Please make it more clear which part of the config files needs to be edited by providing a worked example in the first time run section.

It should be a policy to include a worked example for instructions.

@BrutalBirdie Did the pizza eat itself?! Haha

FilePizza used to be supported on Cloudron. It was a way of sharing a file by providing a link. It seems to have disappeared without a trace. Was it eaten?

Cloudron still supports Jirafeau, which fulfills a similar function in a similar way.

@marcusquinn Here is a chatGPT:

@marcusquinn said in Kafka:

Looks like ChatGPT wrote this generic prose. Spam?

Nice idea! Here is an example of a AI generated request for Kafka on Cloudron:

I am writing to request that the Cloudron platform include Kafka software. Kafka is a powerful and popular event-streaming platform that is used for building distributed, event-driven architectures and streaming applications. By including Kafka in the Cloudron platform, developers would be able to quickly and easily deploy Kafka clusters and use them to power their applications. This would help to reduce the amount of time and effort required to set up and maintain Kafka clusters, increasing productivity for developers and allowing them to create more powerful applications. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide in making this request a reality. Thank you for your time and consideration.

@nennogabriel said in Kafka:

Kafka is a good choice for many use cases because of its various features and capabilities. Some reasons why Kafka is a good choice include:

Durability: Kafka stores all published messages for a configurable amount of time, allowing for fault-tolerance in the event of server failures.

High-throughput: Kafka is built to handle high-throughput, low-latency data streams, making it ideal for real-time streaming applications.

Decoupling: Kafka allows for decoupling of data producers and consumers, making it easier to add or remove data sources and data processing tasks without affecting other parts of the system.

Multi-subscriber: Kafka allows multiple consumers to read from the same topic, enabling different parts of an application or different applications to consume the same data.

Flexibility: Kafka can be used for a wide range of use cases, including real-time data streaming, log aggregation, event sourcing, and more.

Open-source: Kafka is open-source and actively developed, meaning it has a large and supportive community, and new features and improvements are added regularly.

Overall, Kafka is a powerful, highly scalable, and fault-tolerant distributed streaming platform that can handle high-throughput, low-latency data streams, making it a good choice for many use cases.

Your request is far more likely to find support if you state what the application helps you do.

@girish A couple of years ago, the maintainer of YaCy stated he wasn't going to do any further unpaid work to improve the project. Some improvements have happened since then, though these are largely the result of a paid project he is supporting. I haven't looked at the websited for a while but that certainly has had some big changes of late.

UPDATE!

Big changes have happened on the YaCy project website. There is a live demo of an instance now for people to try:

https://yacy.searchlab.eu/Status.html

The YaCy Grid project has got off the ground now too. (The maintainer wanted this to be the way forward.)

If you haven't visited https://searchlab.eu recently, it is worth a look

@nebulon That is good. I am still trying to work out why it didn't run for when I tried it. Perhaps Cloudron indicated that LibreTranslate was "Running" prior to it having fully got going properly. A few other applications, like the forum software, are similar. In the case of LibreTranslate, it would probably take even longer.

Anyway, I have it running on my desktop and have been having a look around for additional translation tools.

@girish said in SearxNG has an instance with ChatGPT experimental support:

@jdaviescoates ah, thanks for the info! I wanted to switch as well but was trying to find out why they forked before I made the switch.

Thanks and thanks @jdaviescoates . SearxNG looks like the better choice.

For me the problem is that though the front-end is Free, all the "search" engines are censorious, Big Data monstrosities. I really hope we are able to find a Free search that can be run on Cloudron.

Just to remind everybody, there is a request by JoDuMonT here for YaCy:

https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2715/yacy-decentralized-web-search?_=1674639379272

@girish said in Self-Host LibreTranslate Compact Version on Cloudron:

Agree that the package is quite large. @nebulon and @vladimir-d can correct me, but from what I remember, even without any language models at all, the docker image was ~7GB.

Because the default configuration for the first run includes downloading every module, I think a lot of people (like myself) are going to think that LibreTranslate doesn't work, as it takes a while to retrieve everything. It might be a good idea to include a message in "first run" indicating that there is likely to be a delay while it gets ready.

By default, LibreTranslate is large (16GB) due to all the modules.

There is a yaml file where you can specify the arguments for what happens during installation.

If Cloudron could provide a list of boxes to be ticked in the first run section, or something like that, it might be a nice way of selecting which of all the languages you want available for translation.

This could reduce the storage requirement for LibreTranslate, and make the time from launching it on its first run to being usable much quicker.

@girish From the docs, I have the impression they just got fed up trying to contribute and wanted to improve the GUI.

@robi Plebbit looks like it is going to be a strong platform for social media interaction. There is already a beta to try.

https://medium.com/@plebbit/about-plebbit-3edb35ac48f1

@marcusquinn Applications ought to be designed to protect the user's attention. Most social-media appliactions do quite the reverse. Perhaps this is the case with Project Management tools, too.

@nj You are great! Thanks for the answer.

Sometimes a browser can throw up an error message. It is useful to check what might be the cause and to discover if there are other issues.

Can anybody suggest some online tools which can help with creating a security report?

For example:

https://www.httpcs.com/en/test-ssl-certificate

https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/

@jdaviescoates Good question! I am curious to hear the answer to that, too.

@nj said in Project Management Software Comparison: OpenProject vs Taiga vs Redmine vs Gitlab vs WeKan vs NextCloud Deck vs Vikunja vs EspoCRM:

I am the person who has tried all project management and kanban tools in Cloudron for at least a few weeks. Me an my project manager had to pick one for the team. I may sound too opinionated but Taiga is the best PM tool out there. Blazing fast, lots of features and stable, while being simple for beginners to get used to. Nothing else compares. We recently moved to Jira feom Taiga and miss the simplicity and speed. Feature-wise Taiga is no less than Jira.

Great, and thanks! This is just the sort of experience I was hoping to hear. Stuff like this encourages people to give something a try, in this case, Taiga.

Why did you prefer Taiga to OpenProject?

@timconsidine

This is Gantt for NextCloud. https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/nextcloud-gantt-chart/

@marcusquinn Will do! I have added some of the other ideas too, but have run out of hashtags!

@marcusquinn

@timconsidine OpenProject does look very pretty. I think that is important, if you are going to be using it often, as would likely be the case for monitoring a project.

For me, I think Gantt Charts are a key tool in any Project Management software, and OpenProject supports those.

At the moment, had I to pick between all of these I would go with OpenProject.

Perhaps somebody has tried using all of these and would like to benefit us from their experience?

They are all available for one-click deployment on Cloudron. They are about as popular as each other it seems.

Does one of these stand out as the best designed or have the most promise behind it?

@robi Haha

@robi It is not easy to find, and you may need to ask your sys admin to have it enabled. (In your case, probably reach out to You.) In the YouCode application, there is a settings button at the top right. Click on that to reveal parameter settings like MaxLines. If it isn't visible, try contacting You.

Finding that box can be tricky too. You might need to try a search and then scroll down to some of the results to find it.

In passing, there is an early access too

@murgero said in Goteo on Cloudron (Open Source Crowdfunding):

@loudlemur For those looking to run this NOW and not wait for packaging, this will run lovely in the LAMP app which supports php7/8, Maria/Mysql, cron, and has mod-rewrite

Was Goteo eventually packaged for Cloudron? I can't see it.

ArchiveBox is very popular. I hope Cloudron support it.

Also consider ArchivesSpace:

This is great news, as quite a few people would say that Odoo Studio was a must-have, if you were to run Odoo, but the Studio module is non-Free.

Nice! Thank you.

@robi grab-site is a great suggestion and I hope Cloudron supports it. @jdaviescoates makes a good recommendation too.

After the website is grabbed, the next phase is reading and searching it offline. I don't know if you have had much joy trying that with grab-site.

If grab-site can be supported, it is not very far from being able to support YaCy too, which also visits websites and crawls the pages. There is a request for YaCy support on Cloudron here:

@robi said in What RTMP Ports to use if I want to use both PeerTube and Owncast?:

Then it may be time to ask for a message to not change the peertube port during install/config just like with jitsi, if you do, it won't work.

I think that is a good thing to suggest. It will work, if the default port is not selected, but not all of its functionality (namely the livestreaming ability) would be available, as far as I understand.

I think it would be worth mentioning upstream to frama too. I don't know why they hardcoded it. Maybe it is a temporary thing.

@jdaviescoates said in What RTMP Ports to use if I want to use both PeerTube and Owncast?:

@LoudLemur I guess the point I was making is that I don't think Owncast needs to be 1936?

I think that is right. I changed Owncasts Port around and it kept going well. Peertube seems to be the particular one.

Cloudron has some documentation on how to setup an instance here:

https://docs.cloudron.io/installation/

I think this documentation was written with deployment on a commercial VPS in mind. Is there a similar guide written with the goal of helping setup one's home PC in mind?

• Which changes would be needed?
• What sort of issues might crop up when dealing with the router / firewall / keeping the rest of the home network safe, whilst allowing the Cloudron PC to connect to the outside world?

@jdaviescoates said in What RTMP Ports to use if I want to use both PeerTube and Owncast?:

@LoudLemur said in What RTMP Ports to use if I want to use both PeerTube and Owncast?:

Peertube on Port 1935 and Owncast on Port 1936.

Yeah, or any two different ports would work too, I think.

That is what I used to think too, but in the screenshot above, you can see that, for livestreaming, PeerTube requires 1935. I tried changing that, and then couldn't enable Livestreaming. I think it might be hardcoded or something.

@timconsidine said in ChangeDetection is not detecting changes:

@LoudLemur I just added this page to my instance, in order to test if it picks up changes / new posts

ANSWER : yes my instance picked up this additional post

Thanks! I shall keep investigating. ...

@jdaviescoates said in What RTMP Ports to use if I want to use both PeerTube and Owncast?:

@LoudLemur can't remember exactly, but I think that's basically what I did

I have a feeling you would have done things the proper way, the way that makes things work, and that would have been to have Peertube on Port 1935 and Owncast on Port 1936.

I have been experimenting with this Application and it doesn't seem to work for me. Perhaps I haven't set it up properly.

I tried a few different sites and it doesn't notice any differences, even though it has rechecked and differences are there.

Has anybody else had this problem? What might be the issue?

@LoudLemur

The first thing I notice is that it egg-times without end. However, if you duplicate the tab, the egg-timing disappears and it provides a time stamp indicating how long ago the page was checked...

I am experimenting with ChangeDetection. The examples it has setup by default seem to work OK, but I want to try and see if it monitors changes in the Original Post (OP) and / or additional comments to the thread. So here goes.

EDIT: I am just editing this top-post now to see if the ChangeDetection recognizes the difference and creates an alert.

@timconsidine

There seems to be a memory-leak issue with Playwright.

https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/wiki/Playwright-content-fetcher

I don't know if it has been fixed yet. I would like to see a side-by-side comparison of results with and without Playwright.

@imc67 You could use the thread tools at the top right of the thread to mark this as a question and then thread solved.

@jdaviescoates EDIT! By default, both applications want port 1935~~. If you installed Owncast first, leave its port as it is as 1935.~~ During the Cloudron installation process for PeerTube,
set PeerTubes port to 1936. That lets both of the applications work ok together.

Wrong!

Peertube is pretty fixed on using Port 1935, if you want to use it for livestreaming. Setup Peertube as port 1935. Don't change Peertube from any other Port to 1935, as Peertube won't work properly. It is better to just completely reinstall Peertube and start again with Port 1935.

@LoudLemur Any news about this?

@apcdev Any news on this?

@yeku said in AI on Cloudron:

@LoudLemur said in AI on Cloudron:

eople will not long from now be running Free Software, federated, self-hosted

I predict that eventually at least hundreds of millions of people will run FOSS/FLOSS. But there will still be proprietary software too.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Cloudron could make that a lot easier for people.

@yeku said in AI on Cloudron:

@LoudLemur AI seems immaterial to a service such as Cloudron which essentially packages up FOSS/FLOSS applications so that users can easily install them.

Just as an aside, ChatGPT is proprietary. Microsoft will almost certainly use to ChatGPT to take some of Google Search's market share. Much like Windows OS, Microsoft will probably carefully guard the source code for ChatGPT.

Hopefully, people will not long from now be running Free Software, federated, self-hosted AIs that help each other learn by sharing crawls and data over a distributed network. That is one way I hope Cloudron could help.

@timconsidine, Happy New Year to you! I hope it is a lot better than 2022!

@timconsidine A relatively recent "gaming laptop" lets somebody run the stable-diffusion AI to generate art. If you have an nvidia card with a lot of vram, like a 3080, you can get impressive results.

I think old, gaming PCs could be a great use for Cloudron. They would have the RAM and GPU needed to do a lot of AI stuff as a hobby. We would need to show how to setup a Cloudron at home behind a router, and to have some Cloudron AI applications...

AI is set to make a lot of advances and appear in unusual places. Cloudron might be able to help.

This thread is to stimulate discussion and form an early focal point for AI related ideas and news for those on Cloudron interested in this topic.

To get the ball rolling, there is now an AI search engine available:

https://you.com

You.com permits you to request that an application be added to improve search results. For example, you could ask that SepiaSearch, (PeerTube's content search) be included. Owncast is federated too, and you could request that be included as an application, also.

How Much Data Will Stream?

There is a tool to help you calculate how much bandwidth will be used here:

https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/streaming-bitrate#upload-speed-for-streaming-live-content

Of course be careful that you don't confuse Mbps (megabits per second) with MBps (MegaBytes per second).

Your Host might distinguish between Ingress (data you send to the Cloudron) and Egress (data sent from your Cloudron to your audience.)

Here is a tough question: What do companies mean when they say they allot you 1TB of bandwidth? If you only stream once a month, for example, and from beginning to end of your recording is 1GB, could you have a maximum of 1024 viewers for your audience?

Or does it mean you could loop the recording and play it 1024 times to as many people as wanted to see it? Or what?
