    Encountering a snag:

    The ONLYOFFICE integration seems to fail to send the JWT token to an ONLYOFFICE instance. My best guess rn is its an issue with apache -> nginx -> ONLYOFFICE. Is anyone else more familiar with this sort of reverse proxy issue?

    Edit: Fixed it. Testing and pushing a new release.

    Edit 2: I am tempted to leave updating to the app, similar to Wordpress Developer Edition. I auto install the Updater module. If @staff want to take a look at this let me know. Repo is here: https://git.atridad.dev/CTPR/cloudron-humhub-app. It was a sponsored app. If you need an instance to take a look at it let me know via a direct message and I can let you in @staff.

      @atrilahiji ah, great stuff! Ideally, the app shouldn't update itself and the code should be readonly. Is that possible? It's best to keep updates consistent i.e from Cloudron dashboard.

        @girish I can definitely try. Much like Moodle, it has a lot of plugins or "modules" people use. I think in this instance they are all in a single directory though. I'll take a look.

            @girish Sure, thanks! I'll shuffle some things around in the package and see what I can do. My hope is I can just symlink everything that is needed in a migration to /app/data, which will also make updates a lot easier.

              @girish Actually, I just thought of something. If the modules folder is symlinked and the app is expecting to write to the modules folder in /app/code, it will error right? I imagine it wouldn't just look at the actual folder in /app/data. The trouble here is there is a "module store" of sorts built right into the app.

                @atrilahiji maybe you can symlink /app/code/modules to /app/data/modules and that way it will become writable.

                To give a high level idea, let's say humhub app comes with some default modules. Then, in Dockerfile, you would move them to some other location like:

                RUN mv /app/code/modules /app/code/modules_orig && ln -s /app/data/modules /app/code/modules

                Then in start.sh:

                mkdir -p /app/code/modules
                cp -r /app/code/modules_orig/* /app/data/modules
                

                In many apps, instead of the blind copy above, we try to symlink each "module". So, there will be a symlink from /app/data/modules/x to /app/code/modules_orig/x . This sometimes works or not depending on the app. But hopefully you get the idea!

                    @girish Running into issues here: https://docs.humhub.org/docs/admin/installation/#file-permissions

                    There appears to be no way to configure where Hubhub looks for those files, so it will just keep trying to write to the symlink in /app/code and fail. In fact, you cant even get the site to load after installation without having the assets directory writable. This is something it has to do on startup. I can still make an update script for this, but I think it will have to sit in /app/data just based on how this was written. Unless I'm missing something?

                      no, that should not be the case (at least when the symlinked dir has proper permissions for this).

                                  @atrilahiji for me this works with

                                    @fbartels Huh so you manually started start.sh from the terminal in recovery mode? I get the exact same error doing that. Did you do something else to modify the permissions?

                                      @atrilahiji no, no changes at all. maybe some leftovers from a previous installation of yours?

                                      Yes, you can run cloudron install --debug where then the init script is not run. you then need to exec into the app and run it manually.

                                          @fbartels Oh weird yeah that works... no clue why it wouldn't work if the start.sh is run normally during an install...

                                          IDK if you saw the same error but if I don't start in debug mode and switch to Recovery Mode, running start.sh results in a permission error for PHP again.

                                          EDIT: Nvm I think I figured it out...
