@robi Missed the original discussions, but great idea and would like to watch, in order to learn. Look forward to a next date.

@benoit Looks nice

@girish Good move !

@thetomester13 Nice.
Although without cloudron in repo name, may be hard to find ?
But great project

@d19dotca Brilliant ! Upvoted.
It's all about finding stuff ... even these prior (better) suggestions

Loving Cloudron and wanting to get the most out of it.
The official Cloudron app store is there of course.
But I'm sure there are a lot of custom packaged apps, which are difficult to find out about.
Not very easy to search this forum reliably
Not very easy to search github etc
Of course if creator doesn't want their work listed, no problem and no obligation.
But maybe others would appreciate the chance to profile their projects.
Just a thought.

@ei8fdb
Partially retired, in the sense that I passed on a business that was sucking me dry in terms of energy.
So mostly gainfully UNemployed !!
Free now to pursue my interests, which include staying abreast of all the great tech that is out there nowadays.
An uncommon mix of legal, finance, business management, project management, business consultant, BPR solutions, training and implementor of tech solutions : 'wannabe developer'. I'll never be a real dev, and don't need to be, but it's rewarding to build solutions.

@murgero Like it. Cloudron definitely deserves greater profile, and such independent reviews play a v.helpful role in addition to official website

Interesting. Seems functional although not pretty.

@nebulon Thank you. No rush.

Using nano as text file editor on a LAMP app
I get this warning :

# nano index.html 
Unable to create directory /root/.local/share/nano/: No such file or directory
It is required for saving/loading search history or cursor positions.

Doesn't matter too much but wondering how to create this
/root/ is readonly
Can't see a config option for nano to store its stuff in read/write location

@robi At this stage, I'm just scaffolding a simple command line CRUD script to prove connection to the hosted Directus.

I've managed to craft a bare-bones script for create and read (in case it helps any other noob).

import { Directus } from '@directus/sdk';
const directus = new Directus('https://domain/');
await directus.auth.static('static_token');

const test = directus.items('test');
await test.createOne({
    status: 'draft',
    name: 'Jo',
    age: 20,
    points: 5,
});

const tests = await directus.items('test').readMany();
console.log({
    items: tests.data,
//      total: tests.meta.total_count,
});

The "total: tests.meta.total_count" is straight from web docs, but doesn't work, so investigating. Probably my error as usual.

So now I know calls to Directus work fairly easy.
I guess where my knowledge is failing (apart from this being the very first Node script I've done) is linking CRUD functions to a front-end. But I will keep looking.

The intended app is also v.simple.

• Users self-register
• Users login
• User then views available events
• User registers for event and buys tickets to event (probably handle that through a Stripe call)
• Email ticket confirmation and receipt to user
• User can reset their password

I guess I will figure out, just always prefer to use a library or framework for the heavy lifting and reduce scope for errors in my DIY coding.

I'm developing a small app for a society.
Currently favouring Budibase because it has front-end and back-end and app designer.
But keen to explore how Directus could handle the same project.

Installed custom Directus 9 as a Cloudron app (thanks to @atrilahiji)
I'll think about front-end for Directus app later.
Fo now I want to prove out the storing and retrieval of data in/from Directus.

But not finding any suitable example NodeJS scripts.
Yes, I have read Directus Docs. But no 'tutorial' for noobs like me.
Does anyone have any pointers ?

@robi Confirmed
It's the darned browser !

@fbartels Thank you. Helpful to know. So maybe it's my fault.
My default working environment is a Webcatalog box.
Allows me to control the 20+ webapps that I typically have open in a day, segregating them into different containers.
Maybe the Webcatalog browser interface is interfering with upload.
I will test in those and other browsers.
Thanks for your help and encouragement.

@fbartels Sure.
I clicked on a bucket in left sidebar.
Clicked on orange + icon to upload a file.
Selected a file in my OS file window
Uploaded fine, but instead of appearing in root of selected bucket, the file's local path was re-created under the root of the bucket.
I wonder if it is a Mac thing : I'm on Mac

@robi Thank you, yes get that.
But still seems wrong that a file should be stored with its local path when you're finding it after uploading.
Thanks for the list. will check it out.

Just started to use Minio app on Cloudron.
Uploading a file from local device using the provided browser instance stores the file with local storage path.

This is not very helpful (in my use case anyway) because the local storage path is irrelevant. Whole point is my local disk is a bit of a mess, and I want to offload less-used files into object storage in the bucket location I choose.

So is there a way to use the minio browser interface to not do this ?

Also I see that Minio supports nested structures, but the Minio browser doesn't make it easy to create them.

Maybe I'm confusing file/directory concepts with object storage. But starting to think the browser interface is not for me, and I need another client. What do others use to access their minio apps ?

@atrilahiji Yes definitely an interest. It would be good to have something more modern than Moodle, which is a pig with a bit of lipstick (IMHO).

@seeker There is a shortage of good membership software platforms, so this would be good addition to Cloudron. The only other significant contender is CiviCRM but it depends on Wordpress, which rules it out for me.
