Regular App Packaging Event

[fbartels]

@robi regarding fly.io: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7100/free-off-site-monitoring-with-fly-io-and-uptime-kuma/ or with a few more details at https://noted.lol/easy-off-site-monitoring-with-fly-io-and-uptime-kuma/

[robi]

@fbartels Thanks for the reminder!

[scooke]

Penpot would be nice. Or egroupware.

@robi said in Regular App Packaging Event:

@fbartels How about one or more of the Wireguard Apps?

That's another good topic, show and tell on how you do 3rd party monitoring with flies, haha. bzzzz

One of those easy to implement Wireguard solutions would be awesome, e.g. https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7571/netbird-foss-noconf-mesh-vpn-using-wireguard-alternative-to-zerotier-tailscale-omniedge-netmaker-etc/

I am up for it as well Anytime in Oct works. @luckow (/ @BrutalBirdie) has helped organize these in the past, so I will ask their help again...

[fbartels]

Maybe https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4355/penpot-design-freedom-for-teams could be interesting to look at. Their backend is unfortunately Java.

I got reminded of Penpot through todays annoucement of the aquisition of Figma through Adobe. I have used Figma in the past and it was an interesting tool, I would like to use it sometime again.

Their Docker source is available at https://github.com/penpot/penpot/tree/develop/docker/images and looks quite clean and nicely structured.

I'd like to watch and eventually join in the development when I'm more familiar with packaging apps for Cloudron.

[BrutalBirdie]

@colonelpanic I think such an event would be the best place to learn packaging.
So feel free to attend and ask as many questions as possible.

More appdevs more apps for Cloudron

[plusone-nick]

If anyone is willing to package the public reg app I published I think that could be a good "intro" or starting point since its built on top of the LAMP app

Will have an update soon (admin dash for env vars and legal docs)

Regardless I want to learn and look forward to this

[robi]

When is the next event?

I'm still deploying apps on two different servers. I use Cloudron when they have the app that I want and then I have a separate server where I deploy apps using the docker compose module in ansible. I was hopeful that I could join one of these sessions and get familiar with the process first and then start migrating everything to Cloudron. Any chance there is an event coming up? I live on the east coast of the US (EDT time zone), but I would join a meeting at any time if there is one being held soon. Please let me know!

[robi]

@colonelpanic the previous sessions have been recorded, so you can find those, such as https://forum.cloudron.io/post/22224

[plusone-nick]

@colonelpanic +1 i second this, I am also interested in any future events, especially during this summer

Also, I am curious - how do you like the Ansible/Compose method? That is my strat too for anything outside of Cloudron but would ideally like to learn more about the app packaging process as well

[colonelpanic]

@robi - thanks for pointing this out! I have it queued up for watching later today. I'll start a new thread if I have any questions after finishing the stream.

@plusone-nick - I love it! I was using docker-compose for the longest time and stumbled across the HomelabOS developer streaming on Twitch. It is not an OS (despite the name). It is really just a set of Ansible scripts to configure Docker on a remote host, but it has extra goodies like Terraform and a CLI for creating new roles, docs, etc. I contributed to the project for a while, but it has been probably 2-3 years. Since then I've just been using my own (simplified) set of roles/playbooks.

[robi]

Anyone care to plan new events?

[scooke]

@robi I wonder if we could look at what @vladimir-d and the Cloudron team did with cal.com (https://forum.cloudron.io/post/71317); perhaps get one of the them to walk us through the steps they took for this particular app.

[marcusquinn]

@scooke That might be a special kind of torture. Perhaps better for less complex apps that just work with standard Docker expectations. Something simpler like Chatbot UI perhaps.

[timconsidine]

@marcusquinn I agree.
With not so many tutorials available, I think a good approach is to start simple and produce more complex tutorials later.
