Grist is now available

[girish]

Grist is a modern relational spreadsheet. It combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet with the robustness of a database.

Thanks to @timconsidine for packaging this!

Note: package is still unstable and I just clicked around and it worked. We will be setting up tests before making it stable.

Thanks for doing this!

I work at Grist, and we see a lot of self-hosters activating and using our Enterprise features. An extra build step is needed to include that option. If you added:

yarn run install:ee

just before:

yarn run build

Then Grist would build just as it does now, but there would be an extra toggle available in its admin page to turn on enterprise features if the end-user wants that. Most self-hosters quality to use those features for free.

Just a thought. Happy to help if there are any other packaging issues. I'd suggest (if you haven't already) checking the /admin page for all self-diagnostics, such as checking that sandboxing is working.

@paulfitz Hi Paul - thanks for stopping by and your helpful pointers.
No doubt that this will be looked at by the Cloudron Team in no time.

Depending on what the @staff thinks, do you think that adding cloudron there could be an option?

Is there any requirements / wishes from you/Grist for this to happen?

Having you here on the forum is most appreciated!

Hi and welcome @paulfitz! This is a great hint and we will certainly adjust the package to make this possible for your and our users. I am especially happy if this works without having to publish two app flavors for this like some other apps require.

New app package is out, which prepares the app for enterprise edition usage.

Perfect, thanks you @nebulon ! Yes, there's no need for two flavors, there's a toggle in the admin panel. @teiluj I'll look at getting cloudron on that "Get started quickly" list.
