Extraordinary Results for All
What do you all think about having a regular weekly event to package an important App as a group in a live session, maybe even live streamed, where anyone on the call can also contribute their small part, so one person doesn't have to slog through it all by themselves?
Others can watch and learn and ask questions & chit chat.
Any volunteers?
Rob here (robi is my Croatian nickname and often computer username) for those in other cultures, short for Robert.
As a Strategic Advisor and (Business & Innovation) Catalyst, I'm mostly a full stack janitor 
As a leader in several startups, I reserve a keen eye for emerging technologies (hi Cloudron and it's Apps); I have been a speaker, mentor, advisor for Google, NASA, IBM, and many more, finding safe, creative solutions all the way from the mundane to the complex with equal ease, which is one thing that keeps my passion ignited.
Remember WinAmp? Yeah, I was there during the mp3 revolution, in the credits until the recent reshuffle.
I've invented a bunch of stuff, including the first PCIe flash storage device in small form factor (SFF), now you'll recognize it as the M.2 PCIe SSD device for which there is now a slot on every motherboard being made. (didn't make a dime.)
Made core discoveries (read blunders) in physics (magnetism, light, water), mathematics, statistics, AI, ML, medicine, law, etc, which you can ask me about outside this thread.
3 decades ago I got bitten by the sysadmin bug and never left, despite all the C level gigs.
After 15 years, I am still on the board of directors for https://BayLISA.org which is one of the oldest meetups in Silicon Valley. We've had the Cloudron team speak at one of our meetups which should be online on YT.
I play a long running pickup soccer game every Saturday (same folks come out for 8+ years) and tennis 1-2 times a week if possible. Love ping pong and ultimate frisbee too.
If you want to see a small part of my other crazy projects, see https://venture.toldyouso.com
Otherwise a few here have found me on Twitter.
There's more, but that's plenty for now 
Currently the way to roughly clean up some backups we don't want taking up space is to change the retention policy for a while, then come back later and change it back.
It would be nice to have a delete function for individual backups w/o having to shorten the policy.
Porter is a Kubernetes powered PaaS that runs in your own cloud provider.
Repository: https://github.com/porter-dev/porter
Porter is an alternative to Heroku that spins up the underlying infrastructure in your own cloud provider. The complexity of the underlying infrastructure is abstracted away from you just like Heroku, but you can fully control the underlying infra when you need to (as your applications scale and "grow out" of the platform).
What is Snikket?
Snikket is a messaging platform that is different to the mainstream messaging apps. Instead of entrusting your conversations and messages with proprietary servers “in the cloud” that analyze and sell your data, we like to do things a little differently.
Snikket lets you run your own service, that you control, on the system of your choice. For many people this is a cheap private server (VPS) or even a Raspberry Pi.
Instead of your messaging app connecting to hidden far-away servers managed and owned by a large corporation, your Snikket app will connect directly to your personal Snikket server.

Our plans for PeerTube v4
April 13, 2021
In the PeerTube v3 release blogpost, we announced that we wouldn't resort to crowdfunding to finance PeerTube's development in 2021.
We are glad to announce that a big part of PeerTube v4 will be funded through an NLnet grant under their "Search and discovery" program (find here their page on PeerTube).
We plan to develop PeerTube's v4 all along 2021, with our main focus on customizing the experience so that instance administrators, content creators and users can display and discover the videos to their liking.
We truly believe that empowering instance administrators and content creators to customize their instances and channels is a great way forward to help PeerTube users to find and identify the videos they want to watch.
Such customization will have a direct impact on search, and on search results. Moreover we plan to extend the search scope to playlists so they can be displayed in search results. We also plan to improve search result pages with a more ubiquitous sorting/filter system and a better interface.
PeerTube's v4 main features
Here are the main "customization" features we plan to be working on:
Sorting/filter system on pages that list videos
Customize left menu for instances (through plugin API)
Customize homepage for instances (through a markup system)
Customize channels for content creators
Incentives to complete instance/channel attributes (i.e. descriptions, images, terms of service, etc.)
We also plan to work on frequently asked improvements such as:
Adding playlists to search scope (on PeerTube instance and Sepia Search)
Subscription to channels/accounts from an instance
Coordination with, support and contributions to external developments (clients, plugin, etc.)
More details on our plans can be found on the PeerTube Github page. Please note that these are the main features and developments. They can evolve due to circumstances, contributions, timings, etc. To be informed of any change, subscribe to PeerTube newsletter.
Managing expectations
This is already a lot, and we can't wait to implement those features!
That being said, we understand that lots of people have lots of expectations for PeerTube. But we won't uphold and develop them all, as we are not a tech giant, not even a startup.
Framasoft is a small French not for profit of 35 members, and has made the choice not to overgrow. We want to stay at 10 employees tops, even though we manage more than 80 different projects (OK, PeerTube is one the biggest ones, but it is still one of eighty projects).
We have only one developer dedicated to PeerTube (not even full time), helped by others in our team (design, administration, communication, etc.). Maintaining PeerTube means lots of different tasks (learn more about it here in our FAQ), and we don't want him (or anyone else, for that matter) to burn himself out to fulfill everyone's expectations.
So if our plans for 2021 and PeerTube's v4 don't match your priorities, that's completely OK, but we won't do more nor go faster. Remember that you are free to fork PeerTube to lead it in another direction, or to contribute by coding plugins and issues (get started on contributing here).
Thanks for the support
We really want to thank the PeerTube community for its work and support. We also want to thank NLnet for their grant that will fund the major part of our work on PeerTube this year, thus relieving us from having to organize a dedicated crowdfunding in 2021.
While most of our roadmap for PeerTube is covered by NLnet's donation, the rest will come from our own budget. Framasoft is funded by grassroots supporters who give us money for all our actions and projects.
If you want to support PeerTube, you can support Framasoft with a donation, but also by helping others to discover and learn more about PeerTube and our projects: sharing is caring!
I was always hosting my own things since the first linux install back in the early 90s. When I came across Sandstorm I thought it was the bees knees, but it was far from pleasant to use with all the rough security and then the project shutdown! (for a while).
I actually called up the founder since I knew of him, and had a chat about it.. he was rearranging his life as he went to work for Cloudflare.
Shortly after I found Cloudron and haven't had to look back at anything else.
I even had @girish give a presentation on the mighty Cloudron at our meetup BayLISA. It was very impressive.
SO in some small way I am responsible for infecting a bunch of BayLISA members with the Cloudron bug and run 3 different Cloudrons myself spanning hundreds of domains now. Go Cloudron.
MediaCMS is a modern, fully featured open source video and media CMS, written in Python/Django and React, featuring a REST API.
It is developed to meet the needs of modern web platforms for viewing and sharing media. It can be used to build a small to medium video and media portal within minutes.

While it's still in beta and has rough edges with hardcoded paths and not working well behind a reverse proxy yet, we should keep track of the progress.
@d19dotca you're right.. don't use the image, and just get a clean ubuntu VM and install the right version you need so the install time restore works as expected.
@d19dotca just install it, and run the update. Or wait a day and it will auto update.
@enabl-ist can you update the top post with these relevant links for cloudron? It will get more votes that way.
@luckow Sounds like this could be adapted to a Cloudron App having it install in the appropriate directories for 'w' and 'ro' filesystems.
@ruihildt Happy to, but I'll need some help from @girish or @nebulon as this thread is old enough and got locked for edits.
@murgero Then we only need one LAMP app with a few PHP versions for all.
@nebulon Can multiple PHP versions be included in the same image?
Then the apps choose what to run.
It looks like my friends at Aporeto.com got acquired by PaloAlto Networks. They have an OSS projects called Trireme - https://github.com/aporeto-inc
Trireme, an open-source library curated by Aporeto to provide cryptographic isolation for cloud-native applications. Trireme-lib is a Zero-Trust networking library that makes it possible to setup security policies and segment applications by enforcing end-to-end authentication and authorization without the need for complex control planes or IP/port-centric ACLs and east-west firewalls.
Trireme-lib supports both containers and Linux processes as well user-based activation, and it allows security policy enforcement between any of these entities.
A good tool for Cloudron as well as securing LDAP across machines.
@marcusquinn someone was doing some thinking, and then made it happen.
We can do the same with rclone and cloudron volumes individually, until we get multi-cloudron
