Pre Sales Questions

Hi Cloudron Team,
Three presales questions:
- I read in an old post (from 2020) that the same application can only be installed 5 times within the same Cloudron.
Is this still the case, or has this limitation been removed?
In my case, I want to install 20 instances of the same app for 20 clients. I want to see if I can do this with one Cloudron license. Or, on the contrary, will I need four licenses? And is it allowed to market this according to Cloudron's TOCs?
-
Is it possible to create databases (e.g., Postgree) in Cloudron? There are applications, such as MetaBase, that need to connect to an external database. And, from what I can see, I'm afraid that would be something to configure outside of Cloudron.
-
Is it possible to add other open source applications?
I'm not a developer, but if it's not too complicated, I'd like to try to help package them so that we can all have them. Because although the Cloudron catalog is very good, I see that new interesting applications are appearing every day that are offered on other platforms (e.g., Coolify) and are not available on Cloudron.
Thank you for your answers.

Hello @elorden and welcome to the Cloudron forum.
I will answer your questions:

You can even test this on the Cloudron Demo Server https://my.demo.cloudron.io/
I just installed 8x LAMP apps:

Yes you can do so and yes you can market/sell these with no issues.
Be aware, since each app may come with its own license and conditions, please respect them as well.
What you do with your Cloudron Server is fully up to you.
Cloudron does not impose restrictions in this regard.If you'd like to read our terms, thery are linked here: https://www.cloudron.io/legal/terms.html

Currently, there is no APP just providing a database like PostgreSQL or MySQL etc.
In your question, would this MetaBase be hosted outside the Cloudron server or on the same Cloudron server?But, creating a simple app that just provides a singular postgresql, mysql or mongodb would be a fast workaround to have Cloudron still provide and manage these Databases.

Yes, many people here even publish and maintain their own apps.
For example, @BrutalBirdie with his custom FoundryVTT requested from this topic https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8296/foundry-virtual-tabletop

Packaging a Cloudron App comes with some caveats.
There is a big doc section about this topic here: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/
When packaging you will always have to have the Cloudron App filesystem in mind.
If there are any questions left, or I created new ones, please ask away.
