RomM App For Cloudron

[murgero]

@joseph This package is forked and rewriten specifically to work on cloudron, is that what you mean?

[nebulon]

Basically on Cloudron apps should be derived from the Cloudron base image, to ensure all required tools are included. Otherwise some Cloudron features will not work correctly.

But also the app versions have to be pinned to specific releases, otherwise rebuilding a package from a tag can result in different images each time if some upstream images change.

Since you start with mitchellurgero/romm:local-cloudron-changes maybe you have those pinned there, but not sure where that is defined.

@nebulon I am working with the ROMM devs to fix a couple bugs I've found while packaging the app, however all cloudron features seem to be working as expected. Cloudron's image was not used in the current testing build I've been working on but I am sure if it's absolutely needed I could recreate the romm docker images using cloudron's base image.

Is it absolutely neccessary to be published that it uses cloudron's base image though?

[nebulon]

Ah yes, all apps in the Cloudron app library would have to be based on the Cloudron base image. This has various reasons. Since our base image does have a lot of things pre-installed, you can probably try if using FROM cloudron/base:4.2.0@sha256:46da2fffb36353ef714f97ae8e962bd2c212ca091108d768ba473078319a47f4 just works?

@nebulon I'll see about rebuilding and will get back to you on that. RomM team is still updating stuff on their end for a couple bugs I've found while working with them as well.

[nebulon]

@murgero do you have the source repo, if any for mitchellurgero/romm:local-cloudron-changes?

[murgero]

@nebulon I'm still rebuilding it to use the cloudron base image, currently my source tree (though not up to date) is https://git.cloudron.io/murgero/romm-cloudron. This is likely to change when the rewrite is done, waiting for upstream to merge a patch that fixes a crucial bug to get this working on cloudron.

[murgero]

They just merged the fix into their beta branch so only a matter of time now before I can rework this app to use the cloudron base

[murgero]

Bumping to let people know I have not forgotten, its just been a busy summer for me!

I put some effort today to package this app. I'm putting a link here to my repo, but it's not complete. Still need to figure out if I can get OIDC working and need to work on the config file and make use of /app/data. I took some ideas from what @murgero last showed and the official romm dockerfile, but built it using cloudron packaging format examples and supervisord.

I'll post here when I make any changes. Would love feedback from those knowing more about OIDC how to get it working.

Edit: cloudron gitlab has been spotty so here is a mirror: https://git.eyecreate.org/eyecreate/cloudron-romm

[murgero]

@eyecreate Thank you for this! I have lost a lot of time IRL with work and family stuff so someone else taking the mantle here is really helpful. I'll definitely be checking this out

[eyecreate]

Okay, I made some progress since I last wrote: I fixed some bugs preventing app from working and found a way to get OIDC working too. Now I need to put some effort into using the app and make sure everything is working, especially the remote api services and fix my bad use of secret key.
