I've previously found (and read) that Collabora is a lot slower when collaboratively editing because it does stuff on the server end that OnlyOffice does locally, but perhaps that is better these days?

@marcusquinn thanks, I was wondering why you'd opted for Collabora over OnlyOffice since I saw this section on your https://brandlight.org/ website:

@girish said in Issue with NextCloud and OnlyOffice:

FWIW, nextcloud+onlyoffice works in our install on firefox (my primary browser).

Same here.

@fbartels nice find. No-code platforms seem to be getting more and more usage, but most of them are proprietary.

@ruihildt yeah, it'd be great if Cloudron could just subscribe to these lists for us.

the absolute garbage that is Nextcloud Mail.

To be fair, it is pretty new and getting better. One day it might even be the best! (but not today).

I can't really remember properly, but I think it recently added a way to have multiple identities and to easily switch between them, something which is missing from some of the others (I forget which).

@nebulon thought that might've been it, thanks

@jdaviescoates for Roundcube, the others didn't pass my short attention span for acceptable daily-drivers

It does seem the best of bad bunch (it's the second most popular after Mailpile on https://selfhosted.libhunt.com/categories/1665-webmail-clients ), but frustrating that e.g. it seemingly can't be used to set-up filters and so need to use Rainloop for that. The state of open source webmail really is bad

@girish the one I shared above https://github.com/ink-blot/nodebb-plugin-node-ldap is also a little bit old (the last commit was nearly 12 months ago), but it's newer than those two.

@staff I'm confused, this is marked as solved but I'm not sure it actually is - or will 6.0 have these nice new columns?!?

@robi I've no idea how it works either!

@girish said in What's coming in 6.0 (take 2):

Right, those features like operators have to come from mail clients themselves. Note that solr is actually not adding anything new to what is already there. It's just making search faster internally by having an index.

Thanks. I so wish there were better open webmail clients. Mailpile does most of what I want but development has seemingly largely stalled

Roundcube at least has these:

Unfortunately, no. I think there was this nextcloud app called nextant back in the day which used solr. That app was however deprecated and they moved to this fulltextsearch app. The fulltextsearch app can have multiple backends but afaik there is only an elastic search backend (someone has to write a solr backend).

Looks like someone started to make one, but there hasn't been any updates since Jun 2019

@girish said in What's coming in 6.0 (take 2):

That's the idea, yes. To keep excitement in control, from my testing, the fts has real benefits only if you lots of email (like say 2GB and more). You also need a lot of RAM to run solr (like 3GB). The feature is turned off by default for this reason.

OK, thanks.

I guess part of what I'm asking is does having solr enabled some allow for using some Gmail-style search operators like from: to: in:sent has:attachment etc?

I'm guessing perhaps not and that such things would need to be built in/ added to the webmail clients themselves? But I'm unclear

@girish said in What's coming in 6.0 (take 2):

solr fts search was merged today.

This is great... but I'm intrigued to how exactly we'll be able to take advantage of it e.g. to search email/ files?

Will Cloudron Roundcube/ Rainloop/ Sogo, Nextcloud Mail somehow automagically take advantage of solr? or what?

I guess the same applies to Nextcloud files too - will search files on there somehow benefit from the power of solr?

Thanks!

@ericdrgn it started off working fine for me. Then basically stopped. After leaving it for ages it seems to work OK again. I think it may just be that the search engines it calls start blocking it but I've really no idea what's going on. I basically just decided to stop using it and reverted back to Duck Duck Go.

@yusf said in Why is my backup drive full?:

Is there something weird about this or is it due to those longer-lasting backups from older Cloudron versions?

I'm not sure, but guessing likely the latter.

In the end I SSH'd in and deleted a load of old backups - be nicer to be able to do this in the Cloudron UI though.

@necrevistonnezr said in Cypht - Lightweight open source webmail application written in PHP and JavaScript:

tags: Tag content for easy searching/filtering. Not yet functional

I was indeed. Shame they aren't yet functional. But at least they are working on them!

It's a shame NodeBB doesn't have the reputation levels thing like Discourse which gives nice fine grained permissions so that trusted members needn't be slowed down (on Discourse new members just can't post links at all which cuts down on spam loads).

@marcusquinn I used @murgero instance the other day

Worked fine. But I think I prefer Framadate.
