    Hi @andreasdueren, Thanks for reaching out. I’m currently using the paid cloud version of Kitsu. The Docker version works for testing purposes. I installed it locally following this tutorial: . I understand that many professional studios self-host and use this app for production, but it requires technical skills for setup and maintenance, as many of the Docker files seem to be deprecated. As well as the GitHub page, there is a dedicated Kitsu community Discord server where users can discuss installation and usage issues: https://discord.gg/kJ7SmmUPM Best whises

    @jdaviescoates I’m an idiot, you’re absolutely right: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2686/live-stream-on-creating-an-app-for-cloudron?_=1602281676588 This is the clip that made me a Cloudron developer enthusiast. I think it could help anyone / everyone starting out. Also, if anyone has any questions let me know. I had to take the week off work due to a hugely personal situation. But I’ll be back on Monday full steam on the forum and would love to help any new developers (in the same way @fbartels helped me, indirectly). I don’t know as much about box as @girish but if someone is making an app that needs deeper level dockerode / Docker / node knowledge - let me know. It took me 4 days to understand how node asynchronicity worked. So if I can help someone turn that into one day. I can tell you how do to so. Note: Cloudron box uses callback Node methodology so when researching it, make sure to look into that type of methodology when it comes to handling asynchronousity since this project was started in the timeframe callbacks were the most popular.

    @msbt I faced a similar issue with node-red. While I haven't tried it yet, I think what we want is to set NODE_PATH. See https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_loading_from_the_global_folders . I guess we set NODE_PATH=/app/data/custom-modules or something ?

    Looks like importing is some admin specific functionality. Oh, well.

    @d19dotca I definitely see a case for making it optional especially because then it helps those of us who want to build our apps for the Cloudron App Store to test updates out and have them deploy exactly the same as official App Store apps.

    Good morning, I found the problem. It was a supervisor misconfiguration. I copied a wrong template with a logging path that was unreachable. Thanks

    @JOduMonT Yup, we are waiting for the next peertube release to make it stable (there is a bug in current release which makes it hard to finish the setup) and then start posting videos there.
