• Title: Scrypted

• Main Page: https://scrypted.app/
• Git: https://github.com/koush/scrypted
• Licence: See individual project directories for licensing, as it will vary throughout the repository. Some plugins may have dependencies that require GPL compliance.
• Dockerfile: No, but docker compose available
• Demo: Demo of Scrypted + Scrypted NVR: https://demo.scrypted.app/#/demo

• Summary: Scrypted is an open source video integration platform. Using various Plugins, Scrypted can receive streams from a range of cameras and send them to other platforms (HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant).

• Notes: Provide a gateway for a large number of integrations.
  Additionally but not part of the package: Scrypted NVR is a Scrypted plugin that can be locally installed. It provides 24/7 recording, smart detections, notifications, and accompanying mobile and desktop apps. The Scrypted NVR plugin is NOT open source (as far as I can tell) and subject to cost.

• Alternative to: e.g. Zoneminder

without hijacking the thread, I recently came accross this which I think could be considered as a potential alternative: https://www.scrypted.app/ and though it might be worth mentioning. while the core app is open-source and dockerizable, the NVR plug-in is not and subject to a subscription, as far as I can see.

Possibly this could make for another app in the wishlist, should there be interest.

@brerlapn @josephcosta Thanks for your suggestions - while I am aware of xbrowsersync / floccus, it does not quite fit what I am after and the gap that Firefox Sync Server would fill for me: Syncing browser parameters/extensions and session.
Hence my appreciation if ever Firefox Sync Server ever comes to Cloudron.

I would find this helpful.
Currently, I am using Syncthing to sync Librewolf portable between devices. However I still encounter regular conflicts - Nothing major, but just some annoyances I could do without. My biggest pain in this setup is the heavy limitation for cross platforming.
And so Firefox Sync would alleviate these pain points however minor or major they are. So would be welcome.

@andreasdueren on behalf of a potential user, yes it is - and I would very much like to see this in Cloudron App store too.

Thank you very much for your answers @froodle - Looking forward to more success for StirlingPDF.

Many thanks for your reply @froodle
I am still unclear on a couple of points, so hopefully you might be able to answer these already:

... is only for named login accounts. Any third party Auth like cloudron etc completely fine! And any general usage is also fine.
The aim is to price business features like SSO...

Is Cloudron OIDC authentication considered SSO? My understanding is that this creates named accounts in StirlingPDF. Is this correct?

Grandfathering will be in as well somewhat, a 500 user system won't crash or deny users or anything if it already has those users, it just won't allow new ones. But those 500 will function same as normal

Will there be a way to centrally managed these accounts (e.g. admin console) ? Will the grandfathering 500 limit change over time as older accounts are removed ?

Hopefully this makes sense - Thanks again for your help and product!

@zonzonzon the good word of @ekevu123 in a different thread:

The biggest issue is that the deployment needs to happen in one docker container only.

For postgres, you use this: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#postgresql

For local storage, this:
https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#localstorage

If you don't know how to use these add-ons, go here: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/manifest/

But essentially, if you can package it in one dockerfile only, creating the cloudron manifest is piece of cake.

Hopefully this helps a bit.

Some apps publish http/https public endpoints.

While Cloudron user management allows to manage the access to the dashboard listing (e.g. app proxy) and sometime the management of such apps (e.g. surfer app - not referring to the Cloudron operators role here), the public endpoint is left just as is: public.

In some scenario, it would be great to have the possibility to restrict access to these public endpoints too, to a different set of Cloudron authenticated users.

Something link: Create Surfer static app -> User Group A can access the _admin part, while User Group B can access the public/published part and all other access is restricted (no public access)

Here I am using the surfer app as an example, but ideally this would be applicable to any Cloudron app which has a free to access/public URL endpoint

I do not think that this is currently possible with Cloudron or is it?

Digging a bit deeper, I am wondering if the integration of something like vouch-proxy could be feasible.

It would lock a public URL endpoint behind a Cloudron authentication which is ultimately what I am looking for.

Hi @timconsidine - in passing, just wanted to thank you for your tenacity and willingness to get this packaged.
much appreciated.

Hi,

It looks like StirlingPDF is evolving and introducing user limits based on pricing-tier.

While it seems no all has been implemented yet and there are differences between the StirlingPDF website and the actual code, changes are coming.

It is not quite clear however how this will impact Cloudron and Cloudron users.

More info here for example:
https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/discussions/3577
https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/discussions/3987

Does Cloudron and Cloudron authentication with OIDC falls into the "3rd party authentication" category, or will this be a "named account system"?

Will there be a "grandfathering" approach?
How will this works with account management (e.g. set number of seat/user at the time of release, impact and management of user account deletion)?
What is the timeline on this?

@staff Do you have more info about this and the impact on Cloudron?
@froodle Can you provide more info on this?

This comes from a place of anticipation and willingness to support but within the realm and reality of each situation

Thanks in advance,

@AartJansen What protocol are you using to mount your drive in Cloudron?

You might want to look at the "ignore permissions" setting at the folder level in Syncthing to have things work properly.

Hi @James - Many thanks for this. The changes already looks great and promising.

May I make a suggestion ? I think, in this case, Freescout approach offers a greater granularity between email notification and in-app notification, with potential for further development based on the communication channel (Mobile if ever, API ? etc..), leaving the end admin users decide what works best for them

Here is the screen I am referring to in Freescout.

If it is not too late in the development of this, maybe it might be worth considering?

If it is as easy to package as @tachy make it seem to be, it could be an easy win adding this in the Cloudron App Store - Yet I am probably overlooking/not aware of some part of the process of adding an app in the Cloudron App Store.

Thanks @luckow - I need to digest this before I can offer meaningful feedback but on the surface, this is something that formalise how I approach things too.

And here is the link for us, LazyOnes

Nice! Thanks for this.

It seem like there is a new AI player, but it is not clear to me if they are using their own model or outsourcing this with their privacy measures.

Well, it seems as Lumo answered the question by itself:

Lumo uses a combination of Proton's proprietary AI models and carefully selected third-party models. This hybrid approach allows us to leverage specialized capabilities while maintaining our commitment to privacy and security. We integrate models from trusted providers like Mistral.ai and others, but all are adapted to work within our strict privacy framework. Our team at Proton also develops custom models to ensure we can offer unique features tailored to our users' needs.

This went by me in the last couple of days:

Here is where it is at:

It seem like there is a new AI player, but it is not clear to me if they are using their own model or outsourcing this with their privacy measures.

It seems very much like Kagi's assistant but European based:
https://kagi.com/assistant

However, I don't particularly appreciate the omission of Mistral.ai on their comparative table.

I am not entirely sure how the EuroStack initiative align with Cloudron underlying business approach.

Yet in principle Cloudron presents a lot of what this initiative is about and there is a lot of Cloudron apps supporting this (Nextcloud, CryptoPad, Mastodon etc...) already.

So maybe this is of interest/there is still some time to add Cloudron's name to this list:
https://eurostack.eu/250-signatories/

In turn, there is a published "EuroStack" Directory to European Cloud, Open Source, and Interoperable Digital Solutions:
