Monica VS docker

Monica is a Personal Relationship Management (PRM) web application developed on PHP by Monicahq. The main aim of this project is to help individuals to organize and record their interactions with others. It works as a CRM tailored for managing relationships with friends and family. The Monica project is designed for individuals who struggle to remember important details about the lives of people they care about, including those with conditions, like Asperger syndrome or Alzheimer’s disease. It provides a private and personal space for users to keep track of essential information about their friends and family.

I've created some OSS projects, one of them being Monica [1], an open source CRM which pops up sometimes on HN. The project has more than 20k+ stars and a lot of contributors. I've also created other projects (OfficeLife [2], Bivouac [3]).

However, all these are passion projects, worked on at nights and weekends. My day job is about project management (currently a very senior position) at various big corps.

I would like to switch careers and become a professional full stack developer. I can't choose between backend and frontend since I've done everything on my projects. I only know Laravel, Vue 3, HTMX. I have to deploy my projects myself, maintain them myself, and design everything myself.

I'm not an expert in anything, but I know a bit of everything that is required to ship something that works.

That being said, what are the chances of being hired as a professional developer? Will I be taken seriously?

I've been using Monica [1] for the personal CRM and it does what it is supposed to do. It's a basic web app and lacks the sophistication moderns apps have, but it hasn't died for 5 years at least. Just FYI.

I am looking for some kind of cli/tui app that has similar functionality as Monica.

My wife and I tried to use Monica for many months in the past but had to give up because of the incredibly buggy CardDAV implementation when using iOS. Now that this has come out it seems the issue (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/issues/6175) was ignored likely because of all this work.

Have improvements been made with this in the new version?

That does remind me of this project: https://github.com/monicahq/monica

Monica: Personal CRM where you can keep track of what you've discussed with for example co-workers. Especially nice if you are working in a large organisation

Sorry, I'm not familiar at all with unraid but if you're using docker compose, everything you need should be here https://github.com/monicahq/docker/tree/main/.examples/supervisor/fpm - or go one folder up to use the deployment for apache for example.

I created a stack using the instructions here ( Apache version). It works, I add contacts, they persist.

As a matter of fact, Monica has an official Docker image here: https://hub.docker.com/_/monica

(I'm super proud to say that we have an official Docker image, official being the label the Docker granted us last year as they (Docker, the company) maintain it. There are not a lot of official Docker images, but we are part of it, and it's awesome)

May be over-kill but it fits your requirements. It's a "personal CRM" https://github.com/monicahq/docker

I tried it using their Apache version example here. I generated the key using the method in the directions they included and it worked fine.

I dont't know anything about monicahq, but looking at the docker hub page, they have a section talking about using monicahq with a reverse proxy that references a lot of ready to run examples.

Very odd behavior from a container built on the MonicaHQ image. I'm using docker-compose on a raspberry pi to host this. Currently I've got a mariadb container, phpmyadmin, and monica. both the MariaDB and PHPMyAdmin containers seem to be pulling the date from the host correctly. The Monica container is set to 0 and it doesn't change. Its been sitting for a couple days

- Monica ( Monica - Official Image | Docker Hub )

I'm running Monica CRM as a webapp, and so I have a job constantly running. The container is designed for certain commands to be invoked from outside like docker-compose exec monica php artisan COMMAND. I think this would be similar to nomad alloc exec.
