is it possible to add portainer or create simpler solution for installing apps not available on cloudron and make it isolated from the rest of cloudron apps?
@LeZalata short simple answer : no, not possible currently and maybe not ever
Cloudron requires apps to be packaged in a particular way - see Cloudron docs.There are however a number of custom apps which have been packaged as Cloudron needs, but are not yet in the Cloudron App Store.
Many of these can be installed to your Cloudron using my https://ccai.appx.uk installer app. -
yes @timconsidine is correct. Portainer will not and probably never work or be supported on Cloudron. For a start, Cloudron is not a generic docker image deployment platform. But also even if it would be, then portainer and Cloudron would be at the same level rather than one ontop of the other.

so is there any plans for official way to install contained external apps not in cloudron?
@LeZalata I should possibly let (@)staff give the official answer but I think it will go like this.
All apps must comply with Cloudron criteria to be in the AppStore which means packaging them according to the docs (AppPackaging).
If so, you can install anything you want using the traditional (manual) approach of clone repo, build image, use Cloudron CLI to install.
Unofficially you can use my hosted Cloudron custom app installer to ease this process (or install in your own Clinton for max privacy).
Basically what I said in first response .
Just because an app is in a container or docker image does not mean it can be installed in Cloudron.
Some apps (eg Supabase) are difficult to package and deploy on Cloudron.Other platforms like Heroku and Yunohost appear much more open, but they’re littered with apps which don’t work fully, become outdated on versions etc. and generally don’t come close to matching the stability and reliability of Cloudron.
