Budibase: an open source, no code platform
-
@humptydumpty Or Gramateria wraps up GrapesJS nicely: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/43190
@marcusquinn thanks for pointing this out!
It feels like a different set of product, quite interesting, but doesn’t seem to updates too often… -
What happened to this? Was someone here packaging it? Something we can help with?
I can see it, at a minimum, being a useful tool for creating web forms.
@marcusquinn
not impossible to containerize it, but almost impossible to do it for cloudron.
It needs to be installed with docker-compose because it uses multiple docker containers to run:- CouchDB (the only primary DB supported)
- Minio
- Main Container
- Worker (execute most of the process)
- Proxy
- watchtower (this is not needed in a Cloudron install)
-
Another example of it being useful to have Cloudron LDAP able to server others apps as well then.

Can I use this app to build a one-page html "responsive" site? If not, what would you recommend?
Currently, using Wordpress but it's an overkill for a static page.

I see Budibase as an alternative to Notion (and so ClickUp and Asana) and while it is possible to build a blog/website with Notion, I also agreed with @timconsidine, none of these solutions are the best for that kind of task unless you want to learn through the process. The main reason is these apps would act as a database for your one page (like MySQL for WordPress).
Usually a database in a website is to generate dynamically page and content
So if your goal is to have a one-page website, well that is like building a complete office tower only to use one office.For a quick and fast one-page, I often use Hugo with WowChemy.

I was wondering if the Cloudron community would be interested in a Budibase add-on?
For viewers who don't know, Budibase is an open-source low code platform for building internal tools. You can connect your SQL database and generate responsive CRUD apps in a couple of clicks. You can find out more info on the Budibase Github repo.
The reason for this post is to understand the level of interest for this add-on so I (cofounder) can add weight to my proposal at our next roadmap meeting.
@joebudi Hi Joe !
You know I'm a fan of Budibase (although personal circumstances have prevented me exploring further).
In principle yes !
The 'in principle' is about what "add-on" means.
What kind of interaction or functionality are you thinking of ? -

@joebudi there is an existing entry for Budibase in App Wishlist

We're not supposed to open duplicates !

Maybe my post was not clear - apologies. What I am asking is would members of this community find value in a Budibase package/app on the Cloudron app store:

https://www.cloudron.io/store/index.html#@joebudi ok, thought you probably meant that, but wasn't entirely sure.
My answer would be emphatically yes !
I've previously believed it is too complex for Cloudron packaging (multiple containers etc.), but you're the tech whizz.Certainly Budibase has been mentioned in a few threads.

@joebudi hi and welcome to our forum! We would happily work together with you on a Budibase app package. In our experience working closely together with upstream is always super helpful in initial packaging as well as ongoing updates for smooth data migration.
To give a very rough overview on Cloudron packages, they are Dockerimage based, the apps need to run in a read-only filesystem, where
/app/datais writeable for persistent data, while/tmpand/runare for transient data. Further Cloudron comes with shared services like databases, which we call addons. You can find them here to avoid duplicating common services per app and for databases, ensure data dumps are coherent for backups, restore or app cloning. -
@timconsidine We're currently working on a single docker image deployment for Budibase. We plan on releasing this in a couple of weeks. This should enable the above.

@joebudi - I've been playing around with an environment hosted by Budibase. I would love to see this packaged with Cloudron at some point because it meets almost all of my needs and all of the apps I want to integrate with it are already on Cloudron.

Cloudron team, please check! I think now is possible to run budibase into cloudron! The budibase devs has announced a list of great updates! One of then is:
The Budibase all in one image, for use as a single image which provides all necessary services.
Announcement:
Docker image here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/budibase/budibase -
Budibase is now in version 2 since a couple of days, keeping the open source tier. Given the amount of additional functionality the platform has gained since the original discussion here took place, especially now with version 2, I feel it would be a great addition to the cloudron App Store, what are your thoughts on this @joebudi @nebulon ?
