Cloudron Forum

@girish Thanks. Looking forward. Would it be possible to include my little request with the update ? c.f. https://forum.cloudron.io/post/111958

Hello. I would like to incude the following emoji set in my Discourse instance: https://mutant.tech/ (or more: twemoji | openmoji). And remove the existing ones as well.

There's a folder which holds the included emoji sets at app/code/public/images/emoji/. Is it possible to link this folder to an emoji folder under app/data/ in order to add custom sets ?

Is that even possible without a change in the Discourse package ?

Thx

Hi @james

Do you suggest uninstalling all manually added plugins which will be bundled in the coming Discourse v3.5 ? To do so, I guess one has to delete the repo and rebuild the app ?

Hi @hjball Nice to see you on the forum ! I did not package an app myself yet but I'm sure one off the staff members (@girish @nebulon @joseph @james) can answer all questions in that regard.

@jdaviescoates

In the end I settled on a DokuWiki with the minimal template. It is sleek and does the job. A documentation CMS would still lower the entry level though.

Maybe this account of packaging for coolify brings us a step closer: https://anthonyly.dev/docs/dev/coolify/add-coolify-service/

The Atheos IDE works perfectly as well. Basically one has only to unszip the repo into app/data/public/

wget https://github.com/Atheos/Atheos/archive/refs/tags/v601.tar.gz
tar -xvzf v601.tar.gz 
mv Atheos-601/* public/
rm -r Atheos-601
chown -R www-data:www-data public/*

I wanna give a try to https://radicle.xyz p2p git protocol and I managed to install the radicle-explorer. But that was actually the easy part ^^
Preamble: install a LAMP server and put the RAM GB up, otherwise Vite won't be able to build the site. Then, from the terminal move to the data folder

cd ..
cd data/

& start the installation

git clone https://rosa.radicle.xyz/z4V1sjrXqjvFdnCUbxPFqd5p4DtH5.git radicle-explorer
cd radicle-explorer/
cd config/
cp default.json local.json
cd ..
npm install
VITE_RUNTIME_CONFIG=true npm run build
cd ..
cp radicle-explorer/build/* public/

It's now up and running the online explorer of to the default radicle seeds: rosa.radicle.xyz; seed.radicle.xyz; iris.radicle.xyz

Settings

cp radicle-explorer/config/default.json public/config.json
nano public/config.json

Hello. Does it make sense to put together a list of apps which can be installed with the LAMP app; maybe in combination with a link to the setup instructions ?

I managed to get these working once:

• Berta CMS
• Automad CMS

@jdaviescoates The two setups which come close are Grav with the learn2 theme and MediaWiki eventually with the VisualEditor extension. Maybe Ghost can be on the list as well.

Hi. I would like to remove the /wiki/ in my site's URL: https:example.com/wiki/some_page -> https://example.com/some_page

I added two variables in app/data/LocalSettings.php:

$wgArticlePath = '/$1';
$wgScriptPath = '/';

After a restart, the https:example.com landing page loads but without any CSS style. All other pages behind /wiki/ did not "move" and do not exist at the new URLs.

On the mediawiki one step in the process is "Rename the installation directory of MediaWiki on your server from /wiki to /w [i.e. / in my case]." How can I do that ?

EDIT: with $wgScriptPath = ''; the stylesheet is loaded.

Here's a workaround via terminal: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/cheat-sheet/#file-ownership

@jdaviescoates said in Best privacy chat apps:

VC mentality? Signal is a non-profit.

No hard feelings. When something is backed by the wealth of a top 100 US fortune then saying that it's a non-profit is like playing the violin to me. I don't doubt that it is a non-profit but it just sounds like branding or and opportunistic decision. Maybe I'm just sceptical. VC and philanthropy go hand in hand but it's a societal model that I don't endorse.

One can of course focus on the tech and its promises. Then Signal clearly stands out compared to other products. But like the point about encryption, I disassociate "best" and "privacy" a little (topic title). I absolutely belive that
no useful Signal data can be retrieved from the AWS and Azure server, but nevertheless every user indirectly funnels money to these two unethical (at minima) corporations.

Once it's sufficiently private (a fundamental right), let's look at the broader picture as well. I see tech is a cultural product and the adjective "best" can be used in a holistic sense.

Just wanted to give a heads up for Threema in that regard.
Move slow and fix things ️

I never had WA and tried to profess matrix/element to friends and colleagues. Unfortunately, it was not reaching the expected standards as a messenger. I think matrix/elememt is still a great option for self hosting and in-house communication.

I now tried out Threema and it's perfect: encryption, very reliable, minimal metadata and no data retention. And to distinguish it with Signal: no VC mentality, transparent buisness model and running on their own servers instead of the AWS etc. In other words, it is software as a craft (vs. network effect).

The best in my opinion

P.S.: I think there are parts of Threema which could be self hosted.

A mobile and desktop app is under review on the roadmap.

I don't know. I'm not using Wekan. At first I thought that's a more complete project management software with Gantt etc., but I seem wrong
