A service very much like Instagram, but federated. There seems to be quite some enthusiasm around ActivityPub-based projects in general, also including Prismo, Anfora and Funkwhale.

I've written about this issue in various topics where related but now want to distill those thoughts in a dedicated one.

Federated services?

Various services that are federated in one way or another typically serve from the root domain. A few examples:

• Matrix, a popular federated chat service. (1 587 public servers with ∞ users)
• Mastodon, a very popular federated microblog service. (2 744 public servers with 2 270 595 users)
• PeerTube, a somewhat popular federated video streaming service with peer-to-peer content distribution. (340 public servers with 23 164 users)
• PixelFed, an emerging federated Instagram-like image service. (107 public servers with 15 966 users)
• WriteFreely, an emerging federated blogging platform. (199 public servers with 5 490 users)
• IRC, a well established chat service. (∞ public servers with ∞ users)
• Email (∞ servers with ∞ users)

Problem

Regardless of what subdomain these services are served from technically, they all require some routing via the root domain to work properly. Sure, some can be served from a subdomain but it's bad practice.

In Cloudron, support for this type of routing is currently absent except for email (which is obviously because it makes up such a central component of the Cloudron system). The routing required for federated services typically means forwarding a port or two towards the true location of the service.

Proposal

The solution I imagine is that apps requiring this routing registers extra ports in their app manifests that then targets the root domain, which should still be open to serve a completely different app on that location as well. Just like email works right now alongside whatever is installed on the root domain.

Now, if Cloudron were to accomodate for this type of root domain routing then the system would be quite ideal for hosting not only the typical web apps already possible, but the whole plethora of emerging federated services as well. The numbers shows a pretty good interest in these types of services.

Let's hear it

I'd hereby like to initiate a solution oriented discussion on this topic. I would especially appreciate the views of @girish and @nebulon, but of course community members like @msbt, @murgero, @kasini and @october as well.

What if the Cloudronites convinced Framasoft to produce Cloudron packages of their vast software catalog? Would seem like a win-win situation where Cloudron gets more apps and Framasoft gets more users of its software.

Would be interesting to combine it with Gitea enabling a pretty serious code lifecycle platform.

Ah I see. But then maybe color half of the active part of the slider differently and add a color legend like so:

Just a nice to have, but for late-night management I'd appreciate a dark mode for the Cloudron web interface.

On a IPFS related note: IPFS based backups would be interesting. Pinning services are emerging, https://www.eternum.io/ for example. Storage is quite cheap.

I assumed it was completely statically served but maybe not?

@girish This is what I had in mind. Required when multiple sessions are present, otherwise not?

Cool, but why Cloudron? It needs no server.

I manage a bunch of Cloudrons. Sometimes via the CLI. Therefore, logging in into each Cloudron instance (thus logging out) from the others is annoying. Can you make it so that one can be logged in to all of them at the same time?

I haven't cared to set DKIM and SPF records since I don't need them. Can I have a setting to disable this notification?
