Cloudron Forum

Brilliant round of features for quality of life and peace of mind — thank you

Looks like this has evolved a lot:

@girish What do you think?

Time to add some privacy-focused FOSS AI goodies to Cloudron?

@girish Amazing!

@robi needs more upvotes, for that alone!

Now, of course, we have AI to read Ts & Cs for gotchas.

@girish said in Plausible (Analytics Platform):

Saw an alternative today - https://github.com/vinceanalytics/vince . Main thing is it doesn't require Clickhouse...

Does look cool and more freedom-orientated.

We also have this that I know many people would like to see:

@LoudLemur From what I've seen, I think NodeBB, Discourse, and Flarum are all brilliant for their own reasons — so we live in amazing times to have all these options.

I think it always comes down to what features are important to the Admins.

Thankfully NodeBB is still super simple, and created a thriving Cloudron community there.

Flarum I think is also amazing, very aesthetically pleasing, and I'll always have a soft-spot for php-based apps.

TBH, if I were choosing for my own use, I think it would be difficult to beat Discourse for features and maturity, but Flarum certainly has a few things the other's don't, especially some of the nice looking plugins for things like Subscriptions and Private forum areas, which I haven't seen in NodeBB.

@humptydumpty Perhaps. I don't know that anyone would want to go through migrating the Cloudron forum, as it works well enough, but I can see for new setups Flarum looks like a mature and considered platform, and likely will attract more Cloudron subscribers for having it.

Could be easier to manage, being php, too.

Did you get these working?

Just revisited Flarum - really is a nice forum to use, with some interesting extensions:

• https://flarum.org/scenario/flarum-as-helpdesk
• https://flarum.org/scenario/flarum-as-influencer-community
• https://flarum.org/scenario/flarum-as-web3-community
• https://flarum.org/extensions?tableSortColumn=downloads&tableSortDirection=desc

Wow. Looks just like Discord (obviously deliberate copy) but based on Matrix (and ActivePub?). Admire the aims:

Lovely web design, too:

Just seen Coolify made the cut, and well-deserved, I'm sure:

Nice, but a shame it doesn't allow for extra Admin users.

@marylou WordPress plugins, eg: https://wordpress.org/plugins/eventon-lite/

@girish That's sad. Their Discord has been inactive for a few years now, though. Shame, very innovative and useful product. I still don't think anyone's really solved elastic hosting setups as well as they did.

@igaudette It could be other factors, like the complexity of the app to package and maintain. Votes is just one indicator.

From what I can see, there's also a lot of testing time that goes into packaging apps, and many hit blockers that need upstream issues solved before progress can continue.

To make what should be simple and reliable for the Cloudron app user, a lot of quality control work needs to be done by the Cloudron app packager.

@joseph That is likely the free tier on the SaaS version. Open-source would be hosted on your own domain, so one would hope able to generate links on your own domain, too. Nobody really knows until the time is put into investigating.
