I am a Physician and a Medical Informaticist.
I am also into Medical Education, work at a University.

What I am not is a software engineer or system administrator.
This is exactly why Cloudron is nothing less than magic for me.

Thanks @nebulon and @girish for such a fantastic software.

I was on sandstorm earlier and came to cloudron very early on.

Cloudron has empowered me to run a dozen or so apps without a fuss. Customer support (hands on by the founders) is the single greatest and top feature of cloudron.

One of the best replacement for Google Photos and generally a great photo gallery software is PiGallery2.
OpenSource, Docker-based, Fast and minimalistic

The gallery is a directory first gallery. It renders your directory structure as it is. Creates thumbnails on the fly. Can be run without any database but support sqlite and MySQL databases too.
Features:
Photo viewer
Nice photo viewer with optional information panel that shows all important information about the photo.
Map
PiGallery2 reads the location data of the photos and puts them on a nice map. The gallery also supports *.gps file to show your tracked path on the map too. It by default supports OpenStreetMap and Mapbox, but you can also add you own favourite map provider.
Advanced searching
App supports full boolean logic with negation and exact or wildcard search. It also provides handy suggestions with autocomplete.
Sharing
You can share your photo folders with your friends. The sharing link can be also password protected.
Video playback
It also supports *.mp4, *.webm, *.ogv and *.ogg files.

I am actually going to propose uptime-kuma as an app for cloudron. Its brand new.
Please check it out. https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma
Perhaps you can help package it please? It has a docker version.

In Cloudron, each app has the same set of tabs:
Display
Location
Access Control
Resources
Storage
Graphs
Security
Email
Updates
Backups
Repair
Uninstall

I wish that there were Universal Pages that have all the apps (with tags based filtering) with corresponding status information, and also, if possible switches/toggles, etc.
E.g.
Universal Automatic Updates Page
Where, all the apps are on one column and corresponding automatic updates status in the second column and 'Enable/Disable Automatic Updates' button is on the third column.
At one glance, we could discern which of our apps are on automatic updates, which ones are not - and toggle their settings.

A birds eye view of all the apps, if you please.
Right now, I have to go into the settings of each app separately to look at their settings.

@atrilahiji You bet!
Moodle has a lot of features, but canvas is easier for students and teachers to navigate and use.

@girish Fantastic, just in time!

Cloudron is a gift that keeps on giving.

Uptime Kuma is a new tool for uptime monitoring.

The version 1.0.0 is out - it may not be mature for primetime, but worth a look.

Features
Monitoring uptime for HTTP(s) / TCP / Ping.
Fancy, Reactive, Fast UI/UX.
Notifications via Webhook, Telegram, Discord and email (SMTP).
20 seconds interval.

@atridad Wow that was quick!
This community is fantastic.

@atridad My bad. Meant to post it to the App Wishlist.

Hi all,

Cloudflare announced three new technological offerings of which, two will surely be of interest to us, Cloudronians (or is it cloudrons/cloudrants/Cloudrians?)

1. Cloudflare R2 Object Storage
Apparently there is no bandwidth fees or egress fees and the pricing is flat 0.015 USD per GB of data stored per month.
Question: Is this the cheapest compared to Backblaze B2 / Wasabi / etc?

2. WebRTC, Livestreaming service
An API for WebRTC using Cloudflare's global edge network.

Today, we’re launching our closed beta WebRTC Components, allowing teams running centralized WebRTC TURN servers to offload it to Cloudflare’s distributed, global network and improve reliability, scale to more users, and spend less time managing infrastructure.

All this look exciting, but things are not clear yet - particularly pricing and tiers.
Hope cloudron will be ready to take advantage of these for backups and bigbluebutton/ other RTC apps.

Discuss, please!

Found the issue.

The application required PHP short tags.
Enabled it by adding 'short_open_tag = on' in Php.ini.

Hi all,
Scalar is a "Born-digital, open-source, media-rich scholarly publishing that's as easy as blogging." platform based on PHP and MySQL, built using Codeigniter framework. It is a fantastic piece of software that makes creating rich media books, monographs, and academic publications easy and functional.

The installation looks straightforward - copying files to the public folder and importing a .sql file into the database.
I followed the instructions on the github and am able to get a response. Installation is here: http://scalar.academe.ac.nz

However, the home page is all mangled up. The logs do not show any errors. I presume I missed something in the config.php

I could use some help here. Does anything in the installation directions point to something I might have to configure in the LAMP app of Cloudron? I am lost and any pointers would be great.

Thank you very much.

I would love to contribute to the packaging of pretix and a couple of others too.
Can we set up a bounty pool for each of these so that we can commit/contribute to?

Thank you

@scooke said in Chaskiq - website and social live chat including chat-bot and video calls:

Info such as hours, etc., could/should be available on a website, no?

Mate, you are right and I mostly agree with you, but you overestimate the capability and/or willingness of people to spend a few extra seconds to look for this information even if it is staring and ready to poke them in their right eye.

It all boils down to this: Give people multiple avenues to engage with your site and your sales-people. Let them choose. One day, perhaps chat will be out of fashion, but for now, some people look for the button right at the bottom right.

@scooke Chat support has its place actually.
Nowadays, the channels for getting information/answers to queries are:

1. Email: Won't work if you need a simple answer immediately. Questions like, 'Are you open right now?' - emails simply won't do. OTOH, threaded and long winded to and fro discussions with trail are best done by email of course.
2. Twitter: Again, won't work for simple queries, nor will it work if you need to attach documents (emails are better in that case)
3. Chat - Immediate answers, can ask for clarifications, etc. Interactivity is good and sometimes technical issues can be resolved live and issues finished. One can multitask when chatting, which is great.
4. Good old telephone - Endless Menus, Wait times and on hold music are off-putting for many people. Also, some prefer the anonymity of chat and not needing to talk to someone.

What do you think?

This is exciting.
Hope to see Chatwoot on the app store soon.

Working very sweetly.

A bump up.

Chaskiq has become even more powerful. And there is a docker version available I believe!

@jdaviescoates Actually, pretix would work great for digital events too - webinars, etc.
They support webinars in their paid versions, but I am sure the open source version can be used to register attendees for online events too.

On this topic, has anybody tried out https://www.attendize.com/? Development seems to have stalled (site last updated in 2020). Github: https://github.com/Attendize/Attendize
