Looks OK, Rallly is the best alternative contender I've found: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3279/rallly-alternative-to-doodle
Cheers for everything @girish & @nebulon 
Now get off the computer and enjoy the festivities wherever you are!
Ho ho ho 
When I started with Cloudron, Collabora was a HTML5 streaming app version of LibreOffice, so had all sorts of rendering issues and speed — so OnlyOffice became our preferred.
But — wow — just tried Collabora again — and it's like Google Docs — but private and better! Layouts render faultlessly from Office docs and to PDFs.
Free and decent on mobile too — whereas OnlyOffice wants an enterprise license for that (nothing against them having a freemium business model of course, given they are clearly open-source leaders in many ways too).
Just saying, for anyone else that had written it off or not tried it in a while.
Well done team Cloudron for giving us these options. World class open-sourcery magic! 
@girish @ @nebulon
"Collaborative Scheduling Done Right
Rallly lets you and your friends vote on a date to host an event"
Doesn't seem to do timezones, which is a handy feature with remote international teams but I signed up for a preview and the dev seems to be aware of that: https://github.com/lukevella/Rallly/issues/22
Otherwise seems to be the best of the bunch for this?
Joining this community and finding so much collaboration, I wonder if, when all the craziness settles, would people be interested in a meet-up?
I've always wanted to visit Berlin, and as much for a social gathering as geek-talk it could be something fun to work towards?
Not expecting some kind of big-effort conference but perhaps getting people together would be good for sharing ideas, getting to know the people behind the handles, and networking to see what else we might do with all this collective experience and enthusiasm.
Fun for 2021 anyone?
A tiny little drawing app.
Works in dark mode too 
I've been hoping and waiting for this feature for a looong time!
Just did a quick check in my Cloudron instance, and it's now there - open source truly rocks! 
More details here:
"Open Source Document Management System for Digital Archives
Designed for scanned documents. Perfect software that will help you reduce paper clutter and keep your business organised."
The OCR looks decent and maybe better for personal use than MayanEDMS, which also looks excellent.
I can see it being a good pairing with Invoice Ninja / Firefly III.
"Attendize is an Open-source ticket selling and event management platform and is everything you need for a successful event. Attendize has a wide array of features aimed at making organising events as effortless as possible."
"GrapesJS is an open-source, multi-purpose, Web Builder Framework which combines different tools and features with the goal to help you (or users of your application) to build HTML templates without any knowledge of coding. It's a perfect solution to replace the common WYSIWYG editors, which are good for content editing but inappropriate for creating HTML structures. You can see it in action with the official demos, but using its API you're able to build your own editors."
Would pair nicely with Surfer & Mautic / Mailtrain

sudo -E bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/firezone/firezone/raw/master/scripts/install.sh)"
Uses the standard Wireguard clients for all platforms, and the QR code generation looks good for making the setups easy enough for non-technical users.
Looks like it supports Keycloak, so may interest @nj
Restrict access for a self-hosted web app to a single whitelisted static IP running Firezone. (a highly recommended additional layer of protection for self-hosted apps that don't need to be exposed to on public IPs).
Enable an administrator to access a server, container, or machine that is normally behind a NAT or firewall.
Only traffic to defined IP ranges will be routed through the VPN server.
Since the news on Adobe purchasing Figma, there seems to have been a significant movement of people looking for an alternative, and sub-set looking for an open-source alternative:
Getting Penpot into the Cloudron App Store would be a big win right now.
@scooke I suppose anything I feel the courage to ask for or suggest I'm seeing value potential for Cloudron the company and the users as well, otherwise we'd just do these things silently ourselves, as we mostly have to now.
Personally, I see Cloudron as the best framework for time-efficient and repeatable, therefore scaleable, web app dev-ops — ultimately resulting in lower costs and barriers to entry for the community to get to try and use almost any open-source web app.
This post is in-line with that (perhaps optimistic) vision.
Effectively, what I'm asking for here is just one app.
We might even be able to get this commissioned from our own development time and contribute it, I've not dug deeper yet, but, ultimately, @girish and @nebulon know their platform better than anyone, including the gotchyas and vision, so I feel it beneficial to at least discuss openly first, see what the interest, appetite and potential collaboration could be.
In the Cloudron App Store, there are a few apps marked as "Unstable", and that's a similar state of; "it's available with warnings and disclaimers regarding stability or completeness".
Perhaps this would then spawn a section of apps that could be flagged "Testing" or "Development" or "Unsupported" or something like that.
I'll see what capacity we have to work on this, but it also might just be that it's not as complicated as it might sound, and it could be a big time-saver for @girish and @nebulon too, so maybe they will have a better vantage point for how to approach it?
Nextybox website also appears to do a good job of explaining the concept, and reasoning for it's existence, and I might finally understand why @robi has been championing this cause for so long on various threads too:
For interest, @vladimir-d has already packages ZorinOS for us locally as a full Desktop OS as a Cloudron app, so we are very active in R&D for these sorts of potentials, and I'm hoping these sorts of developments help attract more developers to Cloudron for the greater benefits of community development.

About rclone
Rclone is a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. Over 40 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage services, as well as standard transfer protocols.
Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the unix commands rsync, cp, mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Rclone's familiar syntax includes shell pipeline support, and --dry-run protection. It is used at the command line, in scripts or via its API.
Users call rclone "The Swiss army knife of cloud storage", and "Technology indistinguishable from magic".
Rclone really looks after your data. It preserves timestamps and verifies checksums at all times. Transfers over limited bandwidth; intermittent connections, or subject to quota can be restarted, from the last good file transferred. You can check the integrity of your files. Where possible, rclone employs server-side transfers to minimise local bandwidth use and transfers from one provider to another without using local disk.
Virtual backends wrap local and cloud file systems to apply encryption, compression, chunking, hashing and joining.
Rclone mounts any local, cloud or virtual filesystem as a disk on Windows, macOS, linux and FreeBSD, and also serves these over SFTP, HTTP, WebDAV, FTP and DLNA.
Rclone is mature, open-source software originally inspired by rsync and written in Go. The friendly support community is familiar with varied use cases. Official Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Brew and Chocolatey repos. include rclone. For the latest version downloading from rclone.org is recommended.
Rclone is widely used on Linux, Windows and Mac. Third-party developers create innovative backup, restore, GUI and business process solutions using the rclone command line or API.
Rclone does the heavy lifting of communicating with cloud storage.
GUI (Experimental)
Rclone can serve a web based GUI (graphical user interface). This is somewhat experimental at the moment so things may be subject to change.
Run this command in a terminal and rclone will download and then display the GUI in a web browser.
rclone rcd --rc-web-gui
Seems to me to be the webapp equivalent/alternative to the also very good, GoodSync, Cyber Duck, Mountain Duck, Expandrive.
There's a local Rsync Browser option too, how well maintained it is and working I don't know: https://github.com/kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser
The issue I'm having with GoodSync is triangulated syncs via a local machine or separate server.
Having Rsync Web GUI as a Cloudron App would enable direct synching of Nextcloud and other data stores with a whole variety of Cloud storage providers, with relatively little technicalities and avoiding the hazards and anxieties of the command line.
@girish @nebulon I'd even go so far as to say; this could be a killer-feature app for Cloudron in making it easier to migrate data from all the many supported cloud connectors. Maybe start with it as an app, and then add it as a Cloudron feature to certain apps in future.
Cloudron already does a great job with backup options, so it would be great to have the same capabilities for migration imports and syncing.
I just messages someone about the Cloudron forum and liked my quote on it too much not to share:
"One of the most positive and proactive communities I've joined. It's like a System Admin's therapy group 
"
An Open Ecosystem
We’re building sustainable solutions for collecting, processing, analyzing and displaying aerial data while supporting the communities built around them.
"Apprise allows you to send a notification to almost all of the most popular notification services available to us today such as: Telegram, Discord, Slack, Amazon SNS, Gotify, etc.
System owners who wish to provide a notification service no longer need to research each and every new one as they appear. They just need to include this one library and then they can immediately gain access to almost all of the notifications services available to us today.
System Administrators who wish to send a notification from a scheduled task or from the command line also no longer need to find the right tool for the job. Everything is already wrapped and supported within the apprise script that ships with this product."*
Maybe useful for Cloudron Notification options beyond the browser?

@girish Interesting insight. I continue to champion the cause and promote Cloudron to all developer contacts I know — in the hope that some pick it up and contribute to the community, and perhaps later their development experience to apps & platform.
Sounds like the parallel need is attracting more "ultra technical" wizards to assist, or somehow incentivising the app authors themselves to adopt the maintenance as part of their release testing. Tell us what you need - you have a community here for a reason, and there are many that want to help in whatever way they can.

Is anyone interested in sponsored App creation?
As a business, we can budget for this as a reasonable expense and happy to contribute to both the creator and the community with helping fund these things.
We can sponsor the following for anyone wanting to get paid to package?
Need these to migrate over our current instances:
Need solutions for:
Looking at the current rate of App packaging and launch on Cloudron, I can only guess all this might take 5 years unless there's something I'm missing.
So many great Apps but I'm not getting any closer to app system consolidation without having a bunch of these. How can we speed this packaging process up?
Sorry, I'd love to learn and do but just can't neglect current duties right now. What I can do is divert a bit of budget if that helps.
If the community here is in a similar position, perhaps we can have a whip-round and contribute to recruiting for this?
I also have some seriously decent privacy-conscious client potential for all of this - but we have to dog-food anything before we can promote it.
Very happy with Cloudron - all features definitely going in a great direction - but how do we get more Apps into the Store faster? That App Request list is going up faster than down.
I've been studying and thinking a lot about Cloudron use-cases.
Something that bugs me is how the Microsoft/Apple/Google expectations for schools and children is very exclusive for low-income parents.
I can see that a lot of users here are also hosting and sharing with family.
I wonder if you'd consider a Family/Educational licence tier?
Maybe something like €5/m, given that there's still the VPS and domain to pay for.
I'm thinking it could be full-function, except being limited to just one domain.
I just know parents that don't have landline internet or premium services because feeding the family comes first but then they are expected to pay for expensive software and operating systems for their children not to be excluded from learning technology.
You might have to assess how many users that might already include that might expect to change to this tier.
I suppose it could have an additional approval process for the domain being a personal family domain and not a commercial organisation.
It's your business, so your prerogative, I just wanted to note the thought, not as a campaign against your model but just as a consideration alongside all the many other things you consider.
I'm thinking knowing this can help build the community and customers, that ultimately invest in a platform we all seem to enjoy. Likes & reviews on these places could help.
I'll start, quite an easy one and common I'm sure: https://alternativeto.net/software/cloudron/
Previously tried Cloudways, Runcloud, D2C.io, all pretty good - but Cloudron just spoke to me for the low entry point for personal use, large variety of apps we already use and were setup with more complex K8S and multi-server/provider setups.
Just made complete sense to consolidate a lot of that and optimise for single-server setups with a more accessible admin interface that didn't require high-level dev-ops in-house for the more common needs of any open-source-first and privacy-conscious people or team.
I try to @mention Cloudron regularly on Twitter too on comments on other large open source account tweets for a bit more interest from those likely to find the same satisfying time-saving I'm here for.
"Free Open-Source Invoice app
for freelancers & small businesses."
https://craterapp.com
https://github.com/bytefury/crater
Again, tough to compete with Invoice Ninja - but a notable mention for comparing and has mobile apps.
Thinking about websites & apps with regular data-creation.
In the event of migrating from one Cloudron to another, it may be necessary to take the site offline for the transition period to ensure the restore contained all the latest data.
Thoughts?
I was in an email conversation with Wasabi recommending Cloudron to them, since I recommend Wasabi here so much, so perhaps they will reach our for partnership somehow.
In the meantime they've added Cloudron to their docs, which is a nice endorsement:
Maybe they could use Cloudron to switch from Zendesk to Freescout 
@jimcavoli @girish @nebulon I just had my Open AI beta application accepted!!
Get me n8n.io on Cloudron and I'll get amazing GPT-3 things built for you!
I must explain the same things many times to new users logging in to my.example.com.
It would be a big time-saver, for them and me, if we could have a first-use pop-up modal that contained one page with first-use welcome introductions and explanations.
This could be dismissed, and a (?) icon put in the top-bar for clicking to see it again.
Admins should be able to edit it.
I do something similar with the Rocket Chat Home page - but then I have to get people through the my.example.com login first, so it makes more sense to have the instructions there to get them into all the other apps necessary for their work and communications.
@plusone-nick said in Proposal: Free-Tier Alterations 
:
Provide a one time "Update" subscription/service
Anything that encourages people to run outdated software for free sounds like a nightmare and irresponsible to me.
Sorry, but none of this makes any sense.
People pay $10/month for music and video subscription services where they never own the data.
$15/month for what can replace many other paid services is a time-waster filter in my opinion.
Decent System Admins are in the $50-250/hour range. I seriously think Cloudron is too cheap sometimes.
As far as I'm concerned the current pricing is very generous and accommodating for my needs.
I feel it is up to us as the larger network of experienced experts to champion the cause on other chatrooms, forums, social media and business contacts as to how happy we are with Cloudron and what great value it is.
Attracting more developers to app packaging also keeps increasing the value.
I'm trying to get some higher ticket clients onto it, that can then sponsor more of the enterprise types apps.
Maybe if we focus on getting more higher paying subscribes, that will create the economies of scale for a lower pricing on a home tier.
I hate limitations on software - but completely respect paying for luxury add-ons, security not being a luxury.
Anyone here experienced with OSC Inventory or similar?
Open computers and software inventory is an assets management solution. Since 2001, OCS Inventory has been looking to make hardware and software inventory of computers more efficient. OCS Inventory queries its agents to know the soft and hard composition of each machine, each server. OCS Inventory also queries the network to discover the active elements that cannot receive an agent. Since version 2.0, OCS Inventory integrates the functionality of SNMP scans.
The main purpose of this integration is to complement the data collected by ipdiscover. Using SNMP scans will allow you to insert a lot of information about your network hardware: printers, switches, computers (which do not have an OCS agent installed), etc. SNMP scans will be performed by OCS agents based on IP addresses collected by ipdiscover.
OCS Inventory includes the package deployment feature, in order not to control, but to ensure uniformity of the software environments present on the network. From the central management server, you can upload the packets that will be downloaded using HTTP/HTTPS and launched by the agent on the client computer. OCS remote deployment is configurable so that sent packets impact the network’s quality of service as little as possible. OCS is used as a deployment tool on parks with more than 150 000 machines.

CKAN is a tool for making open data websites. (Think of a content management system like WordPress - but for data, instead of pages and blog posts.) It helps you manage and publish collections of data. It is used by national and local governments, research institutions, and other organizations who collect a lot of data.
Once your data is published, users can use its faceted search features to browse and find the data they need, and preview it using maps, graphs and tables - whether they are developers, journalists, researchers, NGOs, citizens, or even your own staff.

Before I joined the LinuxServer organization I had been working on a Docker management solution called Taisun. Over the years it became apparent everyone downloading this application was only really using the subfeature to be able to run a Linux desktop in their web browser. From parts of this project we as a team started deploying containers for popular GUI applications in docker containers and have now released: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/webtop

@girish Most of those services use shared IP addresses, and upsell dedicated IPs on the basis that their shared IPs might not be as reliable for delivery reputation.
In my experience, none of the relays can help deliverability from their reputation alone, it's the tools (like Postal) they offer that help you make sure you're not sending marketing emails to people that unsubscribe, mark the emails as spam, or bouncing.
Deliverability is more to do with domain and email address reputation, content and minimal unsubscribes or abuse reports.
Any new domain email address to be used for mass-mailing should really be warmed up, there's a whole industry of platforms offering that service, due to the need, and explaining it better themselves:
I realise building a good reputation for email delivery is hard, but that's because bad people ruin things for the rest of us, but Postal is a good anti-lockin tool for businesses sending emails, because otherwise they get locked in to their reputation being somewhat tied to the 3rd-party SaaS relay.
Plus, it's another thing that Cloudron pro users could resell to their clients, save money from 3rd-party relays, and use your own separate Cloudrons for mail relay.
After all that, I think it's still a worthy candidate app for many online Pros 
Part of the problem with self-hosted email sending deliverability is the lack of that data on bounces, marked as spam and unsubscribe rates, so Postal might help with that, and levelling the field against the tech-giant dominance over this one specific area that they know is one of their leverage tools to diminish the internet for those that don't fall into line.
This looks amazing, seems relatively simple to package, and is all a part of the future of work, collaboration and sharing.
We've only just given Nextcloud Collectives a spin - and it actually seems pretty damn good!
It uses my preferred Markdown, is collaborative, simple, accessible, links to Nextcloud Files, seems to maintain links between document when they change path, has all the useful WYSIWYG Markdown tools, including a reasonable implementation of static tables.
What's not to like? (I don't really like the name though, but can't win them all.)
Thought the experience was worth noting as a credible alternative to Notion, Outline, Documize, Appflowy etc, since the conversation and comparison comes up occasionally:

At first with the standing desk it was hard work for more than an hour.
Now I stand all day and most of the evening and it feels weird sitting to work. Much better for the brain work too as a your lung capacity is higher when standing for oxygen needs.
It's 2m wide by 1m deep - I already think I need another one for all the stuff to play with and make it a proper home-studio for music, video etc.
We've already done some of this ourselves, but I wonder if it might be more feature-complete, and now Nextcloud supported, to move towards Cloudron's Nextcloud App following the Nextcloud AIO package?
It also seems to follow a similar philosophy:
This project values stability over new features. That means that when a new major Nextcloud update gets introduced, we will wait at least until the first patch release, e.g. 24.0.1 is out before upgrading to it. Also we will wait with the upgrade until all important apps are compatible with the new major version.
@JOduMonT I think the world has change now there's more value in data than people released but capitalism knows and is both; competing to acquire, and exploiting, in ways beyond most people's imaginations - until they find election campaigning shenanigans but don't know what to do about it.
So necessary to trust in services; yes.
Trust them with your valuable and private data? 
When Google is reading your shopping email confirmations and Facebook is reading everything with a "Like" script, I think it's a responsibility to have parts of your data world not visible to the marketing world.
Privacy, encryption and permissions should be as essential in schooling for the Technology Revolution as literacy was for The Renaissance.
So - data privacy politics for 6.1 anyone?
