Hi everyone, I just launched https://easyindie.app to promote the idea of self-hosting via ‘one-click install’ systems like Cloudron, Caprover, and Yunohost. Any feedback is welcome and the code is open-source.
Hope this encourages more people to own their data.
thanks to everyone for the feedback, great to hear you are receptive to the idea.
i'm personally super excited to get cloudron working for myself, it feels like the slickest and most robust option. i had it working but i need to save up so i can purchase the full version. congrats to this community on creating something so awesome and empowering with a sustainable business model too, y'all are trailblazers.
@girish Interesting, there seem to be many 'alternative' lists like this:
but BTW focuses on open-source. None seem to focus on 'easy to install' though…
@timconsidine thanks! it's actually 'comfortable text reading width' which i carry over from blogging and writing, but i might want to rethink this as it's not text-based ;).
i need to also have other options for going through the list, i never thought people would 'go through' it, assumed that people search for what they know already.
thanks again for all your great feedback. i have truly underestimated how important it is to browse via list and will make sure to add that next and let you all know. i actually had that working before and took it out! 
re: the discussion about comparing platforms, i thought i had built in a filter for platforms but apparently i didn't, so i quickly deployed that now. you can search for 'yunohost' for example and see the apps that are there. might be easier to spot which ones aren't yet on cloudron. and of course there is the export of project data https://easyindie.app/projects.json for those who like to wrangle json.
The number one feedback from various communities is to show the apps as a list instead of icons, made a small update for this today. Hope it's easier to navigate:
@jdaviescoates The "App Passwords" is a pretty amazing feature, didn't know about that. I tried it and it works well, but it's still possible to login with the main account. I guess I worry that if someone can brute force guess the main account via one app, then it compromises all the apps…
@girish the icons are a bit shaky, i'm trying to fetch them and serve them from my domain, but i had deployment issues and wasn't able to fix it in time. hey it works on localhost 
hmm the deep linking is a good idea, i was more focused on making sure people install because i think the cloudron interface is excellent and will carry the rest of the way. thanks for the info will make a note for later.
@jdaviescoates Makes sense, I forgot about that option.
It seems to allow me to login only via a specified account which is great, but if I try to move my data from the old installation via Cloudron backup, I get this error:
Invalid configuration for YOURLS LDAP plugin. Check PHP error log.
Maybe it's copying the Access Control settings for the app?
@girish said in Disable Cloudron user login:
go to the filemanager of the new instance and delete the
/app/data/user/plugin/yourls-ldap-pluginand see if that helps.
Bingo! That was what I needed. It was actually a symlink and not possible to delete via the file manager, but I was able to rm yourls-ldap-plugin via the shell and then restart the app. Works as desired now, thank you 
I changed the "User management" section in Cloudron to enable only one specific (non-superadmin) user, but it seems like I can still login with the superadmin credential. Is this by design?
There's also https://community.tt-rss.org/t/typeerror-window-requestidlecallback-is-not-a-function/1755/26
To ‘just make it work’ on a server:
Create themes-local/local-overrides.js
Put a content of https://github.com/pladaria/requestidlecallback-polyfill/blob/master/index.js 97 there (a polyfill for this property).
Done

I was trying to avoid using the Cloudron user to sign into YOURLS so I set the Access Control to an empty group with no users. After restarting the app it seems that it still signs in with the Cloudron admin user. How can I disable this?
I worry that by using the Cloudron password for each app, it might become a security issue if any one app has low security. Is that something I should be concerned about?

I tried restoring a backup created on a non-Cloudron installation and it seems to hang or have javascript errors. Also seems like the instance is generally a bit slow. Has anyone tried this before on Cloudron? Are there any known issues (like overwriting the admin email to something not created by Cloudron)? If my DigitalOcean instance has 2GB of RAM and I have other software on my Cloudron, do I have to add more RAM?

@girish ok i was on the initial setup and i had to click 'show advanced settings' and then set the subdomain to the zone.
a simple hint after the error with something like your message would be super helpful on that page. i'm super busy right now but could try a merge request if that would be welcome.
i appreciate the quick help, thank you.
