An open source project management tool with Kanban boards
https://github.com/JordanKnott/taskcafe

Not sure how it compares to other tools, but thought people might be interested.

@nebulon
The domain is hosted with bluehost, I think I have it set up so that it should forward to my cloudron. I am going to check.

@girish when installing I do not think I a bear domain. I specified "ether.mysitename.com"

thanks for the help. I am actually trying again. I am wondering if I did not wait long enough.
Thank you

I am trying to install etherpad to a wildcard domain and I am getting the following error:

An error occurred during the install operation: DNS Error: DNS Record is not synced yet: queryNs ECONNREFUSED mysitename.com

I feel like this might be something simple I am missing, but I am not finding anything. Ideas?

@scooke How did it go?

@robi very cool.

Rukovoditel: Project Management, CRM, EDR, Helpdesk

Had never heard of this. Has been around and actively developed for the past 6 years. Seems similar to Oodo.

Open source. But extensions cost $250

Available in PHP but there is a beta docker available that came out earlier this year.

Thank you!"

I remember seeing this come across my radar a few years ago and loving the idea!

@timconsidine
Thats great.

It might be that if you are selfhosting it, you really only need to have one server local server to test speed. I am also curious how it works as the demo gives different server options

Remote control -Remote scripting- Scheduled Scripts - Integrated chat

Remotely Open Source
https://remotely.one/
https://github.com/immense/Remotely

How It Works

The Remotely client has two parts: the service and the remote control. The service is responsible for maintaining a persistent connection to the server and executing remote commands. The remote control is launched as needed for remote control sessions.

Both applications make outgoing websocket connections over secure SSL/TLS protocol. Because the connections are outgoing, you don't need to open any ports in your firewall, and the service won't accept any incoming connections.

The Remotely service will register with your Remotely organization ID, which is generated when you create your account or join an existing organization. On the first connection, the service generates a separate unique ID and sends it to the server. Upon each subsequent connection, the server must send back that ID before anything else, or else the service will uninstall itself immediately. This is an additional layer of security that ensures the service is communicating with the original server.

Users and computers are grouped into an organization, and they can't interact with resources outside their organization. Microsoft's Identity framework is used for all login and authentication to verify users.

Notable Features
• Support for Windows and Linux devices
• Unattended and attended access
• Remote scripting for Windows PowerShell, PowerShell Core, Bash, and CMD
• Optional WebRTC for secure peer-to-peer screen transfer on Windows agents, which reduces load on the server
• Drag-and-drop file transfer
• Remote audio streaming (Windows only)
• Bi-directional clipboard sharing
• Custom branding for desktop apps
• Integrated chat
• Scheduled scripts
• Device alerts
• 2-factor authentication

Does not work on MAC.

@jdaviescoates This seems like one of the most robust options. And the built in LMS looks pretty amazing.

I wonder if the server enables selective syncing specific folders. That has been missing for me.

@tamayers I was curious how your experimentation went?

@thetomester13 said in Text expander with cloud sychronization:

However, this is a desktop application, and syncing happens through a config file that can be stored on the cloud, but needs no special server. So I don't know that this is something that can be packaged for Cloudron.

It looked like a good alternative to what I have used and I liked that it had sync. I posted it in the discussion area and not the app wish list area for the reasons you mentioned.

@marcusquinn I am interested in what you are developing. For inspiration, one place I am interested in is on boarding. Here is an interesting app https://www.guidecx.com/

Stumbled upon this and thought people might be interested.

What is a Text Expander?

A text expander is a program that detects when you type a specific keyword and replaces it with something else. This is useful in many ways:

Save a lot of typing, expanding common sentences.
Create system-wide code snippets.
Execute custom scripts
Use emojis like a pro.

Of course I am curious if folks are already using something like this.

@marcusquinn I am not sold on it, but I figured I would share it here for people to discuss. I am also interested in other options. I am particularly interested in interesting recruiting and onboarding apps.

I realize folks are looking at how this space devlops, but I thought I would share this baserow release info I just stumbled upon

This is a Human Capital Management system. The system has an in-built free and open source onboarding software. The HCM software also comes preloaded with other important HR functions such as payroll data maintenance, employee details (History, Skills), travel expenses, resource booking, time and leave management, and so on. The software was the brainchild of a set of developers who’d understood the limitations of many functioning HR systems in the market. The latest version is 3.0.13.

Always on the look out for stuff like this.

@jeau Agreed
There is also Scalar
https://guides.library.illinois.edu/scalar

Not sure how this compares, but it has a nice video learning and video commenting module that could be very useful.

https://github.com/EGroupware/egroupware/wiki
https://www.egroupware.org/en/egroupware-applications

"EGroupware offers an online calendar for appointment management, contact management with CRM, tasks, emails and project management, as well as an online file server..... supplemented by the integration of chat, video conferencing and remote desktop modules to create a sophisticated home office solution."

What looked particularly interesting is the:
" Video-based learning with smallPART

Posting here so it is in the Wishlist library. Not sure how it compares to others.

Very cool to seeing Omeka on the horizon! This platform is used by many who need a turn key solution like Cloudron

Has anyone played around with this?

Great thread!

I stumbled up this today so I figured I would share it here as it can sync using nextcloud and that could prove useful for Cloudron users. You are able to format and view notes differently than joplin. I was impressed with Joplin's web clipper. Joplin's biggest asset is it has a huge following. There are alot of plugins being developed to broaden what you can do with it.

It looks like select whether each notwork is local or not. I am not sure if you can do that with joplin. Here is a link to the android app.

@timconsidine
It looks like a good option.

@robi I have had the same experience, discovering a message that was sent to me months before.

I had not thought about using a PTT service. I think the one that shows the most promise with a quick glance is the discord sandbox, as discord allows people to communicate via text and also send files. But then there is the issue that is it active for some ( the tech savy) but passive for the people who are not.
Thanks for the info. I am going to look into it deeper.

@atrilahiji I have seen elsewhere in the forum, that you are knowledgeable about Moodle. Do you think what I am thinking is possible even if a little crazy?

@msbt Opps. Yesterday was a long day...

Not sure I know what to do. I think I will try and delete it to avoid confusion.

I am always curious why turtl is not more popular. It does not seem like it has been updated much in the past few yeas. But it does have an android app

@cloudron-n said in Obvious noob questions (apologies):

does Cloudron keep NextCloud up to date?

This is part of the magic that makes Cloudron such a great platform. Nextcloud is integrated

This page describes how it works
https://docs.cloudron.io/updates/

I am a part of a small organization that is interested in soliciting feedback from the community. There is added interest in providing the option for people to give feedback and answer questions by either voice or video. I am curious if anyone knows any open source tools to achieve this. Even better if it can be achieved through Cloudron somehow.

The way this often happens it the user's browser asks for access to the smartphone or pc's mic/camera and a message is recorded and saved.

Here is an example a services:
https://www.phonic.ai/

While there is interested in using a tool like this for a survey, there is also interested in being able to exchange audio and video messages instead relying on in-person meetings and typing corrispondence when seeing to the administrative needs of the organization. People who cannot type well or who experience typing fatigue end up not participating as much. In fact we have lost a number of members as a result of this.

Rocketchat allows someone to send a audio message, but unless the person names it properly the audio message gets buried. Also rocketchat is best for "live" discourse. The organization is more accustomed to the pace of email and forums. These are much more passive forms of communication.

Much of the organization's activity revolves around hosting workshops. This past year has been a struggle. With the pandemic, we have moved towards hosting these workshops virtually. Mostly through Zoom. People being familiar with the platform and also break-out rooms were a deciding factor that lead to adopting zoom. But giving the nature of these activities, many of us wonder about using a LMS like Canvas or Moodle to host workshops or utilize a service like bigbluebutton. In addition to being able host the workshop, we believe this would enable us to more easily archive material. But also, many of these platforms provide the ability for teachers and students to submit audio/video content and responses related to material and classes. Teachers and students benefit from these tools because they help make learning more dynamic, but we also wonder if those tools might be able to help us use audio and video as a part of administrative and planning work. For instance, create a class instance within moodle, and use it much like an organizing forum.

Personally, I am always on the lookout for community/ social platforms that provide the tools to connect and organize around goals. I realize that there is not going to be just one tool, but a collection of tools.

But I would love to hear any ideas people might have about tools that might help.

@scooke said in Bitwarden_rs:

Scaleway Object Storage, where you get 75GB free.

Wow . Never heard of them, but that is a good price.

@msbt
I am not sure what you ended up going with. But here are some thoughts. It seems like something like https://artcall.org/ might be helpful. It might have a self hosted alternative. Not sure how much customization they allow.

It might be helpful to look at what academic institutions and museums use. While there are others, here are some off the top of my head to give you an idea of what I am talking about.

https://omeka.org/
Omeka S:For institutions managing a sharable resource pool across multiple sites

Omeka Classic:
For individual projects and educators

Or something like Arches:
Arches is an open source software platform freely available for cultural heritage organizations to independently deploy to help them manage their cultural heritage data.
https://www.archesproject.org/

I would be interested in what you end up using.

@jdaviescoates Nice find

thank you. I am still a pretty big novice with all of this. Hard trusting myself as the system administrator of something that handles passwords.

@atrilahiji It looks like there are some interesting ways to convert issues into articles as apart of a knowledge base.

@jdaviescoates
I came here specifically to share this.... and of course you beat me to it. So I am instead saying thanks for sharing!

So I am curious how bitwarden is working for folks?

YouTrack comes across my radar every so often. I believe that several people using it as a project manager and community knowledge base because it is very customizable.

I have also read that it is lightweight compared to JIRA....

I have considered trying to use it in that way,

Not sure how it compares... but thought I would add it:

Just stumbled upon this and I figured I would see if anyone here had posted. And sure enough someone had! To add to the thread.... looks like someone created a docker for Mesh central.

@marcusquinn Thanks. It is nice when someone has personal experience. I believe there were issues with Odoo and cloudron that made it difficult to package. I also believe there has been some discussion of ERPnext here as well. Will look further

@jdaviescoates Thanks for sharing. I knew I had read things about volumes being expanded in cloudron.

I have long wanted a google alternative for photos. I hope that the photoprism is found to alleviate the privacy concerns mentioned prior in this thread. I would still be a little concerned about uploading all of my photos online. But a selection for photoprism to work its magic on. That would be nice.

I would really love a way to extend volumes to a pc at home or at the office.

What an awesome find
