How to Run DocuSeal Pro on Cloudron? (App Store Limitation)

[lassekresse]

We recently purchased a DocuSeal Pro on-premises license but initially installed the free version from Cloudron's App Store. DocuSeal support mentioned that activating Pro on Cloudron requires deploying a custom Docker app, as the App Store version only supports the free edition:

"Unfortunately, there are no easy ways to install Pro with Cloudron because their appstore includes only the free version. The only way to run Pro on Cloudron is via a custom Docker app, which might be complex to configure."

Are there any suggestions or workarounds to get DocuSeal Pro running on Cloudron without too much complexity?

Thanks!

Indeed this is currently a limitation. We usually have to publish to flavors for apps if they ship a different code-base for paid and unpaid versions. Similar to what we do with onlyoffice. We will look into docuseal on how do this.

@lassekresse are there any public instructions on how the Pro container is built ?

Thank you so much for the quick response, I really appreciate it as this is a very time-sensitive project for us!

The installation instructions for DocuSeal Pro are provided after purchasing the license. I’ve attached the relevant instructions here for your reference.

I will also reach out to DocuSeal support to request more detailed information about this.

I reached out to the DocuSeal team, and their response was:

"Unfortunately, there are no public instructions on how the Pro container is built - the container is built by the DocuSeal team and provided to Pro customers as is, ready to use without build instructions."

Let me know if there’s anything else I can provide to assist.

We have also reached out to the DocuSeal team and got a swift response. Unfortunately they only offer a private docker image for pro, which we cannot build a package from. Seems there are some env variables required for migration also. Currently, they don't see high enough on-prem licenses to justify the extra work apparently to support us building a special pro app package, so I am afraid you have to host this outside of your Cloudron then

Hopefully this situation changes in the future.

What's the feature/need for Pro?

There are so many alternatives, it might be covered.

• There is only one role: admin. Every user sees every document.
• There is no whitelabeling
• No Workflows
• No conditionals
• No API
• A counter on the anonymous start page shows how many documents have been signed with DocuSeal in this instance.

All in all, a lot of features that people are interested in. Shame on them that the problem can't be solved by spending money and getting a key/file/license to enable these features on the Floss instance.
