Hi all,
“base url” in config.php has not been updated when I migrated a FreshRss instance between Cloudron instances and domains.
I did a backup on the old domain (es. olddomain1.mydomain.com) and imported the backup on a new FreshRss install (es. newdomain1.newdomain.com).
Everything was perfect, but base url has not been changed
Thanks
@timconsidine said in Update on community packages:
So, making sure I understand it correctly, for a CustomApp, the packager really just needs to add CloudronVersions.json to their repo (in addition to CloudronManifest.json, Dockerfile etc.) ? Neat !
Yes, correct. cloudron versions add simply creates CloudronVersions.json with the current manifest and current build information. Hopefully, it's all as obvious as I am making it sound 
From the installation point of view, the repo can be closed, docker image can be private. Only the CloudronVersions.json has to be public.
I have added two new fields on the manifest - packagerName and packagerUrl.
Going forward, the icon in manifest will be deprecated. We will use iconUrl instead.
You said in a separate post you would defer the question of a catalogue of custom apps : is that still the thinking ?
Yes, let's think about how people discover these versions files once we have released this.
Well, I should have tried it before replying. I can reproduce the problem The problem is the dialog just stays open and does nothing.
The text is just a label. It is not required to be unique. I guess once you detect it is conflicting, you have to rename the label to something else. Probably using creation date to differentiate.
We would like to add support for Community packages as part of 9.1. The idea is that a 3rd party developer can create a cloudron package and provide it to other users with no intervention by cloudron team. I have implemented most of the stuff. Here's how it will look like:
https://git.cloudron.io/playground/contacts/-/raw/main/CloudronVersions.json
Other than that, updates etc works like a normal app.
Added to @vladimir.d 's list
Can't say I remember why I added comma to the list of blocked characters in https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/ad3e593f017a2e1e95db19ab7b28bb748d703d58 . Probably a main reason was that it was interfering with shell scripting (the name is injected as an env var). I have removed the comma. We always double quote the env var in script, so it should not be a problem hopefully .
I have done some initial work last 2-3 days, I will create a separate post to discuss it. I don't know all the details about CCAI to give suggestions, but hopefully you can be informed better as to what we are doing.
we're getting closer, this is a part of the scheduled one this morning:

This is a left over of a "total" removing (2 weeks ago) of netdata installation years ago (now we have graphs in Cloudron 9 we don't need it anymore), I did:
sudo dpkg-statoverride --list | grep netdata
root netdata 755 /usr/share/netdata/www
root netdata 755 /var/lib/netdata/www
~# sudo dpkg-statoverride --remove /usr/share/netdata/www
~# sudo dpkg-statoverride --remove /var/lib/netdata/www
~# sudo dpkg-statoverride --list | grep netdata
I'll check tomorrow if the nightly unattended upgrade did work. Thanks @James for pointing the right direction!
