Windmill: Open-source alternative to Airplane, Superblocks, Retool

[zonzonzon]

This application is excellent, it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t appear on Cloudron.
There’s another option besides n8n.
It runs stably and it seems I’ve been running it for nearly a year now without encountering any problems. I hope the Cloudron team will add it to the app store.

Started a packaging attempt - complex - multiple components.
We shall see ...

Got a 0.0.1 installation

But some issues to resolve …

If anyone has a recommendation for Windmill tutorial, let me know. Reading the docs but sometimes guide is better.

Anyone want to volunteer to test it ?
I’m not sure yet what I’m doing
Can create a user for you

Wow, I am impressed with Windmill !

I have done basic testing, and I have pushed to CustomAppGateway so it is available as single install, or using CCAI-P (refresh page if already installed).

Cloudron release version 0.0.5 packaging Windmill CE v1.628.3

More testing needed through exploration.
Let me know any issues you 'early-adopters' find.

Turning attention to Dif as well as exploring Windmill.

If you are struggling to set up email in Windmill (as I have been), you need to open a terminal for the app from Cloudron app dashboard, and then run env | grep SMTP.

This will give you the correct details to put in the instance settings SMTP tab.

@timconsidine I can test it. Can you create help me create a user ?

I’m also on Windmill CE v1.628.3; they’ve just updated the datatable feature and added the ability to create a frontend using React. I don’t quite understand how to customize an app on Cloudron yet, and how to upgrade it with each change?. @timconsidine

Customise ? Pretty easy but depends what you are seeking to do

how to upgrade it with each change

well, the traditional cycle is code -> build docker image -> push to a docker repository (hub.docker.com or set up your own repo registry here on Cloudron - it's in the AppStore) -> use Cloudron CLI to execute cloudron update --app xxx.yyy.zzz

But maybe that's not the questions you were asking ?

"One-click" installation for Windmill on a user's own Cloudron instance :
