From the notion-like thread, "Twake covers all of your organizational needs through a single platform".

Integrates in a single interface:

• Messaging
• Calendar
• Documents
• Tasks
• Smartphone apps

It was a startup with a closed-source product which was bought by Linagora (open source company providing dev for french gov, big companies, etc.).

I asked on their chat, and they plan to integrate it to open paas and keep a standalone version in parallel.

I'm pretty excited by this, it looks really good and the fact it's supported by an open source shop is even better.

A community fork has been gathering steam and is being actively developed:

Might be worth revisiting for potential packagers.

The value of Cloudron and why we pay a license is the appstore. So my naive person think that changing the platform code back to free software wouldn't affect negatively Cloudron business model.

It seems to me part of the reasoning to the license change was there wasn't much contribution to the platform anyway. I believe the same argument can be used to change it back to free software.

I'm sad not to be able to recommend Cloudron as the best open source paas since the license change.
It has in effect changed my relation to the project, from an invested advocate to a simple client.

Moving Cloudron back to free software would bring much needed positivity to 2020.

I'd like to suggest moving notifications to the main menu, in order to make it more accessible.

It may also be due to my light OCD which make me unable to live with unread notifications, I'm one of those inbox zero people.

There are two dockers repo recommended by Grocy:

(while I don't feel the need for such an app, maybe some people would like it )

Warning, it's a bit long.

I have whiteout some apps (mostly wordpress), because privacy. It's a mix of personal, test and client apps.

FYI, CPU usage is now stable and around 13%, more or less since Contabo did, and I quote their email, a "technical adjustement".

You can clearly see on that monthly CPU chart, how it evolved (granted it's early days, but still):

Not only this, but the dashboard now loads nearly instantly whereas beforehand, it could take up to 30 seconds.

Taking into account previous random issues with cheaper Contabo VPS in the past, I tend to think the issue was from Contabo from the start.

Right now with cloudron, some apps supports LDAP, some don't.

If I need to do a cloudron setup comprising apps that are all LDAP, I of course use LDAP in order to get one login to rule them all.

But if I do a cloudron setup where an app is not LDAP, I prefer to have all app not using LDAP.
It's confusing to have to explain to people that for those X apps, you need to use the same login, but for those X apps, it's separate logins, even though it's all based on the same main domain.

That's why I prefer to have both LDAP and non LDAP version of an app available.

In the case of Firefly, I think LDAP is even less useful, because it's personal finance and probably less useful in an organization context. For example, if I want to give a Firefly instance for a friend, I don't need to have an additional LDAP user. I'd prefer to have the friend has its own login with the app.

@d19dotca It's a Contabo VPS with the following specs:

• 8 cores
• 30gb guaranteed (at this point it's 15 gb used on average)
• 800GB SSD

It has to be noted though that none of these websites have high traffic.
For the wordpress, most have the default allocated, and I update according to the use. Mostly when there is a memory intensive operation (liek resizing some huge images, I sometimes put it up to 1gb, just ot be sure), as it's usually in burst it never has been an issue.

I use the free extension and it's already very good, but I'd prefer it wouldn't send a server everything I write.

@seeker
When I started using notes, I wanted to have them as text files in order to have them in a simple format and find the editor that would feel the most natural for my workflow.

I have used Joplin, Typora, Zettlr, FocusWriter. And I settled on Joplin for some time. I think I moved out because of sync issues and also because the interface was a bit too terse for my liking.

I then tried Obsidian.md (and its extension) which blew out all of these, but unfortunately is not free software.

This experience changed my priorities, and I moved to Trilium because as it's not text based, you can use advanced workflow (for example, create everyday a note with the current date, but the best is to check out the demo content from Trilium), have notes appearing in multiple place in a tree structure (which I discovered was important for me) and is super scriptable.

Check out this mad person turning Trilium notes into a CMS: https://wingysam.xyz/posts/tePIFQKUbTQ3

I also hoped there would be an android app, but it's not the case. The mobile version is really usable though, so eventually I'd like to help make it a PWA.

@girish It would good to have a separated state for "not responding", which is an error state, and those stopped, which are by choice.

@jdaviescoates Maybe I'm too naive, but I don't see what would be an argument not to have an app on the store?

If I'm not interested, then I don't upvote it. I see that section more as a gauge of the number of people interested in it.

@jdaviescoates When this came out, the license was not Common Clause.

But now that we know the license and indeed Cloudron can redistribute it, I'm all for this to be ported here.

Today, after the update to latest cloudron version, I had between 15-20 apps in a failed state.

Clicking the repair fixed every one of them. And I had a client send me a message about downtime. I didn't look more into it, having spent at least 30 minutes going into each not responding app settings individually, clicking repair and waiting for it to successfully get back online. (And I wish there was a button to repair all apps at once^^)

As much as I agree with not bandaidging issues, for my client and my reputation, I wished not responding apps would have been repaired automatically and errors to be reported.

Between repairing an app and getting to run or start an asynchronous debugging on the forum, I'll always click on the repair button first.

If repairing is detrimental to bug solving/reporting, I would suggest to put a place where not responding logs/errors can be retrieved in one click.

The most perverse is that if you know you're watched, then you change your behaviour instead of behaving like yourself.
