    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

    @humptydumpty said in Publish an Official App Packaging Roadmap: As for app packaging, if I’m not mistaken, Cloudron staff take over and handle any future updates if it’s added to the App Store. I don’t expect every niche app will get adopted but the highly voted/starred apps that fill a gap in CR’s ecosystem will have a higher chance. CR could enhance/simply how custom repos/apps are added. Some of the regulars on here have shared their own packaged apps, but the process isn’t clear to me yet. That’s something worth looking into though. Sigh, too much to do and not enough time! That's the main difference to platforms like Yunohost, where you have a ton of user packaged apps.... - that don't work, break, become unmaintained etc.

    I think that is just the docker image and not the docker file - https://hub.docker.com/r/jacobmatrktippetts/monero-node

    Maybe a temporary issue with your private docker registry or otherwise. Lets see if next time we have more info to work with.

    I solved the port issue as well. The problem occured when I tried to start an interactive shell, which counted as starting a second application inside the cloudron app, that's where the port conflict came from. If someone else is working with Elixir on Cloudron, you can start an interactive shell like this: /app/_build/prod/rel/APP/bin/APP remote

    @alex-uxlabsmx should work now. there were a couple of issues in the crontab: '&' in the end of the cron line. this puts the command in the background. cronjobs are not run in background and instead run on a schedule. so, the '&' should be removed. 'source' command is a bash primitive. you have to wrap it in bash -c "source ... && anothercommand", for example seems to work after that.

    I am not familiar with how nestjs works during startup, but something tries to wholesale rm the /dist folder. I guess it tries to rebuild the app on startup? You may have to copy the app from read-only to /run first thing in start.sh and then start the app and not symlink the folder? Just a guess though.

    How to package third-party apps, with example

    Thank you for the detailed response! Since this app doesn't run the LLM itself, the system requirements are less heavy. But wouldn't everything that wasn't attached to Cloudron just run inside the container? I mean, let's say I write a dockerfile for this app, but "forget" to use the postgres addon of cloudron. Wouldn't the app still run, but with the database inside the app, so it would be overwritten upon updating? Other than that, this app seems to have a sandbox container and one for vector databases, which couldn't be rebuilt easily in Cloudron.

    @girish To make it more clear, I have made a template repository with all the files and scripts I usually use for my Cloudron apps. In the future, we might benefit from adopting such a strategy for the Cloudron CLI init script by using these files as a template/starter Cloudron app project. It'd make maintenance easier, more uniform, and make the process less daunting for new app devs. https://github.com/Lanhild/starter-cloudron

    @Lanhild yup, we already started using multi-stage builds by now. For app store, you have to pin the images though. Using ":latest" is not good will have to be changed.

    There‘s a whole category for that: https://forum.cloudron.io/category/5/app-wishlist I‘d suggest creating one topic per app. If your app generates enough interest, some kind soul might gift you (and us) with their spare time

    Put reverse-proxy in front of arbitrary apps

    It would reach it via the public domain I would guess, so it is not dependent on the local docker network addresses. All this is not an elegant solution for sure but to have this well supported we would need to have a quite sophisticated reverseproxy/nginx config UI somehow.
