      @girish Yes, exactly. I am trying at the moment to copy the app from /app/code to /app/data to see, if it works overthere

      @Kubernetes you should symlink it into /run instead. Something like this in Dockerfile:

      RUN mv /app/code/static /app/code/static.original && ln -s /run/static /app/code/static
      

      Then in start.sh:

      mkdir -p /run/static
      rsync -avz /app/code/static.original/* /run/static

        @Kubernetes ah, awesome. Just move it to /run though. Anything in /app/data is backed up and this is just runtime/cache data (from what I can make out).

            Nice, thanks!

            I was just reading more about this and see now this is an reddit frontend. This is not like a selfhosted reddit . What is the future for such frontend apps given the reddit API pricing changes?

              Teddit does not use the API.

              Main repository at Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

              From: teddit.net

              A free and open source alternative Reddit front-end focused on privacy.
              Inspired by the Nitter project.

              • No JavaScript or ads
              • All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Reddit
              • Prevents Reddit from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
              • Unofficial API (RSS & JSON support, no rate limits or Reddit account required)
              • Lightweight (teddit frontpage: ~30 HTTP requests with ~270 KB of data downloaded vs. Reddit frontpage: ~190 requests with ~24 MB)
              • Self-hostable. Anyone can setup an instance. An instance can either use Reddit's API with or without OAuth (so Reddit API key is not necessarily needed).

                Makes one wonder why all the API pricing fuss.

                Still, I'd prefer a self-hosted reddit over this, but both are useful apps. Same for nitter and bibliogram, etc.

                  @robi well, it‘s more a “viewer” for reddit. You can’t login or post or upvote but you can subscribe and save articles outside your reddit account. That’s why this was not an option for Apollo and the like.
                  I think for many that’s exactly the level of “interaction” you wanna have with reddit after the shit they pulled in the last weeks… Use it as a knowledge base but don’t add value to it.

                      I think you already know Plebbit, which is a Free Software, distributed, self-hosted alternative to Reddit:

                      Privacy Redirect is a browser extension which greatly improves life by sending you to privacy-friendly instances for e.g. Reddit, Youtube, etc.

                        This is a good point. I think most users, maybe 90% on Reddit, lurk. All they need is something like Teddit. Reddit has become yet another anti-social corporation.

                          Fantastic, you rising star! I was hoping for this for some time and thank you very much for making it happen. I hope it won't be long until we see it in the main Cloudron suite of applications.

                            There is also LibReddit as a view-only reading app for Reddit
                            https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit
                            Might be easy to package

                                @Kubernetes

                                Thanks very much for this. I am just looking at the documentation and quickly making a few notes which might help make using this easier for people who haven't tried using an application which is not yet officially supported on Cloudron. These notes are generally wrong, and should not be followed, but might be what a newbie might try doing.

                                cloudron-app-package
                                Package for deloyment of this app on Cloudron

                                THIS IS ONLY A PROJECT TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO DEPLOY THIS APP ON CLOUDRON
                                To deploy it manually on Cloudron follow this instruction:
                                I think it would be good to start with stating that you need to take the image from its repo and put it onto your Cloudron's Operating System somehow, and explain how to do this.

                                Say where: On your Operating System (e.g. Ubuntu) open a terminal and...
                                Build the docker Image:

                                It might be good to mention navigating to a particular folder.

                                What goes into a terminal can be included in code brackets like this:

                                docker build -t APPNAME .
                                

                                docker build -t APPNAME .

                                Tag the docker Image:

                                With instructions like this, it is also helpful for people if they see a worked example. It can also help to mention where the image registry is. For example, is it on Gitlab, or my server, or... So you could include a line saying, "For example, if your Cloudron is called funnycats.com then type this:

                                docker tag APPNAME:latest https://funnycats.com/appname
                                

                                docker tag APPNAME:latest URL-OF-YOUR-IMAGE-REGISTRY/APPNAME

                                Push Image to registry:
                                It might help if it is briefly mentioned what this accomplishes.
                                docker push URL-OF-YOUR-IMAGE-REGISTRY/APPNAME

                                Install image on your Cloudron Instance:

                                cloudron install --image URL-OF-YOUR-IMAGE-REGISTRY/APPNAME

                                  I know nothing but I thought it was all connected to "knowledge sites" being sucked dry by AI engines harvesting data. So they raised prices, similar to Twitter imposing usage limits.

                                  But maybe it's about something else

                                    @Kubernetes Pretty great how well this works! I have no idea how it gets the reddit data. I have published an initial package. Code moved to https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/teddit-app

                                    Please let the upstream project know the package exists.

                                      I can't see this as a new application in Cloudron yet. I would like to test it there as soon as possible.

                                        @LoudLemur I announced it 5 mins too soon. Can you try again now?

                                          @girish I moved it to /run and it works fine now. thanks for the hint. It need some time to get used to all those patterns 🙂

                                          btw: repo is updated

                                          @Kubernetes btw, I saw that you moved the entire code into /run. Only the specific directories where the app writes into should be symlinked. By keeping the code in /app/code, we keep the code in "read only" parts of container. This keeps things more secure since the code cannot be modified at run time (prevents a whole range of attacks).
