Add Bulk Start/Stop Controls for Multiple Apps

[IniBudi]

I’d like to suggest a feature to start or stop multiple apps at once.

At the moment (please cmiiw), if we want to stop an app, we have to open the app’s settings and then click the Stop/Running button for each app individually.

This works, but it can be time‑consuming when managing many apps.

It would be very helpful if Cloudron provided a way to:

• Select multiple apps from the app list (for example with checkboxes), and
• Perform actions on all selected apps at once, such as:
  • Stop apps
  • Start/Restart apps
  • (Optionally) Recovery mode or Task error

Some possible use cases:

• Temporarily stopping a group of non‑critical apps during maintenance or server load issues
• Quickly bringing multiple apps back online after maintenance
• Managing apps across different clients or projects more efficiently

This bulk action feature would save a lot of clicks and time, especially for users hosting many apps on a single Cloudron instance.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and thanks again for all the work on Cloudron.

Best Regards.

Personally I'd like to be able to update lots of apps like this too.

Yes, I agree with you. It's like an update feature, theme, or plugin in WordPress. We're able to update many of the apps in bulk

The last time I brought this up, the idea was to bring to the list view (but not Grid view). Especially updating multiple apps is a pain if you are updating manually.
