@LoudLemur Got another one for you:
I think we'll see a lot more. What an amazing time to be alive!

Serge - LLaMa made easy 🦙 - self-hosted AI Chat
chat interface based on llama.cpp for running Alpaca models. Entirely self-hosted, no API keys needed. Fits on 4GB of RAM and runs on the CPU.
SvelteKit frontend
MongoDB for storing chat history & parameters
FastAPI + beanie for the API, wrapping calls to llama.cpp -
RE: Nextcloud Hub 4 (Version 26) is out
For what it's worth the full-text search is almost useless due to ti being the same very cramped and limited search interface being the same, but just with a lot more results on searches.
IMHO they would do better to copy the GDrive interface or similar.

RE: Nextcloud Hub 4 (Version 26) is out
@necrevistonnezr I guess that's what Nextcloud AIO is: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8383/nextcloud-all-in-one-aio
Although, given Collabora CODE is an app to install, maybe they should be packaging ElasticSearch as a Nextcloud app too.

RE: Univention Blog: Let’s Diss Those from the Government!
@humptydumpty It was more about the apps within that ecosystem that the blog article references. Univention, as fas as I know, is one of the few ways to offer Active Directory Services without a Microsoft Server, so it does have unique use-cases. Just a similar but different tool, that happens to also champion open-source.

RE: LDAP aliases integration for Nextcloud
@fbartels @nebulon I see. I guess Cloudron Email Alias records are stored in the LDAP table then?
It would be handy for this integration if they were, just a good time-saver, and implementation consistency in using this provisioning setup tool for larger user groups.

RE: Email import tool built-in to Cloudron
Heard good things about this:
Obviously not self-hosted, but if you're not encrypting your partitions anyway, then technically your host can see all emails just as easily as with migration tools. I doubt they have any interest in their contents, but then privacy and encryption is another conversation for another thread. Just posting this to help compare features and possibilities.

@humptydumpty I wasn't shilling Univention

RE: Best way to upload large amounts of data to servers/Cloud
Perhaps others offer similar. If you can get the storage temporarily onto something with a faster connection, that's probably your cheapest route.

RE: Univention Blog: Let’s Diss Those from the Government!
Well, the more open-source champions, investment and value is generated in the industry, the better for all of us I'm sure.
IMHO open-source should be the default choice throughout education, with proprietary and commercial systems competing based on their industry specific implementations.
-
Univention Blog: Let’s Diss Those from the Government!
The reputation of the German administration in terms of digitalization is not always the best. In his blog post, Lars Hoeger from our product management team explains why he has come to see it differently and why he believes the negative image is not justified.
You can also learn more about forward-looking projects such as the open source platform Open CoDE and the Sovereign IT Workplace for Public Administration. This is currently being developed on the basis of a number of successful open source solutions as an alternative to Microsoft365 and a first version is expected to be available by the end of the year. Get an overview of its components and project planning in this exciting report.
Posting here for open-source in government interest, and those not subscribing to their newsletter, because I believe the interests of the community are also in the value of open-source for organisational security, data protection, and software freedom.

RE: Shlink - Modern URL Shortener
@ajtatum Worth being aware that a good 20% of apps, that look great, have issues in packaging that prevent them being fully-functional to the service levels expected from Cloudron users.
However, when hitting those issues, it can easily become 2-3x the effort in perseverance to exhaust all possible research and testing to see if blocking issues can be resolved with safe and reliable workarounds, and sometimes upstream requests or patch recommendations.
Sometimes this is regrettably for all, to no avail, especially whoever put in the many days to try everything possible to make it work.
All of that is a thankless task behind the scenes. What you do in researching and articulating the apps, what their advantages are (ideally with screenshots, and videos when available), all helps to save time in that same research to understand, and get votes to help prioritise based on demand.
I know you will be getting a lot more apps packaged this year, week by week, and some really high-demand ones.
Maybe this Schlink app will be a quick win and get in there too. The best help is keeping it positive, helping with the research, visuals and explainers, and I assure you the forum is so engaged and monitored by many in-house and community app packagers, that the best use-case apps will all be getting attention asap.

RE: Best approach to updating Ghost to latest?
@tshirt-chihuahu Have you edited the theme? Ghost also has a very good backup & restore feature in the admin. Download and upload a .zip. You could try that and fire up a new instance to see if that solves, then change the location if it does, keep the old one stopped until you're happy all is present and correct.

RE: pricing too high
I reckon Cloudron saves me something like 500 hours a year from having to do the same without it. It's what Plesk should have been!

RE: Reducing backup costs / Backup to pCloud
@Mad_Mattho Checkout iDrive.com e2 or Hetzner.com Storage Box, both well tested and liked by many here.

RE: Mailtrain (v1) unlisted from app store
@girish Yeah, TBH you can do so much more with it, it's a full low-code business app development platform.
The things you're looking for are Campaigns, Target Lists, Email Templates. It also tracks email opens and clicks.
We've developed it a lot for internal use, you can pretty-much run a full business experience on it. Much faster that Odoo to work with, too.

RE: Revolt - open source and privacy-friendly Discord alternative
Just logged in to look at the demo of the latest. It is a very nice UI, although credit to Discord for their original design. It is very fast too, perhaps the fastest chat UX I've seen too. Reaction emojis seem to be a missing feature but maybe that's intentional.
Honestly, I can see the value in having it packaged as a Cloudron app because the type of people using these communities have the numbers and attitude to broadcast their praise and viral referrals to anything, so maybe Revolt on Cloudron would gain a lot of referrals for Cloudron.
Between the Discord and Slack communities, the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for Revolt is huge. Element is OK. Rocket Chat we know the issues with that. Nextcloud Talk does the job. But from my experience with chat apps, since Atlassian's HipChat, I can see the distinction and USP of Revolt. So still a
from me on this.

RE: XWiki - The Advanced Open Source Enterprise Wiki
@saint Definitely as solid Confluence alternative. Not sure how complex to package, but looks like a pretty vanilla app, so maybe simple. In the meantime, take a look at Documize as a newer alternative.
-
RE: NEW: Nextcloud Tables
@yusf Agreed! Needs some campaigning on GitHub probably. You'd think they'd have noticed how close they are to offering an alternative to the fastest growing SaaS app in the same space! No point just trying to match Microsoft for features, as they lag everyone else.
-
NEW: Nextcloud Tables
- https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/tables
- https://nextcloud.com/blog/eu-governments-bet-on-nextcloud-to-replace-sharepoint/
Looks like another feature towards being a good open-source Notion alternative:
Manage data the way you need it.
With this app you are able to create your own tables with individual columns. You can start with a template or from scratch and add your wanted columns. You can choose from the following column types:
Text line or long text
Link
Number
Progress bar
Stars rating
Yes/No tick
Date and/or time
Share your tables with users and groups within your cloud.Have a good time and manage whatever you want.
-
RE: pricing too high
I have made some suggestions privately on having 6 tiers of pricing, that would be relative to the value to each user-type.
The open forum here is great for gathering all those user stories.
I think then we just have to respect it also takes a significant amount of time and cost/benefit analysis to make any pricing changes in an established business, since all change affects different needs, differently.

RE: Configuring Apache Superset to install and show demo data on Cloudron
@LoudLemur Ultimately Cloudon is one of the best promoters for all these open-source app packages, because it helps more people to set them up and use them.
I think focus on that, which is actually the majority of the attention people have for the platform anyway, the platform itself is ultimately driven by the founders, and we all know that delivering on a vision and paying the bills is a challenge, so I think that's best left to their wisdom, and we focus on all the ways that growing the community might eventually make those decisions evolve too.
-
RE: Configuring Apache Superset to install and show demo data on Cloudron
@LoudLemur Great stuff! Make sure you tweet about it, comment on other forums, sub-Reddits, GitHubs, wherever you get the opportunity.
The more this community can reach out to other communities with all your authentic enthusiasm, the more those back-links turn into more users, participants here, fans of the platform, and all that helps afford more apps and support. Win-win-win!
-
RE: Configuring Apache Superset to install and show demo data on Cloudron
@LoudLemur I think yes, but with the disclaimer that it will be a much larger and longer install process.
Give it a try if you have the space.
@vladimir-d may know more in the morning.

RE: Yaade - Yet Another API Development Environment
I like the idea. Attracting more devs to Cloudron is effectively attracting more influencers for using the platform.

RE: Google Workplace Terms of Service Update kills email outreach for business
@humptydumpty business is done with email, I can't see that changing for a long time. I think best to treat it as if it were an open database, like a forum, because at any time it can be.
The bigger issue here is de-platforming risk from moving Ts & Cs goalposts, or not even knowing where the pitch lines will be for the whole game.
Just doubles-down on my belief that it's a sensible investment to manage your own email server with Cloudron and your own IP reputation with a dedicated VPS. Over time I see the same deliverability confidence with my self-hosted email, it just takes a little time and organic usage to build the reputation than Google to Google seems to have, or maybe that's just an illusion.
-
RE: Google Workplace Terms of Service Update kills email outreach for business
@ianhyzy If I sent out my CV to 20 companies or people from the email addresses they publish on their website or social profiles, that's unsolicited.
Data Protection laws allow for "legitimate interest". This "unsolicited" term is more onerous, and implies they could interpret in any way they like.
Imaging sending a Bcc email you though was updating a bunch of business contacts, none of which have any email subscription, you risk having your entire productivity setup cancelled and all the disruption there is in changing provider.
@necrevistonnezr Might know more on these things?

RE: VDO.ninja
@fbartels Sorry, I just mean branding the URL, not the actual product. so that simple surfer equivalent option could work.
-
RE: VDO.ninja
Been testing this. Can confirm it does work well on their hosted version, which seems to just be the UI for brokering the P2P connections.
Given that it's just brokering, I can't imagine it'd be that difficult to package for more confidence in that privacy, and of course having branded links.

UI Bakery: self-hosted alternative to Bubble, Apprise, Retool etc

Git CI/CD feature looks inspired!

RE: Delete all logs of connectivity from users to server
The rabbit hole is when you have to delete from backups too. Some people I'm sure try to weaponise GDPR to cost you time and the most inconvenience.
