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.

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.

@will said in What's coming in 4.4:

real support for federation. Imagine Cloudron being a painless way to deploy federated apps, a million Cloudrons out there all linking together

Wholeheartedly supporting this and would be willing to help out testing etc.

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

Though not made with exactly the same approach there's a popular request for Huginn as well.

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.

@jdaviescoates Discourse can have multiple authentication modes active simultaneously, yes.

wg-dashboard looks good enough to me!

@nebulon said in Discourse:

So I guess if the private forum use-case is considered to be useful and valid, then I guess we can add that.

It’s very useful for me and my projects!

I suppose you can write a sign-up application to interface with the Cloudron API.

@msbt said in matrix.org (communication):

when you're using log_file

What do you mean by this?

@legacy Or Pleroma.

@will said in Switch to Debian - Ubuntu Spying:

privacy minded people

What if they just removed the motd?

Hi, I get this when trying to install a plugin: podcast.

Unable to move the library files to /app/data/user/plugins/get-id3/library/
Files are missing from the getID3 library. Please see the grav log files for more information
Please manually download the library from http://www.getid3.org/ and follow the installation instructions in the README.md file for this plugin.

Grav log file only says:

[2019-12-20 23:39:44] grav.INFO: Unable to move the library files to /app/data/user/plugins/get-id3/library/ [] []

Not sure if Cloudron related though, but it sounds like a directory permissions issue.

@scooke said in Cloudron running low on resources.... memory - I have 20GB of ram free though:

Is it taking into account the RAM requirements for each installed app which would total 29.5GB? Is this why I get this warning?

Yes. Each app all have generous amounts of dedicated memory assigned to them. I read in the docs that each app is/should be configured for around 50 concurrent users.
