Cloudron Non-App Store Packaged Apps

[girish]

If you want we can keep track of them in this forum as well as a WIP thread instead of a WIP tag. The WIP tag currently only indicates what @nebulon and I are working on to get them published and not what has already been packaged/contributed in various states.

We can make the topic sticky and also I think I have to give you mod permissions so you can keep it updated by editing it. Similar to what @jdaviescoates 's thread of who has contributed so far.

@girish I'm not entirely following - how would this be related to the repo? What would be the 'source of truth'?

[A Former User]

I have a couple I'm still working on (Oragono being the most recent effort)

[thetomester13]

@atrilahiji I hope to have the new format up and running soon for devs to contribute what they're working on!

[thetomester13]

Ok, I think I figured it out. The repo now includes a packaged_apps.json file that is machine readable and is the source of truth for the README list. The README gets updated with a pre-commit hook that will compile the list (plus a prefix and postfix) whenever a commit gets made.

Thoughts/Merge Requests/more Apps listed are welcome!

@thetomester13 I meant maintaining a forum post like https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3344/app-contributions-hall-of-fame . It's probably easier to maintain since people can leave a note on this forum instead of sending you a PR each time.

[thetomester13]

@girish I see. Shall I edit the top post in this thread to get the list going?

[murgero]

@fbartels Markdown is easily machine readable, human readable, and also compatible with gitlab

[girish]

@thetomester13 Or you can make a new post, up to you. You are mod in this category in any case.

[thetomester13]

@girish I like the title of this thread so I just updated the top post thanks for mod status! I'll keep an eye on this thread and update it and the repo if people submit other apps.

I also have some apps that I am using privately and that I can contribute if people are interested:

• Nginx: A simple nginx install with PHP support. Similar to LAMP but with nginx
• Zola: A package using zola (getzola.org) to build static pages. The code comes from a git repo and supports webhook triggers to allow a nice push to git -> build static page workflow.

[thetomester13]

@dswd very cool! I could see the nginx app being useful for some people for sure.

As for Zola, is there a UI to it at all? Or is the app you packaged just the server serving up Zola static sites?

[dswd]

@thetomester13 There is no UI in the package. Zola has a serve mode where it listens to changes and rebuilds automatically. You can use this to edit the files and see the changes in the browser in almost realtime. That is as close as zola gets to a UI (it's not a wiki). However, this is not packaged by me. You don't want visitors to see your edits live, do you? You use the serve mode locally to edit the pages and then push them to git which triggers my zola app to build and host the static pages.

[dswd]

Here are the repos for the apps:

• zola: https://git.ddswd.de/cloudron/zola-app
• nginx: https://git.ddswd.de/cloudron/nginx-app

[thetomester13]

@dswd just added those 2 to the post above!

[rmdes]

I stumbled on a Gitea domain with all the non-store app in one place, can anyone provide the link again, I can't find it...:/

[thetomester13]

@rmdes you might be talking about @atridad 's Alt-Ron. I believe it's moved around a few times. Most recently he said he'll upload his repos to Cloudron's git.

[rmdes]

@thetomester13 Oh thanks, exactly what I'm looking for

[A Former User]

lol yup... it was a cheesy name too. I'm just going to move things over.

@rmdes https://git.cloudron.io/atridad

I set my Gitea instance to push to those every hour.
