A bit of a milestone in #Neighbourhood-first software folks - we have a way to connect any web app to the #P2P network run by #LoRes Node.

You can read about it, and try it out here:
https://lores.tech/blog/example-chat-app/

This example chat app allows real-time communication between web users connected to any web server in the regional network. It does that by connecting to an API that we now supply to all #coopcloud apps.

The communications goes over #P2Panda, so it's delay tolerant and ready for post internet approaches. We don't yet have an example of it working over #LoRa or anything though, but the end of the article touches on next steps for that.

I've finally got my music working kind of the way I want. The #RaspberryPi that powers my #LoRes node now also has a hard drive full of music attached. I've got #Navidrome installed (via #CoopCloud) so I can stream music from my devices on the go. That doesn't work with my Sonos though (honestly, the Sonos have been a disappointing part of this mix) so it also has the music drive mounted as a Samba share, which Sonos is indexing according to it's own whims.

Every week or two I'm enjoying buying new music on #Subvert. I've got some older stuff from band camp. And popular stuff or things I'd already bought on CD are acquired by other means. Spotify is gone, and my music works even when the internet is down.

@d1 @jadehopepunk @coopcloud thanks all for writing back :)

Oh this is interesting @goblin @mox

From a Quick Look around …

Kolicloud is a web-based tool for digital collaboration and combines different tools in a common dashboard.

Has similar community hosting goals to us.

From the KolliCloud repo..

“The KolliCloud is a free service provided by Local-IT e.V. (LIT) in collaboration with the coopcloud-community. It is a collection of software tools specifically designed for small to medium-sized clubs, associations, and NGOs to facilitate digital collaboration.”

There are three options for using the KolliCloud:

Self-hosting
Managed Hosting
Collective Hosting
You can find more information on our website(https://kollicloud.de/hosting/).

This repository mainly contains references to other repositories. This is because the setup of the KolliCloud is based on abra from the coop-Cloud and our own Meta-Configuration tool, alakazam.

https://git.local-it.org/local-it/kollicloud

Looking at Alakazam.. seems to offer that meta config layer that can I was mentioning…

“Alakazam serves as a wrapper for Abra to make it easier to manage configurations across multiple instances. The global configuration for all KolliClouds can be regulated via alakazam, even if this can of course be adjusted in more detail per customer.

An example: Help, i.e. the link to the KolliCloud Wiki, is available in all KolliClouds on the dashboard. This is stored in the alaka defaults. If the link were to change, this would only have to be changed in the one alaka-defaults file and not in every authentic recipe for every KolliCloud.”

ref: https://wiki.local-it.cloud/s/kollicloud-wiki/doc/alakazam-2KkXj4zqH0?q=Ala

And here’s the underlying git repo:

“Alakazam is a meta-configuration app-connector and an abra wrapper, designed as a proof-of-concept to simplify the management of environment configuration files across multiple instances.”

All very interesting!!
