Cloudron Forum

This is not exactly what you desire, but very hopeful Matrix-based project here that might work. At least adds decentralized comments/responses as a nice embed.

@humptydumpty In addition to the self-hosted solution you can use their public backend server for free as well https://cactus.chat/docs/getting-started/quick-start/

I am almost sure you are already aware, but just incase thought I'd add that. Definitely good to know if you are in a pinch and can't run one yourself! I believe it simply lets your own matrix user become a moderator for any rooms created by your comment sections.

Cheers

@subtlecourage Let me work on this tomorrow. This tutorial doc makes it seem very simple, let's hope I didn't just jynx myself.

A counter-argument to adding this to cloudron might be that we are adding attack surface to what is essentially financial infrastructure. Some of Cloudron's apps might not have ever been security audited on the upstream side (unless this is an app requirement I am not aware of). Cloudron devs seem to push major updates quickly and support auto updating out-of-the-box, so that definitely helps. Again, I just think for powerful financial software like this it's important to consider. Multi-host cloudron is around the corner too.

Also keep in mind we already have this nice official tool that will produce a custom one-liner to install on a brand new VPS: install.btcpayserver.org They even offer the ability to SSH into the server for you via that webapp (I'm not sure if this is client or server side since wasm exists), although I feel more comfortable with the manual script option myself. It might also be neat if Cloudron borrowed from this approach.

I still think it is a great option for Cloudron, don't get me wrong. Researching and packaging a good user-friendly SOC stack might be where I look next if I'm not getting too far ahead of myself. Apps like Grafana + Prometheus + Metabase are already on cloudron so that's nice

You can post exactly which machine you are looking at, but I believe the auctions are all dedicated servers so you should be good there. You will be given SSH credentials that will let you remotely login and run those commands. The Cloudron setup should guide you from there. Good luck

Would love to see an option to pay with BTC or other cryptocurrency, even if this option is restricted to the yearly subscription. Highly recommend BTCPayServer

@girish No, I just wanted to try and help or see if this was still happening on behalf of OP. Sorry I do not have an active pro subscription to test further. I am not sure if this issue is still occurring.

Given the abuse potential, I would call it wise to disable this one on the demo just wanted to check

I suppose this would be deployable on a free license, maybe I should try my hand at Cloudron packaging. Not sure that I can support it long-term personally though. Hopefully I can develop with a free license server deployment.

Some more info about this platform has also been discussed here: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4738/accept-bitcoin/

Atleast Cloudron UG does not host any servers and btcpayserver is already non-custodial. Nice qualities there.

@marcusquinn The two requests can be mutually exclusive, but having both the app & payment method for subscriptions would be very nice.

App requested is already here: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3956/btcpayserver/4?_=1619044612903

Not seeing much push for it yet unfortunately.

I believe Tesla is using it with their recent BTC payment method adoption. Atleast, they have sent some significant patches for btcpayserver recently.

Thankfully Cloudron will make isolating infrastructure super easy to do with multi-host coming soon in v7.0

I haven't heard of sysbox, but rootless docker + user namespaces per container is pretty good at solving something currently "bad" security-wise about docker.

Regarding btcpayserver, I am waiting on a server deployment and will be testing it shortly

@marcusquinn the API is also BitPay compatible btw. I think Coinbase is okay. In an ideal world, a public ledger really is the best. Since you and I both know that's not the world we live in, Monero serves an understandable need currently unsolved by Bitcoin. But that's the beauty of open source, right?

Thankfully, I have heard it is not hard to get a Monero daemon and payment integration running on btcpayserver via a docker flag. Along with an officially supported WordPress plugin, Point-of-Sale, crowdsourcing, shop, and invoice functions for any supported currency, this makes a nice little package for someone to get their community started with cryptocurrency.

Honestly, given that so many money services support purchasing BTC these days with QR-code scanning/sending and whatnot, I think giving Cloudron users the ability to get this going would be great. It may resonate with the kind of people looking for a self-hosted setup.

They have great docs
