@girish said in What's coming in 9.1:
Community packages - can be installed from a URL via the dashboard. Cloudron will track the upstream URL and automatically check for and apply updates. Will allow people to publish outside Cloudron App store and users can easily install these packages and keep them automatically updated. For discovery, we will maintain a list either on the forum or in the documentation (TBD).
Just my 2 cents: It's great that several people, mostly @timconsidine are packaging so many interesting apps. Bear in mind though, maintaining and supporting such apps after the initial packaging is a whole different ballgame.
The Cloudron team currently provides excellent support for their apps, in fact so good, that you see people looking for support in this forum that don't use Cloudron.
If one or two persons, who don't get paid package apps, you can't expect the same kind of support. And it's already happening: The Funkwhale app doesn't seem to work (see https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1597/funkwhale-a-modern-convivial-and-free-music-server?page=3) and asking for support did not lead to anything (and I don't expect volunteers to react or even monitor such requests, don't get me wrong).
Just bear in mind, if you need support (e.g. for business critical apps), community packages are not the way to go, I think.
