Cloudron Forum

It's fine to keep the post around, helps others in the future @igaudette said in Custom app database wiped after migration: Looks like the backup is not backing up the database of the custom apps, is it possible? FWIW, the backup strategy is the same for custom apps and apps from app store. The only difference is that one uses a customer docker image/registry and the ones from the appstore use a appstore provided docker image/docker hub.

Yes, that works, thank you!

@ekevu123 don't see why not. Running selfhosted custom apps is part of Cloudron. We run many custom apps which expose an API (but mostly nodejs). https://ipv4.api.cloudron.io/api/v1/helper/public_ip and https://ipv6.api.cloudron.io/api/v1/helper/public_ip for example gives your public IP.

@d19dotca thanks man, I’ll look in to your links and also take a look at the app-dev flag of people and see what I figure out! Thanks!

If you have a Dockerfile, you can package custom apps for deploying on Cloudron. No need to add/change nginx entries etc. Please see https://docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/tutorial/

@infogulch RTFM myself nice catch, thanks for that.
