@ekevu123 yes, the registry holds the images and enabling backups for it will keep the images. I think one issue might be though that because the order of apps is not defined/random , custom apps might fail to restore if the registry app restore after them. For this, the feature request you mentioned in another post will help. For the moment, workaround is just to click restore on custom apps again after the registry has restored.

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.
