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.
I think I've managed to get a basic version of Firefly III packaged! You can find the Git repo here. The main thing to note is that the LDAP connection doesn't quite work with Cloudron's system yet. @girish @nebulon I'm hoping one of you can help look through this and see if we can get a proper connection going? If we can link up the LDAP system, I'm happy to write some tests for this app so we can publish it to the Cloudron App Store.
There's also a no-ldap branch available which will let users register their own accounts on the app, not trying to use LDAP at all. If we can't get a successful LDAP connection going, then I can write tests for this version instead for the App Store.
https://sr.ht has recently been deployed to general availability. It seems like a Phabricator like tool in that it has many different aspects. git, CI, mailing list management, wiki, etc.
@girish I believe I've completed the development of PrivateBin for Cloudron! You can view the source here. It's currently working on the latest 1.3.1 release and has Selenium tests for the app's basic functionality. I'd love for it to be published to the Cloudron App Store - let me know if you need anything else!
@fbartels this looks great! I'd like to give it a try, but I'm not sure what the 'first time' message is talking about - what's a TURN server, and if I don't have it configured, is it really entirely self hosted?
I'm trying to use the built-in email feature. I am hosting my Cloudron on AWS and filled out the appropriate forms. I have all check marks down the email page and am able to send email from my Cloudron account just fine, but when I try to email my Cloudron account, I get a 'Mail delivery failed' message a few days later. Has anyone had something similar happen?
@yusf Calibre itself is quite a lot of things as I understand it. The important part here would be the server component. With Calibre installed locally, then Calibre-web would be the web interface to the server.
I've done some research on open source ebook software out there, and Calibre is the one that always comes up with the most community support. Open to other suggestions!
Inlets is an ngrok alternative so you can tunnel your localhost to your self-hosted server.
I know there are a few similar projects like this out there, one of this is localtunnel, but it looks like inlets has been more active recently which is why I listed that one. Happy to hear about other alternatives based on experience!
First thing in the readme: Note: There might be thousands such solutions available already! :D

@girish I believe it's a non-http port, yes. I've been through the docs so many times before and can't believe I missed the tcpPorts and udpPorts in the Manifest file looks like that's a solid starting point!
Looks like one can self host both the server sync piece and the web app piece. @nebulon Is there a way to expose 2 ports for a packaged app? I'm envisioning both of these packaged together, one port exposing the server side for 3rd party clients to connect to, and port 80/443 for the web app.

@girish I was going to try and close the loop on some of those automated tests but thanks for crossing the finish line for me there! Glad this can be a nice addition to the Cloudron App Store portfolio! I definitely plan on updating the Firefly III repo to link to the App Store as well.
@murgero I actually haven't used Firefly before this (was waiting for the 'perfect' setup..). Do subsequent imports happen automatically? Or does the user need to trigger it? I know there's a cron that's supposed to run once per day and I believe that's set up properly in the CloudronManifest, but not sure how to test that that is doing its job properly.
@timbo when did you last pull the project's code? That was an issue originally, but should have been solved with some more recent updates.
@girish sweet, I was able to get the app up and running with the change to the LDAP file, going to start working on some tests now! I'll update this thread with progress.
