Cloudron Forum

Appsmith is a JavaScript-based visual development platform to build and launch internal tools quickly. Use pre-built UI widgets, connect them to your APIs and databases to build dynamic apps and complex workflows.

So I think like many here I like Open Source Software & yet here I am using a proprietary piece to run it.

I understand why Cloudron is closed. @girish @nebulon need to earn a living & this seems to be the best way for now.

My concern is mainly if you guys get offered $$$ to sell Cloudron to some big corp, or you find you're not making enough and need to do something else.

I was wondering if you were familiar with the concept of 'Exit to community'

Basically what Blender did, if you decide to sell then the community gets the first refusal. You name the price, if the price is met you sell the company to the community and the code is <likely> open-sourced.

It doesn't seem like you want to sell the company right now, & I'm not sure if the community even has the funds/ organsation needed to make a coherent bid.

Both of those things may change over time.

Would you be willing to make an in-principle statement that if/when you decide to sell, that you'd invite offers from the community in the first instance? Give us a couple of months to get our shit together?

People seem to hate Reddit this week. Most large subreddits will close for a couple of days next week

@girish I'm tempted not to.

I think my position is that Authentik is the better app, which would provide everything that Keycloak does.

I wonder if https://gitcoin.co/how/funder might be a useful tool to help get software packaged?

A new Github issue queue could be set up for App requests?

Is Gitcoin something @staff have considered?

@girish

Just to update https://github.com/njsubedi/cloudron-keycloak seems to be working well so far.

Configured Nextcloud, Humhub & Rocketchat to use it.

Use case would be where I'm moving a subset of users to a new server.

This subset of users is in a Cloudron group.

I export the list of user emails and use that to invite them to the new Cloudon instance.

Integration with https://amberlink.org/ would be interesting.

I gave up on Baserow when I realised any user could delete all the data (by design) https://community.baserow.io/t/protect-users-from-deleting-table-and-or-database/1282/10?u=sam_uk

Been playing with Nocodb which is OK, but I don't love it.

Someone mentioned this too me today, so here I am bumping it.

So I made a N8N flow that takes user-submitted email addresses from a form.io form.

I can create users and generate the signup emails, however, I'm stuck at adding them to groups

My flow is below, can anyone shed any light?

@timconsidine is there anything we can do to help progress this? https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith/issues/14331

Actually if I change the default from public, I can then access permissions which then allow me to make them public.

Bit weird/clunky but it does now work.

I recently had SCIM www.simplecloud.info recommended to me as a way to workaround the removal of group sync in the Rocketchat free version.

Of particular interest to Cloudron users is this repo https://lab.libreho.st/libre.sh/scim Which seems to provide tools for integration with Keycloak/ Nextcloud/ Discourse/ Rocketchat/ Matrix/

Still in the research phase, but it looks pretty interesting. There's a Docker build here: https://github.com/GluuFederation/docker-scim

Hi great to see this! Thanks @nebulon @girish.

I'll do a bit of testing and then consider moving my instances back into Cloudron.

If anyone is checking it out for the first time I'd recommend installing the clean theme module by @cuzy-app and then setting to /clean-contrasted in /admin/setting/design. The default theme is a bit 2003 to my eyes.

The admin UI in particular could use some UX work, but there's a lot I like about Humhub. I'm running two instances of it. One of them is public at https://vive.transitiontogether.org.uk

There's some research done on adding ActivityPub for Mastodon compatibility.

Also worth mentioning https://community.humhub.com/ as a good place to get support.

This looks a bit saner https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/143

Bump.

Eventbrite are charging for free ticketed events with over 25 tickets, so there may be renewed interest in this.

@andreasdueren @girish Has there been any progress in getting addons to work?

This list of Docker containers seems comprehensive, if a little overwhelming: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/master/docs/container-images.md

Since the latest update it no longer fails. It doesn't do what I want (embed the calendar in a page) but that's Ghost's problem, not Cloudrons.

https://inner.transitionmovement.org/calendar/

@girish So the use case would be where I'm moving a subset of users to a new server.

This subset of users is in a Cloudron group.

I export the list of user emails and use that to invite them to the new Cloudon instance.
