Loomio in cloudron?

AM Andrés Moya Public Seen by 240

Hi. I'd like to package Loomio for installing into http://cloudron.io (a platform similar to sandstorm, that I see has been discussed here).

The main issue I find for now is that, to be fully integrated in Cloudron, Loomio should accept user authentication from an LDAP database or via OpenID (the two ways of authenticating in Cloudron). But It seems that Loomio has not this capabilities. Is there any plugin or similar that could allow this? Or anyone from here would be interested in making such plugin? I cannot see myself doing this, because I don't know ruby.

It's actually a really big job to abstract Loomio's user system, we have multiple ways to login, (Facebook, Google, Slack, Email) logic around if a user is email verified, logic around if they have accepted terms and conditions (for GDPR compliance) and also the ability for users to be created on the fly, so that people can paritcipate in polls without signing up first.

I don't think cloudron can support this kind of behaviour, and it's probably just as easy to setup Loomio with the docker images provided.
