[Announce] CustomAppGateway (CAG) – Solving the "Chicken & Egg" for Custom Apps Hi everyone, I'm excited to share a new project that I hope will be a valuable addition to our ecosystem: CustomAppGateway (CAG). Available now at CAG Website The "Chicken & Egg" Problem For a while now, I've been working on CCAI and then CCAI-P (Cloudron Custom App Installer - Personal), a tool designed to be the primary "Install UI" for custom apps. It empowers you to easily install packaged custom apps that aren't yet in the official store. However, there is a catch-22: How do you install the installer (CCAI-P) without using the CLI ? Enter CustomAppGateway (CAG) CustomAppGateway is the solution to that problem. It is a specialized, lightweight run-once tool designed solely to deploy CCAI-P to your Cloudron instance securely and easily. It provides three simple methods: CAG Online (Hosted): A web-based installer that runs securely in your browser (using a proxy to handle CORS, with tokens processed in memory only). CAG Web (self-hosted) : same as above but made easy to deploy to your own server. CAG App (Downloaded): A standalone terminal executable for Mac, Windows, and Linux for those who prefer a local utility. AppStore Independence CAG and CCAI-P are about AppStore Independence. You are not reliant on waiting for an app to be officially adopted or packaged by the Cloudron team to use it, if you need it NOW. That said, the Cloudron App Store remains vital. It provides the seamless, tested update mechanism we all rely on. While custom apps give us freedom and immediacy, the App Store is still the gold standard for long-term maintenance and stability. Updates & Housekeeping CCAI-P is now the primary interface for installing custom apps and will receive further updates and improvements. The old CCAI open hosted version is effectively deprecated and will be archived/deleted. I encourage everyone to switch to using CCAI-P. Security A hot topic which I’ve taken seriously. CAG leverages the excellent security baked into the Cloudron platform. We focus on : using a dedicated one-time token which you create and subsequently delete restricting the token to use only on your IP address The footprint for attack is tiny. A Note to the Cloudron Team I want to extend a huge and ongoing thank you to the Cloudron team for their continued, tireless efforts. Cloudron remains the #1 self-hosting platform because of your hard work. We know you face time and effort constraints with a small team. My hope is that CustomAppGateway and CCAI-P can ease your burden a little by empowering the community to self-service their custom app needs, allowing you to focus on the core platform and official apps. Where to get it CAG Website Status hosted installer : zero setup : tested web installer : private setup : tested desktop installer : minimal setup : tested on MacOS TODO : test desktop installer on Windows test desktop installer on Linux Feedback is always welcome! And in doing so, please cut me some slack - it's a ground-breaking project, and as such may have some gremlins for a short (hopefully) while.

@dcwalk said in Mobilizon - A free and federated tool to get our events off Facebook!: Agree that it would be great to have this app in Cloudron Agreed! It's now on version 5.2.2 and these are the docker instructions https://docs.mobilizon.org/3. System administration/install/docker/

@Kubernetes sometimes I just hate IT

BTCPayServer has now been updated to v2.3.3 (from 2.1.6) Tested on our instance and it's running fine https://git.cloudron.io/playground/btcpayserver/

@luckym totally understand for that reason I made CCAI-P : Personal Edition cloudron credentials are in the app - not entered anywhere -sits entirely on your server there is the conundrum of how you get CCAI-P in the first place, but once you have it, no creds needed for future usage. to get Seafile-CE for cloudron you can try : cloudron install --image tcmbp132021/cloudron-seafile-ce:v1.0.1 and it will then prompt you for what app address you want to use. but this presupposes you have Cloudron CLI installed - at least you don't need Docker installed but I think you need the CloudronManifest.json also from the repo locally to install CCAI-P manually, it's similar to: have cloudron CLI installed cloudron install --image tcmbp132021/cloudron-customapp-installer-personal:latest might need that repo's CloudronManifest.json locally

The Docker image is already packaged specifically for Cloudron and includes the CloudronManifest.json, so no additional manifest is required for installation when using the image. Feel free to add it to your custom installer if that’s useful for users, but everything needed is already bundled in the image itself.

@joseph trying to get stuff done which I need to be productive on a big (non-Cloudron) project (RAG in this case) and that AppWishList list frustrates me

@timconsidine said in Parse server with dashboard.: I have deleted the old repos on git.cloudron.io as I am not clear about their robustness. We have been struggling with a lot AI indexing / bots off late. We try to tweak GitLab settings but unfortunately sometimes we get locked out ourselves ! But git.cloudron.io is the only place we have all cloudron code.

@drm237 said in Windmill: Open-source alternative to Airplane, Superblocks, Retool: I submitted a pull request if anyone wants to give it a try: https://github.com/halecraft/windmill-cloudron/pull/1. It assumes that @canadaduane didn't update the init-db-as-superuser.sql file in their original build and instead fetches the original file from windmill. Merged! And I'm sorry it took so long to see it. I must have cleared out my github inbox without noticing.

I came across Safeline through a Meta Ads. The ad was run by a web dev based in Indonesia who offers a course on how to secure WordPress websites against hacking. After reviewing the course modules listed on the landing page, I noticed that Safeline was mentioned and that it can be integrated with Cloudflare. This caught my interest, so I decided to do some research. I then looked into third-party benchmarks and evaluations of Safeline’s protection capabilities and found the following articles: https://dev.to/carrie_luo1/the-6-best-web-application-firewalls-compared-2024-1d9l https://medium.com/@tvvzvpb186/which-open-source-waf-really-delivers-a-head-to-head-benchmark-37631e08fb7f Based on the benchmark data presented in those articles, Safeline appears to perform well in blocking common web application attacks. That said, this is purely based on third-party analysis. I have not personally used Safeline in a production environment yet. I should also mention that I am not an IT developer or sysadmin by profession. My background is primarily in digital marketing, so I fully understand that many people in this forum have far deeper technical expertise than I do. That said, I find Safeline interesting due to its feature set and open-source offering, which prompted me to explore it further and request the app here.

Release v1.15.0 https://hub.docker.com/r/twentycrm/twenty/tags?name=v1.15.0 Quick update on the experience so far: REST and GraphQL APIs are well-documented, making it easy to integrate with other applications to complete business workflows. The CRM is simple, with core features that keep us focused and make daily operations easy, without being overwhelming with too many functions. Objects and fields are organized flexibly, allowing current business processes to be integrated smoothly. The interface is clean and visually pleasing, which makes it more motivating to use. Built-in automation workflows: easily run automated tasks without needing n8n or Make.

While planning another project which would benefit from Supabase, I used AI to take another look at viability of packaging Supabase. Answer : don't So nothing changed.

I just started using Jmap because of ThunderMail (not Thunderbird), but I really like that server. @andreasdueren I think having an additional mail server app would be great, but the actual mail server is perfectly integrated into Cloudron itself. Nice find! If this server becomes more stable (see the breaking changes when updating: https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/blob/main/UPGRADING/v0_15.md), it could be a very nice drop-in replacement for the internal mail server as long as the licence (https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart?tab=readme-ov-file#license) fits. However, reading the 'Enterprise' options (https://stalw.art/enterprise/), it may not be suitable because 'Multi-Tenant' is an 'Enterprise' feature. If I find some time, I can do some tests and post the results here, but that's low priority.

@sfeldkamp yeah, that works for the Cloudron package.
