    Hi everyone,

    I need help with the following tasks, specifically for use within Cloudron:

    Packaging a React App:

    I need assistance in setting up a React app to connect with Directus hosted on Cloudron.

    If possible, Iā€™d like a detailed SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) to follow for future setups.

    Setting Up a Node.js or Next.js App with React:

    I want to create a new MySQL database for this app, hosted on Cloudron, and need guidance on setting up and working with this database.

    Again, having an SOP for future reference would be highly appreciated.

    Iā€™m willing to pay for these services or would be grateful if someone could kindly share their expertise and the required SOPs.

    Thanks in advance!

    ... In a way. We are developing our own solution now, that uses Synology as a base for on premise installations.

    You get access to docker. There is an env var injected into the app. See https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#docker .

    Generally, don't use it. If you are using it, it means you are trying to access docker which is a bit of security hole. This was created mostly out of necessity and maybe for "playing" . But once you give an app access to docker, it can pretty much do anything on host.

    Does side-loading work on Apple devices in UK ?
    I thought that was in the future.
    Or this is different to the changes made for EU users to install non-AppStore apps ?

    @MorganGeek so on mac you just stop docker deskop and install/run orbstack ?

    I use docker desktop to provide engine to build custom cloudron app packages. Does Orbstack support that ?
    Always bit nervous of disturbing an existing working environment.

    I used to use Parallels to run other OS but I stopped subscription as struggled to justify the cost.

    I have added the easy installer to the repo. This allows users to install the app on Cloudron, if they don't want or know how to build the image themselves.

    Hi and welcome. For a start your application only listens on localhost:3000 it needs to listen on 0.0.0.0:3000 and then ensure port 3000 is also specified in the CloudronManifest.json

    @ekevu123 then, there is something wrong with the packaging. I am not sure how your Dockerfile looks like but maybe you copy over the code in a start up script or something ? Test the docker image locally using docker run -ti <docker_image> /bin/bash . Is it having the fixed code?

    Fascinating conversation. We are looking for Cloudron monitoring @potemkin_ai ourselves.

    Ideally you would keep it simple and self-contained enough that it doesn't need access to third-party app stores. In terms of the notifications, it would make sense to build a very simple API which would allow the external services (Rocket.Chat, Mattermost) to pick up nomon's notifications. You could include a sandbox for push notifications along with templates for the major services, and guidance on how to use it.

    KIS and focused would be my choice for such an app.

    The problem with many open-source people is that we want to cover every need and every possibility and leave every door open. To be everything for everybody doesn't work in the physical world, and to be honest it doesn't work well in the virtual world.

    @brianb you can compile your app as self contained. It will eliminate the need of having the .net framework installed in the cloudron base images.

    @mateit-cloudware Maybe just restart the app after you push the files ? Just use cloudron restart --app ticket ? Is this the LAMP app? There is a byte code cache in place which possibly prevents you from seeing the changes immediately. I think it will update in 60 seconds.

    @senthilkumaran I also suggest you check out the sample apps which Cloudron made and are available for testing proof of concept and as a base for your own package(s).

    Also look on git.cloudron.io : there are many custom apps there from users (not Cloudron staff). Those can give you a good idea of how people approach the task of packaging, and i particular the task of separating read only /app/code and read write /app/data.

    @sarthak-narayan Set a memoryLimit say 2GB or something in the manfiest - https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/manifest/#memorylimit . Then, update the app.

    If yes then is it only present in the free version or in the paid version as well? Also if its present in the paid version then how can I increase the RAM requirements of the container?

    All this is not related to paid/free .
