This month in Co-op Cloud December 2021
Happy New Fear! Here’s the latest on what’s happened this December 💣
New Gitea tips & tricks documentation
We have some new Gitea setup documentation that makes getting started much easier thanks to @aileoia
! All the new docs are inthe recipe README.md over here.
Improvements to the Snikket package
Ever dreamt of federated, end-to-end encrypted messaging with video and audio integration? Enter Snikket, an XMPP distribution bundled with an cross-platform clients. Now you can be your own service provider with our shiny Co-op Cloud recipe. The recipe saw a couple of bugfixes and TURN testing and is ready to go, though still experimental. Shout-out to @3wc
, @decentral1se
, @knoflook
for getting this one over the line!
New apps:
calibre-web
a web app providing a clean interface for browsing, reading and downloading eBooks using an existing Calibre
database.
And more federated goodness with 2 ActivityPub enabled services: pixelfed
, an image sharing platform on the Fediverse and writefreely
, for writing down your thoughts, fanfiction, books, guides and whatever else you got. Thanks to @knoflook
for this packaging work!
Closer to abra
stabilisation
We’re getting closer to stabilising abra
with release candidates in the 0.4.0-alpha
tree introducing lots of fixes and refactoring thanks to @decentral1se
& @knoflook
. We’re hoping to do final pre-beta major breaking changes and drop the -alpha
soon!
New workflows for recipe maintainers
Check out the new proposal workflow for updating and publishing recipes/catalogue in this video. We’re aiming for a semi-automated process which supports manual intervention due to the instability of the Docker tagging ecosystem. It’s a balance to try find something that makes it easy to keep up with the fast pace of upgrades and also maintain a simple and understandable UI/UX. Feedback is always welcome ❤️
