can we get this in the app store please? @girish @nebulon

[BrutalBirdie]

@RazielKanos The packaging I done does not comply with the Cloudron Team standards for packaging apps for the appstore.
There are life cycle tests missing to automate the whole release process.

Also since VTT requires a license to even download the latest version (or any version) this package needs to be maintained by someone with a license.

Also the possible life cycle tests are near endless with this software since it is extendable by thousands of plugins.

So there is work that needs to be done.
I could do that, but right now I have no time.

[RazielKanos]

a shame, unfortunately i am an idiot when it comes to linux. I've been starring on the git page for days now, and have no clue what to do to get it installed xD

TL;DR

---

• ️ replace DOMAIN.TLD with your domain
• ️ You need a Cloudron subscription for this
• ️ You need a FoundryVTT Licence for this

1. Install npm

2. On Linux - Run this to install the Cloudron Cli:

sudo npm install -g cloudron

3. Run this to login into your Cloudron:

cloudron login my.DOMAIN.TLD

4. Run this to install the custom app:

cloudron install --location vtt.DOMAIN.TLD --image brutalbirdie/foundryvtt.cloudron.app:0.0.4

️ When you configured a private registry in Cloudron you might need to disable your private registry.

Have people been having good fun with Foundry, @BrutalBirdie ?

[BrutalBirdie]

@LoudLemur Can only speak for myself and friends who use it for DnD and DSA and yea been fun an stable so far.

@BrutalBirdie said in Foundry Virtual Tabletop:

DnD and DSA

I had never heard of the Dark Eye before.
https://ulisses-us.com/
that is DSA, right? Das Schwarze Augen

It is meant to be more popular than D&D, I was surprised to hear.

[BrutalBirdie]

@LoudLemur
Yes DSA - Das Schwarze Auge is The Dark Eye exactly the URL you posted.
There is also DSK - The Black Cat a more child friendly version but not sure if there is an English version https://ulisses-spiele.de/game-system/die-schwarze-katze/

For me I put it this way, DsA is more role play and DnD more fighting.

But there are many more game systems https://foundryvtt.com/packages/systems

@BrutalBirdie Quick question, I've got the image pushed to my custom registry on Cloudron, but when trying to install it I get an error:

App installation error: No CloudronManifest.json found

Any thoughts on this by chance? I followed the steps here in this topic and on your Github, including adding: $(jq -r .id CloudronManifest.json):$(jq -r .version CloudronManifest.json)

@JLX89 said in Foundry Virtual Tabletop:

Not needed. Since my Image is publicly available.
You can just do the following:

The error No CloudronManifest.json found means you don't have that file
Are you inside the repo?
For now maybe follow my little terminal recording, and YES you can copy from there

[BrutalBirdie]

@JLX89 Also thanks for indirectly pointing out that the README was not clear enough.
I also updated the README in my github repo.

[JLX89]

@BrutalBirdie Thank you, that helps quite a bit. The only step I'm unclear on based on your README and the video. Seems you start in /tmp/cloudron, do you start out with say a LAMP app , or just directly ssh into your cloudron server?

I basically pulled your Docker Hub image to my local computer, then pushed it by tag to the Cloudron Private Docker Registry and attempted to install using that method as outlined in the Install section of the README. At that point, that is where I got the App installation error: No CloudronManifest.json found error.

@BrutalBirdie I really appreciate your help -- this is the first time I'm doing this.

[BrutalBirdie]

To install a custom app, you need the cloudron-cli on your local PC, not the Cloudron server.

Then you clone the git repository of the custom app you want to install, like I did in the video.
cd into the repository and do exactly what I did.

The error you get means you are not in the repository of the app, the CloudronManifest.json is missing in your current folder.

In the video I only start in /tmp/cloudron because its a demo and I want that stuff to be deleted automatically after I am done with my day.
You can clone the repo where ever you like.

---

And again, no need to pull the Image first and push it to your registry, even if you have it configured in your Cloudron server.
You can just copy paste from my terminal recording and it should work. (just replace the --location with your desired location).
My image is publicly available and the server can pull it even if you have a private docker registry configured.

Seems like there should be a way to just pull it directly from your registry w/o the git clone.

[JLX89]

@BrutalBirdie Thanks for following up, that makes a lot more sense. I already have the cloudron-cli installed on my local machine and it's a lot more clear on the tmp/cloudron directory now, thank you for clearing that up.

As far as the CloudronManifest.json, I was getting that error because I was pulling the Docker image down to my local machine and then pushing the entire image to the Private Docker Registry on my Cloudron instance.

There was a misunderstanding on my part, when following the various docs I was following:

• Cloudron CLI
• Packaging Tutorial
• Private Docker Registry Settings
• Docker Registry

I'll take another swing at this and really appreciate your help!

I originally thought this was the case, thinking that you had to enable the Private Docker Registry and use the cloudron-cli to just push the image to your Cloudron instance and install the app.

Please delete this message if it breaks any forum rules, but: I would be happy to share my Foundry account details with anyone motivated to maintain an official package. I believe this would be allowed by the license (see Limited License for Package Development), so long as the package maintainer does not “use” the software themselves:

You may distribute these packages provided they are designed to be used only in conjunction with a licensed copy of the software.

I assume “use” refers to actual play, not testing to make sure it installs correctly and then deleting it.
