failure haha. We'll see if this one is easier maybe.
