@timconsidine Yes similar idea just DB addon

Then I would take a look at their docs instead (as we don't seem to have any): https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/installation/configuration May have to create your .yaml config file manually.

Okay, find below information about how the app runs. What I haven't tested: Setting up notification e-mails (should be simple using SMTP) Actually transferring the data (a test account could be set up) Handling the integrated update mechanism: so far, all updates would need to be done manually. The Core Concept Standard deployment (Bluesky PDS original): Docker Compose file with 3 separate containers: pds - The main application caddy - Reverse proxy and TLS termination watchtower - Automatic container updates Cloudron deployment: Only 1 container - The main application (pds) Cloudron provides everything else: Reverse proxy (TLS, HTTPS) Health monitoring Storage management Update mechanism Remove from the application: Caddy service - Cloudron's reverse proxy handles HTTPS/TLS Watchtower service - Cloudron's update system handles updates Docker Compose file - Cloudron doesn't use compose; it builds from Dockerfile Keep from the application: The main app (Node.js + PDS in this case) The Dockerfile (but modify it to use a startup script) All application code and logic Files You Need to Create Three new files are required: 1. startup.sh - Environment validation and initialization 2. CloudronManifest.json - Cloudron deployment configuration 3. Modifications to Dockerfile - Add startup script and health check #!/bin/bash set -e # Startup script for Bluesky PDS on Cloudron # This script validates required environment variables and initializes the application # Required environment variables REQUIRED_VARS=( "PDS_HOSTNAME" "PDS_JWT_SECRET" "PDS_ADMIN_PASSWORD" "PDS_PLC_ROTATION_KEY_K256_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX" ) # Check required variables echo "Validating environment variables..." for var in "${REQUIRED_VARS[@]}"; do if [[ -z "${!var:-}" ]]; then echo "ERROR: Required environment variable $var is not set" exit 1 fi done # Set default data directory if not specified PDS_DATA_DIRECTORY="${PDS_DATA_DIRECTORY:-/app/data}" PDS_BLOBSTORE_DISK_LOCATION="${PDS_BLOBSTORE_DISK_LOCATION:-$PDS_DATA_DIRECTORY/blocks}" PDS_BLOB_UPLOAD_LIMIT="${PDS_BLOB_UPLOAD_LIMIT:-104857600}" # Set default service URLs (point to public AT Protocol network) PDS_DID_PLC_URL="${PDS_DID_PLC_URL:-https://plc.directory}" PDS_BSKY_APP_VIEW_URL="${PDS_BSKY_APP_VIEW_URL:-https://api.bsky.app}" PDS_BSKY_APP_VIEW_DID="${PDS_BSKY_APP_VIEW_DID:-did:web:api.bsky.app}" PDS_REPORT_SERVICE_URL="${PDS_REPORT_SERVICE_URL:-https://mod.bsky.app}" PDS_REPORT_SERVICE_DID="${PDS_REPORT_SERVICE_DID:-did:plc:ar7c4by46qjdydhdevvrndac}" PDS_CRAWLERS="${PDS_CRAWLERS:-https://bsky.network}" # Set defaults for optional variables LOG_ENABLED="${LOG_ENABLED:-true}" PDS_PORT="${PDS_PORT:-3000}" NODE_ENV="${NODE_ENV:-production}" # Create required directories echo "Initializing data directories..." mkdir -p "$PDS_DATA_DIRECTORY" mkdir -p "$PDS_BLOBSTORE_DISK_LOCATION" # Export all PDS variables for the application export PDS_HOSTNAME export PDS_JWT_SECRET export PDS_ADMIN_PASSWORD export PDS_PLC_ROTATION_KEY_K256_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX export PDS_DATA_DIRECTORY export PDS_BLOBSTORE_DISK_LOCATION export PDS_BLOB_UPLOAD_LIMIT export PDS_DID_PLC_URL export PDS_BSKY_APP_VIEW_URL export PDS_BSKY_APP_VIEW_DID export PDS_REPORT_SERVICE_URL export PDS_REPORT_SERVICE_DID export PDS_CRAWLERS export LOG_ENABLED export PDS_PORT export NODE_ENV # Optional environment variables (only export if set) if [[ -n "${PDS_EMAIL_SMTP_URL:-}" ]]; then export PDS_EMAIL_SMTP_URL fi if [[ -n "${PDS_EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS:-}" ]]; then export PDS_EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS fi if [[ -n "${PDS_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL:-}" ]]; then export PDS_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL fi if [[ -n "${LOG_DESTINATION:-}" ]]; then export LOG_DESTINATION fi if [[ -n "${LOG_LEVEL:-}" ]]; then export LOG_LEVEL fi echo "Starting Bluesky PDS on Cloudron" echo " Hostname: $PDS_HOSTNAME" echo " Data directory: $PDS_DATA_DIRECTORY" echo " Blob storage: $PDS_BLOBSTORE_DISK_LOCATION" echo " Port: $PDS_PORT" # Start the application exec node --enable-source-maps index.js FROM node:20.19-alpine3.22 as build RUN corepack enable # Build goat binary ENV CGO_ENABLED=0 ENV GODEBUG="netdns=go" WORKDIR /tmp RUN apk add --no-cache git go RUN git clone https://github.com/bluesky-social/goat.git && cd goat && git checkout v0.1.2 && go build -o /tmp/goat-build . # Move files into the image and install WORKDIR /app COPY ./service ./ RUN corepack prepare --activate RUN pnpm install --production --frozen-lockfile > /dev/null # Uses assets from build stage to reduce build size FROM node:20.19-alpine3.22 RUN apk add --update dumb-init bash # Avoid zombie processes, handle signal forwarding ENTRYPOINT ["dumb-init", "--"] WORKDIR /app COPY --from=build /app /app COPY --from=build /tmp/goat-build /usr/local/bin/goat COPY startup.sh /app/startup.sh RUN chmod +x /app/startup.sh EXPOSE 3000 ENV PDS_PORT=3000 ENV NODE_ENV=production # potential perf issues w/ io_uring on this version of node ENV UV_USE_IO_URING=0 # Health check to verify PDS is running and responsive HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --start-period=40s --retries=3 \ CMD node -e "require('http').get('http://localhost:3000/xrpc/_health', (r) => {if (r.statusCode !== 200) throw new Error(r.statusCode)})" || exit 1 CMD ["/app/startup.sh"] LABEL org.opencontainers.image.source=https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds LABEL org.opencontainers.image.description="AT Protocol PDS" LABEL org.opencontainers.image.licenses=MIT { "id": "io.cloudron.bluesky-pds", "version": "1.0.0", "manifestVersion": 2, "title": "Bluesky PDS", "description": "A Personal Data Server for AT Protocol and Bluesky", "tagline": "Self-hosted Bluesky server", "author": "Bluesky Social", "website": "https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds", "documentationUrl": "https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds", "tags": ["chat", "sync"], "httpPort": 3000, "healthCheckPath": "/xrpc/_health", "addons": { "localstorage": { "volumePath": "/app/data" }, "sendmail": {} } } Make sure to change all hardcoded references for the data directory /pds to /app/data! Then make sure to set all the required env variables. The admin password is for the server app, not your bluesky account. As I said, this gets the app to run and report positively to the healthcheck, now does someone want to test this? P.S.: I have now created and deleted a user via curl, and verified that it persists a server restart.

It's really a matter of taste. I have also SOGo installed, mainly because it enables active-sync.

Hi @james, here is a redacted screenshot that should match my description at the beginning of this thread: [image: 1766853996763-742d9edb-e7fc-4770-91d5-bd880cab3fe7-image-resized.png]

I can confirm that this issue was fixed with the changes made in the Cloudron app as well as upstream by the Traccar developers several months ago.

Add plugin info The plugin info is {"name":"ep_author_neat2","version":"2.0.11"} and has to be added to app/data/data/installed_plugins.json I think that the above step is the only one needed to install plugins. Simply add the wanted plugins into /data/data/installed_plugins.json and a restart will install them. Tested with the demo server: I installed Etherpad and modified the following files: /data/data/installed_plugins.json {"plugins":[ {"name":"ep_button_link","version":"1.0.11"}, {"name":"ep_delete_empty_pads","version":"0.0.11"}, {"name":"ep_author_hover","version":"1.0.12"}, {"name":"ep_spellcheck","version":"0.0.65"}, {"name":"ep_disable_reset_authorship_colours","version":"0.0.27"}, {"name":"ep_image_upload","version":"1.0.105"}, {"name":"ep_disable_delete_button","version":"0.0.1"}, {"name":"ep_prompt_for_name","version":"1.0.25"}, {"name":"ep_table_of_contents","version":"0.3.89"}, {"name":"ep_prefer_color_scheme","version":"0.0.10"}, {"name":"ep_countable","version":"0.0.15"}, {"name":"ep_default_colors_off","version":"0.0.1"}, {"name":"ep_align","version":"10.0.2"}, {"name":"ep_comments_page","version":"10.0.4"}, {"name":"ep_embedded_hyperlinks2","version":"1.2.4"}, {"name":"ep_font_color","version":"0.0.89"}, {"name":"ep_headings2","version":"0.2.68"}, {"name":"ep_markdown","version":"10.0.1"}, {"name":"ep_openid_connect","version":"3.0.13"}, {"name":"ep_user_displayname","version":"1.0.7"}, {"name":"ep_stable_authorid","version":"1.0.5"}, {"name":"ep_guest","version":"1.0.37"}, {"name":"ep_etherpad-lite","version":"2.5.3"} ] } data/settings.json { "requireAuthentication": false, "ep_spellcheck": { "disabledByDefault" : false }, "ep_toc": { "disable_by_default": false, "show_button": true }, "ep_button_link": { "link": "https://www.cloudron.io/", "text": "Cloudron", "after": "[data-key='home']" }, "ep_author_hover": { "disabledByDefault": false } } Logs Dec 27 10:17:58 [2025-12-27T09:17:58.576] [INFO] server - Starting Etherpad...

What happened to this app?

Hello @potemkin_ai You could also check the Cloudron event log to see if and when the password was changed. Have you checked that?

This is impressive. I think an MCP server should be part of the core Cloudron software some time soon! I am not familiar with the Cloudron API, can I use this to get the logs of an individual app, or only its status?

This should actually be doable: All of the main app is in one container The database container can be replaced with the postgres addon Migrations need to be handled in the Dockerfile manually

Any ideas?
