      That is probably one of the best ways to do it BUT if you don't mind reading documentation, I'd recommend reading the packaging docs: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/

      Really just need to a couple small changes to dockerfile then make a CloudronMaifest.json 🙂

        Hi there,

        Currently I have three Apps that I run with Docker on another Server and use the Cloudron App Proxy to reach them because they are not listed in the Cloudron App "Store".

        I wonder if there are better approaches than that? Any recommendations? In general I would prefer to run them on Cloudron Host.

        Best,
        Michael

        PS: List of the three Apps:

        • https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding
        • https://github.com/deiucanta/chatpad
        • https://github.com/CorentinTh/it-tools

        @Kubernetes just FYI :

        • I use Chatpad as a desktop app, rather than packaging it : works well
        • I have done a custom package of Chatbot-ui at https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/chatgpt-ui

        Appreciate that it doesn't answer your question directly, but @murgero has.

        Chatbot-ui only supports GPT3.5 but I don't have a key for ChatGPT4 yet, so that's not a problem for me.
        (I use the OpenAI plus subscription for ChatGPT4 usage)

          @murgero @timconsidine thanks for you replies.

          I was aware of the packaging. But I didn't have experience with the private docker registries. I did install the Chatbot-ui from @timconsidine successfully.

          I also tried to modify "IT-Tools" to get it deployed to Cloudron, but without success. I think the problem is that it tries to write by default to a read-only location and I don't know yet how to change that.

          Later I will also try with Linkding - but I guess it will similar regarding the read-only issue...

            @Kubernetes it-tools is really neat, thanks for introducing it.
            I tried a 'coffee-break' packaging of it-tools, meaning I checked to see if it could be packaged 'out of the box'.
            Sadly for me it couldn't although I didn't explore why.
            Maybe I will try again later with a bit more time and effort

              I got it-tools running after adding this to the nginx.conf file:

              client_body_temp_path /run/client_body;
              proxy_temp_path /run/proxy_temp;
              fastcgi_temp_path /run/fastcgi_temp;
              scgi_temp_path /run/scgi_temp;
              uwsgi_temp_path /run/uwsgi_temp;

                  However I was not able to get linkding running in Cloudron. I get error messages regarding bootstrap.sh and at the moment I have no idea where the real problem is.

                    If you package them for Cloudron, leave a note in the corresponding App Wishlist with a link to the repo and maybe we can look into getting them published. But otherwise, it's not possible to run plain ol' docker images directly on Cloudron.

                      @girish Done - I have created a App Wishlist Entry for IT-Tools. I hope I did everything the right way 🙂

                        I start to like packaging Apps for Cloudron 😉

                        So, two of my three Apps are running in Cloudron and I published the packages repos in the App Wishlist.

                        Next thing will be Linkding... but I am not sure if I can really make it...

                            Indirectly you could by using sysbox. What happened to making it an option for an app build?
