    Hello @morgi and Welcome to the Cloudron Forum! I have many years of experience with Cloudron and hosting. Would be happy to help and can even offer a full monitoring solution that would notify you if something is happening or even before it gets critical. Including dashboard access to full statistics like Docker System, file system, Networking, System performance, website overview (selenium smoke tests etc.) and to some extend Cloudron API monitoring. This could also be extended if something else is needed. If you would like to discuss this further you can send me a dm in the forum. You can find more bout me here: https://keyoxide.org/3EFABCB708412AEE165EDC6C7B17D07087F79F9E https://www.hackradt.com/posts/1750792477727-about-me Feel free to contact me in the medium you like most. In keyoxide my Mail, Discord and Matrix/Element is verified. Also including my PGP key, if you'd like encrypted mail conversations. To be fair to everyone, tagging the @partner group. In case you need a full contract with SLA and response times, I would suggest you get in touch with @luckow (also a partner) His company and staff have many years of experience with Cloudron hosting and services all around Cloudron. ~Cheers

    The dockerfile is here . It's nothing special, just lots of packages on base ubuntu. To add to what's been said: our approach is the batteries included approach and it's optimized for developer/sysadmin productivity (as opposed to saving disk space). When we open a web terminal, we want all the common tools across all apps (ping, nc, telnet, tar, node, php, python what have you). The Web terminal and File manager have a bunch of tooling prerequisites - tar, zip, rar, jq, database clients (mysql/postgres/redis/mongo), etc for it work well. Any image will work including multi-stage builds. You have to pay attention to our deployment paradim though - https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/cheat-sheet/#filesystem . Containers are run on a readonly fs, there is no way around this.

    @girish Oh, I see. Right, unless you install your own torrent tracker, and use the install base swarm to seed images from your own infrastructure at minimal bandwidth usage. No need for docker hub then!

    @ekevu123 Thanks for the report! There was indeed a bug that the dashboard code throws an error when an app does not use any addons. https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/e02f3d70649c75c64e4126f1deea45b3456277a0 is the fix.

    @rxlict yes, if the build fails, everything will go pear-shaped. Trying to go ahead will fail. The important step is to solve the build issue, which will be in how the Dockerfile is constructed. Can you share which app you're trying to package? Stick with it : it can be a frustrating process solving the build issues, but once you have success, it's all worth while.

    It is not difficult to find the problematic docker if you look at the log. You can also use a monitoring service https://www.host-tracker.com/en that will detect problems automatically and notify you.

    It's also a huge savings on disk to have most apps based on the same base image instead of many independent ones adding up to Gigabytes of duplication.

    @saikarthik That seems like a no brainer for WordPress, especially if you're going to have the customer do menu updates themselves. There are a plethora of WP resources and ways to get help too, depending on your support model. EspoCRM could be set-up to handle that and taking online orders, etc. with additional compelxity. On the other hand, if it's not something with online orders, any menu can be made into a super simple static site/page with the menu being a few images or an embeded PDF. Depends on how fancy do you want to go.

    @pepicrft run.sh needs to be an executable i.e chmod +x in the repo.
