kill the newsletter (github) let's users create a unique email address, register for a newsletter with it, and instead of receiving an email with the newsletter, it'll add it to an RSS feed that it also provides for you.
I feel like this would package well alongside a TTRSS or FreshRSS instance.
I recently realized that there are quite a few apps that have been packaged by gracious developers here that aren't on the App Store for one reason or another. I started a repo to keep track of them hoping we can compile the whole lot of them!
A copy of the list is pinned here:
Homepage - A simple, standalone, self-hosted PHP page that is your window to your server and the web. (Source Code)
Standard Notes (Sync Server) - The Standard Notes syncing server (Source Code)
Standard Notes Web - A free, open-source, and completely encrypted notes app. (Source Code)
webhooks - webhook is a lightweight incoming webhook server to run shell commands (Source Code)
Zola - Server to serve up statically generated Zola sites
nginx app - nginx server, akin to Cloudron's LAMP
Open to suggestions about formatting or any other pieces of data we may want to keep track of. Also, feel free to comment here about any more Apps that are packaged and they can be added to the list and repo!
Focalpoint is 'an open source, self-hosted alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana.' I'm hopeful with the 'alternative to Notion' part, but haven't played around with it myself so not sure how fully featured it is. That being said, the project has lots of stars on GH and looks to be plenty active.
Calibre is a popular self-hosted ebook manager. Github page.
Now, Calibre is a desktop application, not a web application. But there is also Calibre-web, which is a web front end for the Calibre backend.
Should Calibre and Calibre-web be hosted through a single Cloudron application, or 2 separate applications?
Either way, I think these 2 applications could be very powerful on Cloudron.
The author also just linked to the Cloudron App Store version in their README for a 1-Click install!
Hello all!
I've been developing/packaging what I think could be a new form of Cloudron apps, Themes (working title : ). The idea here is a simple Homepage that will display your installed Cloudron applications for easy access. You can see a working copy on my instance here! Be sure to hit space bar to toggle the menu.
Features include:
Note that this is NOT meant to replace the current Cloudron dashboard, but rather be a supplementary 'app browser'. When the menu is displayed in the Homepage App, there is a cog icon at the top right with the time stamp that will take you straight to your original Cloudron dashboard when you need full access to Backups, Logs, etc.
This app is based on the homepage-cloudron repo, which is based off of the homepage repo, both of which I am the author of. Happy to answer any questions! You can find the Cloudron packaged app here.
If this is interesting, I could work up some basic tests for this to eventually be included in the actual Cloudron App Store. Though it is important to note that for this to work properly, the setup requires creating a new Cloudron API key and updating the config.json file through the Terminal (not super user-friendly).
Thoughts/suggestions/notes welcome!
Alright, I am setup using @jdaviescoates 's BBB instance for now. We're still on for tomorrow, Wednesday the 27th at 5pm EST for writing some tests! Hope to see some people there!
@marcusquinn thanks! I am trying to keep the project relatively simple so I don't want to get too deep into features. It is worth noting though that the original Homepage app does support opening links in new tabs. I could see a feature on the Cloudron app where it's an all-or-nothing boolean - all links will open in a new tab, or all links will open in the same tab. I also could see supporting non-Cloudron app links, and potentially number of columns. The way I see it, the icons should possibly adjust automatically based on the number of columns (again, this is a bit of the complexity I'm trying to avoid with a KISS app). The search bar I've also purposefully avoided this whole time, but I'm open to suggestions. It's also worth noting that you are free to create PR's into the Github repo if you want to contribute!
@robi that's an interesting point. Only admins are installing new applications indeed, but still, I'm not sure that all admins are capable or comfortable with going to an app's terminal, vim'ing (is that a verb??) the config file and adding in an API key. That being said, it's probably a good enough start for now, and could potentially revisit if/when @girish or @nebulon decide to add such a feature.
@brutalbirdie I really like this thought! (Note, I'm not familiar at all with AUR).
This is actually why I began the Non App Store Apps repo and forum post. You're more than welcome to contribute to the repo, or send me details about the apps you packaged and I can update the forum post to reflect those.
That being said, I do think this is a nifty idea. How do you see this being built out? Maybe there's an 'official unofficial' internal Cloudron Docker where some development can occur which would make the images exposed to other devs?
Astral is an app to organize and sift through one's Github stars. (Source Code, Home Page, Demo)
Viewing one's Github stars on Github isn't very intuitive, easy, or flexible, so I used this app for a bit since Github is where I keep all of the potential apps that could eventually be packaged for Cloudron 
I then realized that this is in and of itself something I'd like to have on my Cloudron, so it's now packaged here. I also added it to the Non App Store Packaged Apps forum thread.
If enough people like it, I'm happy to create some tests and make this an official app. Enjoy!
@atrilahiji I believe the main issue with the package that's available is that there's no connection to the server, so it won't actually run any workflow.
I do love your idea of a crowd-sourced App Store, of course with the staff's blessing as you mentioned. There's already a short list of some apps here that I maintain. It'd be neat if there was a way to input a URL to an app for it to be installed.
Ha same exact thing happened to me! A hard refresh resolved the issue immediately.
@dswd just added those 2 to the post above!
@dswd very cool! I could see the nginx app being useful for some people for sure.
As for Zola, is there a UI to it at all? Or is the app you packaged just the server serving up Zola static sites?
There's been talk of finding a real Calendly alternative here, and it looks like Calendso (Github, site) might be it! It only supports Google Calendar at the time of writing, but the homepage seems to imply they're working on more integrations. Worth keeping an eye on.
@timconsidine just added 'Cloudron' to the forum post title!
@d19dotca haha no worries! I figured the more places we have pointing to that post the more likely people are to come across it!
@timconsidine I actually started something like this here. Happy to add any other packaged apps as developers make them known!
@grienauer were you able to test this plugin on a local version of TTRSS? I know that's not always an option for non-technical people though. This is the plugin that is working for me in the /app/data/plugins directory - can you try that and see if it works? If it does, there might be something wrong with your plugins themselves.
@grienauer does your File Manager look something like this? (Note the directory hierarchy)
Be sure that the plug in actually works and can work on a regular instance to verify that it's the app itself. Besides that I'm not really sure what to say 
do your logs say anything fishy?
@nebulon I believe @Grienauer is talking about these PrivateBin templates. I actually didn't know these existed but was able to switch themes easily by simply updating the /app/data/cong.php file and setting the template variable to one of the ones listed on the Github page.
