License issue

[nebulon]

We have set a total app limit long time back which happens to be 200 apps per Cloudron to prevent from abuse or rouge scripts against the API. You are the first one to hit this! I increased the limit now and it should work again.

Sorry for the interruption.

Thank you for the prompt response

Hi again,

I checked, its not allowing me to create more apps. I have total of 210 apps.

Its interrupting our workflow. Could you kindly check this from your end?

Thank you

@arta Strange. I can confirm that the limit is 300 now and is deployed. What is the error message or error code you are getting? Are you using the API or the UI to install apps?

[arta]

Hi,

We are using the UI to create apps. Getting same error as I initially stated. The screenshot.

[arta]

Need to reissue the license or some command? I did restart the server and restarted box as well. But still it says the same thing.

[arta]

Hi, any updates?

[girish]

@arta I sent you a mail now from support@ . Can you please check?

[girish]

Should be resolved now. There were 2 limits, only one was bumped.

[arta]

Hi

Yes it’s fixed now

Does this mean after we reach 300 we need to get in touch again?

I still don't see the reasoning behind this limitation while the license agreement clearly states unlimited apps.

I'd appreciate a clarification.

Thank you

yes. currently, the installed apps are being tracked in the appstore database which has these field size limitations and fk constraints.

This is in the territory of 'unlimited' always has limits

But I agree it's all inconvenient and we don't like the extra work either. In Cloudron 9, we removed all this app "registration" stuff entirely. It used to be like https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/8.3/src/apps.js?ref_type=heads#L2462, but it's all gone. So, you won't this any more soonish since app installation does not contact app store any more other than downloading the manifest.

Thank you for clarification.

Hi Girish, we hit 300 apps now and we are getting this error:

Error creating Cloudron app: Too many installed apps. Please contact sales@cloudron.io

[girish]

@arta doubled to 600 . can you please try again?

[arta]

Yes sir, though I can't confirm if the limit is 600 now, but it passed 300. Thank you

@arta I'm really curious.
What kind of machine and use case do you have to run 300+ apps on one instance?

[andreasdueren]

@luckow Maybe some sort of shared hosting? Should be able to support lots of wordpress instances, LAMP stacks and Surfer apps.
