ntfy (pronounce: notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. It allows you to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, entirely without signup, cost or setup. It's also open source if you want to run your own.
Really simple notifications for scripts, server status etc.

If self-hosted, obviously change the ntfy.sh to your own domain.
Good morning
This is a technical issue, not a political post.
I have become stuck in UK and unable to return to family in Ukraine.
Flight pre-planned for Day2 of invasion obviously cancelled.
Internet in Kharkiv breaking down now.
I am doing research on 'offline' comms, maybe some kind of relay or mesh. But time is short and frankly brain is not as clear as it usually is.
So any advice appreciated.
Scenario is I stay here in UK for now, but also interested in scenario of going to Poland and waiting it out there. So maybe no internet there other than mobile phone.
As I said, tech query not political, but please forgive me a quick 'Slava Ukraini'.
@girish : it will for sure be impossible to persuade others to do it the Cloudron way, so the problem has to be addressed.
Personally I feel the Cloudron stability and reliability is SO IMPORTANT that it must be preserved and it is the priority. If it is impossible to find a solution, we have to accept a situation like "sorry, this XXX app is such a mess, it is not possible to make it comply with Cloudron standards, and even though it is good functionality, and we could possibly package it, we're not going to. Because it's a mess."
While I don't have a technical solution approach to the problem, I think it's almost inevitable that we end up with another status of apps :
Not ideal, but better than lowering Cloudron standards. Would rather accept not having XXX app in the store.
While trying to resolve some backup issues, I wondered if it might be possible in future Cloudron release to have backup policies per app.
Some apps need backing up daily but some might only need weekly or monthly. Currently backup configuration is set globally for the instance.
Been looking for a better way to handle my podcasts.
Stumbled over this : https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf
Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server.
Features :
Just to add context to my comment :
I have 45 apps running on my Cloudron (I am sure others have even more).
<5 minute installs vs 2-3 hours 'conventionally' : 45 times. That's a lot of time and grey hair saved.
Normally I would need multiple servers to run that for segregation, so the Cloudron monthly-equiv fee is off-set by saving on multiple VPS.
I totally get that non-profits have a duty and a need to keep costs down.
But that's exactly what Cloudron does.
Cloudron is truly cost-effective and cost-minimising.
Cloudron is the only tech cost that I'm genuinely happy to carry.
And they stand out a mile vs the rest of the industry in terms of quality, kind and constructive support.
But @girish and @nebulon : that doesn't mean you can increase the price !! 
@LoudLemur and you !
The community here is possibly the best on the net.
Hope @girish @nebulon @staff get a well-deserved rest, and the whole community has a wonderful Christmas holiday ! 
Picking up on comments in other threads, I'm thinking to start a wiki that can provide some entry-level guidance.
This will not (must not) replace official packaging documents.
Rather it can be an entry to the official docs for those who read them and don't know how to start, plus tips examples etc.
So I'm curious :

Nice little app

Self-Hosted, Open Source, Change Monitoring of Web Pages

Live your data-life pro-actively instead of re-actively.
I use this app on CapRover and it works nicely.
Would be nice to have on Cloudron, although I accept not life-changing.
And I think there are various systems like this : I don't how this ChangeDetection.io compares. I just like the ease of use and UI.
Dockerfile available in their repo.
I made an attempt at self-packaging, but getting some errors, which I am investigating.
Great news that it is available
@girish said in LibreTranslate is now available:
13GB. This is because of the size of the models for all the available languages.
Is it possible to reduce by selecting only a few models? Or that needs separate builds ?
@marcusquinn very good video : thank you for posting 
@fbartels vikunja is very unstable for me, constantly going into 'not responding' status. I'm about to migrate off it.
Reason for saying that is responding to OP question, (for me) it doesn't perform well enough compared to the others.
Very interested to hear any comparisons.
Currently using OpenProject but not assessed the other tools.
@humptydumpty said in pricing too high:
Are you guys seriously suggesting home server owners rent out services from HOME just to pay for a premium license?
I wasn't suggesting that.
Min price annually is $15 p/m and monthly $30 p/m.
So difference is $15 p/m which is $3.50 p/week.
All I was saying is that if paying monthly is important to someone, be resourceful and e.g. sacrifice a latte per week. Either to fund the monthly tier or build up a fund for the annual.
But it may be me who is beating a dead horse so I will shut up now.
To no-one in particular, I think we should stop telling Cloudron how to run their business.
Cloudron is astoundingly good value on the annual plan and still good value on the monthly plan.
Hosting costs don't come under the same scrutiny, nor (probably) any form of 'why don't change your pricing model'.
If anyone is going to use the product for >6 months, just take the annual plan and get resourceful about how to fund it.
@Stardenver Yep I get your point also
Maybe bear in mind that for many self-hosters (and Cloudron is all about self-hosting) PayPal is one of the "Big Evils"
Not sure if Cloudron already uses Paypal; if they do, then my point is invalid.
Paypal is unregulated and their decisions defy logic or inspection or appeal.
Personally I refuse to use them, even if they are convenient to the consumer.
We should all remember that there is a generous referral scheme in place :
For every paid user using your referral code, you will receive $30 service credits. The person you referred with get $30 service credits as well.
That's one month off for each referral. For each person !
(2 even if you pay annually)
@Stardenver monthly payments are convenient for the customer but they're a real pain for the business owner.
Even with repeat billing systems (Stripe, Paypal <yuk>) to do the hard work, even 1% of payments failing cost a lot of time to administer.
I've experienced this in business and with apps.
It really changes the dynamic, so I completely understand and support Cloudron's monthly/annual model.
With so much work for the Cloudron to do maintenance and development of the system and apps, and ever increasing requests for apps, the last thing the community should be asking them to add non-productive work like administering subscriptions.
Discussion of an intermediate tier between 2 and unlimited may be more valid, but I'd expect a similar differentiator between monthly and annual.
Time is money, both for business owner and for customer.
Customer does have to make decision : is this worth forking out a chunk of money for?
Well that's what the free tier is for. 2 apps concurrently, but you can test 50 (in sequence). It's enough to make the decision.
Just my 2p.
