    @jtippetts : generally straight forward if someone has packaged the app already

    • install cloudron CLI on your local computer and connect your PC to your cloudron account : see https://docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/tutorial/?support_view
    • install Docker for your local computer (and docker-compose if you want)
    • open an account on Docker which gives your repo-name (needed below)
    • create a directory on your local computer
    • change into it
    • download the app repo files into it
    • run docker build -t <repo-name>/<app-name>:<tag-name> .
      • replace <repo-name>, <app-name> and <tag-name> in the command
      • <tag-name> can be anything to distinguish different builds ( I usually use YYMMDDa)
      • remember the trailing dot in the command
    • after building, run docker push <repo-name>/<app-name>:<tag-name>
    • run cloudron install --image <repo-name>/<app-name>:<tag-name>
    • follow the prompts

    Generally that gets you an installation of the custom non-official app.

    Shout if you get errors.

    Hope this is not too late to be useful.

          @doodlemania2 I do appear to have unpushed changes but the only thing I've done recently was bump the image to 3.0. My version is 1.5.0.

            @doodlemania2 would be awesome, if you could push your pending changes. I have just looked into your repo and tried to improve towards an official package. On the way I have seen the superuser account creation being manual, so I have also created an upstream issue about how to automate this https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng/issues/1531

                @doodlemania2 yes, I'm very happy with my installation of custom package. Definitely stable and production ready. If it can be made an official packaged app, that would be awesome.

                  Sounds great!

                  I guess I could use this to index everything in my existing PDF library to make it all more searchable and easier to find things, right?

                    @jdaviescoates yes. Not only PDF files but also images, text files, etc. Once OCR'd, they are all available in a nice web interface for you to search. Surely will be a great addition to Cloudron!

                        Before I go crazy trying to do a custom install, it sounds like this is something that's very close to being ready to add to the list of supported apps from the app store? Is that possible in the near future or should I spend my weekend trying to figure this out?

                            @jtippetts as this month is not a packaging month for the Cloudron team, it's one of the upcoming ones. 🙂

                                  @timconsidine quick question. So, if we install a custom app like this in Cloudron, what happens when this app is made available from the Cloudron appstore? Will the new app integrate with this one seamlessly (for updates and stuff) or will it be a totally new app requiring us to reconfigure everything?

                                        @timconsidine quick question. So, if we install a custom app like this in Cloudron, what happens when this app is made available from the Cloudron appstore? Will the new app integrate with this one seamlessly (for updates and stuff) or will it be a totally new app requiring us to reconfigure everything?

                                        @neurokrish I may be able to assist here - I'll submit my package to the app store and I think that will fix custom to app store update (but maybe not hehe)

                                          @timconsidine @doodlemania2 Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know I got this successfully installed! Thank you so much for your help. The fact that Cloudron gives people the ability to customize it for their exact use case is incredible. Many thanks to the entire community!
