@girish thanks for packaging Ollama ! I can confirm that it works for auto-tagging

1. From the Ollama app terminal, get the IP with ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -Fv 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}'
2. Add the IP to the variable NEXT_PUBLIC_OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL + :11434 in the Linwarden env file. Ex. http://172.18.16.199:11434
3. Follow Ollama docs to pull a model and the follow Linkwarden docs https://docs.linkwarden.app/self-hosting/ai-worker and https://docs.linkwarden.app/Usage/ai-tagging to enable the feature.

• Summary: LAUTI is a calendar software where one can publish events, groups and places. It is intended for use in cities or areas. It features a public event list, a group list, a place list, all available as RSS and ICAL feeds. Adding events, groups and places is only granted to registered organizations or individuals. Invitation links can be easily generated. Admins can create own highly customizable frontends/themes based on go templates, markdown files, css and javascript in the admin area. The admin area features a basic messaging system, user management, tags and management of event categories and topics. LAUTI also provides a public Rest API and runs as progressive web app.

• Notes: After nearly 4 years of development for eintopf.info, LAUTI release v1.0 was shipped on 1.May 2025. To make LAUTI appealing to a broader audience, we included a theming module and multi-language support.

• Summary: Deploy your website with a single HTTP request or a git push. git-pages is an application that serves static websites from either filesystem or an S3 compatible object store and updates them when directed by the site author through an HTTP request. The server scales linearly from a personal instance running on a Raspberry Pi to a highly available, geographically distributed cluster powering Grebedoc. It is written in Go and does not depend on any other services, although most installations will use a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx to serve sites using the https:// protocol.

• Notes: Stable and able to scale, as the Codeberg Pages backend switches to git-pages (https://docs.codeberg.org/codeberg-pages/).

That's grant ! Thank you very much. I would like see if my wish from https://forum.cloudron.io/post/119520 could already be implemented in the package ? No pressure ️

Hello. That's very kind of you. As a start, maybe an easy one. I was currently in touch with the developer of ControlR. He was very optimistic about the feasibility to get it on Cloudron via Github actions from his repo. The project is taking off right now so there was a lot on his plate. Maybe you could have a look?

https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/14995/controlr-remote-control-and-remote-access

Seems impossible

https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-i-use-multiple-hostnames/136306

Maybe it would be nice to show this in the App Store, like with badges or something... We chose Discourse over NodeBB for no apparent reason. Maybe it would have made a difference.

@joseph I hit 50968 empty directories Is there a way to solve this as it hinders proper backup processes ? Thanks

P.S.: I think the issue is discussed here: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/46425

Edit: I deleted the content of the preview folder with rm -r app/data/appdata_*/preview/* and then ran sudo -u www-data php -f /app/code/occ files:scan-app-data as suggested in the link above. Ended up with 129 empty directories.

Littr is an MIT licensed link aggregator software inspired by the old reddit. It integrates the fediverse through FedBOX. It has a clean and simple brutalist interface -> Demo Site.

• Lobsters
• Postmill
• Prismo
• Lemmy
• Plebbit

Hello.

I suggest to add an entry to the ntfy docs to explain how to make UnifiedPush work. Basically, one needs to apply this lines to the app/data/config/server.yml:

auth-access:
  - "everyone:up*:write-only"

c.f. https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#example-unifiedpush

It could also be a setting applied by default.

Done : https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7316/littr-link-aggregator-with-activitypub-integration
With the number of alternatives beeing suggested it would be a good start to compare the different options. I can see these characteristics coming around :
Hacker News or Reddit Clone | Moderation Style | Production Ready | ActivityPub | etc...
