    @luckow does the community app solve your image download ?

    @James, how do we communicate updates available ? Just push new details to CloudronVersions.json and Cloudron platform will pick them up and advise those who installed it ? (no update in this one - just a repackage)

        Hello @timconsidine

        When you update the CloudronManifest.json file at e.g.: https://communityapps.appx.uk/cloudron-dify/CloudronVersions.json installation that used this URL will pickup the update automatically.

          @timconsidine if you want (to increase you work πŸ˜„ ), you can open a separate package updates thread for a package.

              For all developers who work with large language models and prompts, there are graphical user interfaces that can make life easier.

              Dify.ai is especially good and, that's the best part, it can be self-hosted.
              Self-hosting documentation: https://docs.dify.ai/getting-started/install-self-hosted

              Feature overview:

              • Building visual prompt workflows
              • Supports multiple LLMs, incl. open-source ones
              • Supports RAGs and vector databases
              • It has an API that you can use to integrate into your own application
              • You can log and evaluate your user's requests

              I searched for a long time for a good open solution, and came to the conclusion that this is my favourite.

              I would love to see this on cloudron and maybe other developers who work with LLMs might agree.

                @LoudLemur also already packaged as community app
                If you don’t check before posting, you risk becoming a bot posting slop

                  @timconsidine This is a good point. If I do try these in the future, I shall be sure of checking if they are packaged first. It is useful to check if the estimates prove accurate though.

                  Can you remember if this was actually hard?

                      Updated my Dify community app to upstream 1.14.2 with sandbox enabled

                      https://communityapps.appx.uk/cloudron-dify/CloudronVersions.json

                      I'm not a Dify expert. Started it mostly for RAG, but I use my own simpler more-focussed custom RAG apps. Looking for use cases for Dify.

                        @timconsidine

                        Bug report for the Cloudron Dify community package: plugins fail: "failed to find uv path"

                        Package: io.timconsidine.dify (community), version 2.0.15, image forgejo.tcjc.uk/cca/cloudron-dify:2.0.15
                        Cloudron: 9.x

                        Symptom

                        Installing any model-provider plugin from the Marketplace (e.g. Text Embedding Inference / langgenius/huggingface_tei) fails with:

                        failed to launch plugin: failed to find uv path: failed to find uv path: exit status 1
                        failed to init environment
                        

                        Because in Dify 2.0 every model provider is a Python plugin, this blocks all providers β€” embeddings, LLMs, and rerank β€” so the app can't be wired to any model.

                        Root cause (verified in the running container)

                        The image does not contain the uv binary, but the plugin daemon shells out to uv to build each plugin's Python venv.

                        • which uv, find / -name uv -type f, /app/code/api/.venv/bin/uv, and python -c "import uv" all come up empty.
                        • start.sh expects uv: it creates /app/data/cache/uv and /app/data/uv/python and exports UV_CACHE_DIR / UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR, but the binary itself was never installed, and no UV_PATH is set.
                        • The plugin daemon's PATH (inherited from start.sh β†’ supervisord) is /app/code/api/.venv/bin:/usr/local/...:/usr/bin:... β€” all read-only, none containing uv.

                        It is not fixable at runtime by the operator: the rootfs is read-only, and start.sh regenerates /app/data/api-env on every boot, so there is no persistent hook to add uv or UV_PATH.

                        Suggested fix (image-side)

                        Install uv into the image and make it discoverable to the plugin daemon. Any one of:

                        1. In the Dockerfile, install uv into the API venv: pip install uv (puts uv in /app/code/api/.venv/bin, already on the daemon's PATH), or copy the static binary: COPY --from=ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:latest /uv /usr/local/bin/uv.
                        2. Optionally also export an explicit UV_PATH=/usr/local/bin/uv (or the venv path) in start.sh so the daemon doesn't rely on PATH lookup.

                        After that, confirm a Marketplace plugin (e.g. langgenius/huggingface_tei) installs and a Rerank model can be added.

                        Note

                        Pin/ship a known uv version for reproducibility. This is the same class as langgenius/dify#19522, but here uv is genuinely absent from the image rather than mis-detected.
