@will Those commands do NOT get ran on the cloudron server.
The cloudron CLI is ONLY for use outside of the server (it's the management tool for cli users)
At home, install virtualbox on your computer and create an ubuntu VM. (If you already have a computer with linux, ignore this step, these steps can be installed in windows if you install nodejs and git first)
Then run:
git clone https://git.cloudron.io/fbartels/bitwardenrs-app cd bitwardenrs-app ## Install NodeJS from https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/ npm install -g cloudron cloudron build cloudron install -
@murgero Thanks! I'm running windows subsystem for linux so I'll give it a shot. Thanks again!
@will If you plan on building apps using a local docker install, that can only be done on linux (not the subsystem), otherwise using a build service (either the app one or cloudron's cloud build service) is good on any system with nodejs support

@murgero I'm not a developer, but I have stumbled my way through rough spots before. Just so I understand the workflow.
So lets say I want to deploy the Bitwarden app on my Cloudron instance in production (I don't but let's roll with it for a sec)
I would configure my dev environment (install Nodejs, cloudron-cli, and install Cloudron build service app on the Web Store)
I would clone the app I wanted to play with to my local dev machine, cd into that directory and use the cloudron build command to bush this app to the Cloudron Build Service App?
Lastly use the cloudron install command to install the app on to my production instance.
How close am I to the right answer?
Thanks again for taking the time out to help me out. I'm trying to understand this stuff, but it's way out of my swimlane.

@will I don't use the build service app because it can delete other apps mistakenly. I use the following process for building my apps (step by step, literally) using a local linux machine with Docker, npm, git, and cloudron-cli.
Just make sure you have a free dockerhub account
git clone https://github.com/mitchellurgero/cloudron-vscode cd cloudron-vscode ## Change as you need! docker build -t dockername/projectname:tagname . docker push dockername/projectname:tagname ## End docker changes cloudron login cloudron install --image dockerhuburl/dockername/projectname:tagnameExample commands when replacing the variables with real items:
git clone https://github.com/murgero/MyApp1-cloudron cd MyApp1-cloudron ## Change as you need! docker build -t murgero/MyApp1:latest . docker push murgero/MyApp1:latest ## End docker changes cloudron login cloudron install --image dockerhuburl/murgero/MyApp1:latest--

I have updated my repo to the last version and also picked some smtp things from @iamthefij. Sending invites still does not seem to work, will need to look further into this.
Edit: Managed to fix the issue with sending invites. the value of SMTP_AUTH_MECHANISM needs to be quoted, but when exporting it, these quotes are normally removed. Working and up to date version is in the git repo.

This requires the build service app to be installed on your cloudron which currently has a warning attached to it that it may delete USED docker images from other apps. Until the build service app is more stable, I'll stick to my sure-fire, tried and true way

@iamthefij its not a technical problem, the approach isn't bad either. I think both (LDAP and MySQL) simply add unneeded complexity.
@fbartels I see. Yea, totally agree that it’s not really necessary for most folks usage. The instance I run outside of Cloudron today uses neither of them. I’m using it as a simple personal password manager.
I believe Cloudron tends to prefer configurations that are ready for a small enterprise. My personal Gogs server was fine with SQLite and local auth as well, but Cloudron is configured with MySQL and LDAP.

That is not true. Its build locally and then pushed into the github account.

When I try to update my bitwarden app at the existing domain 'bit.mydomain.de' this way, I still get a
Failed to install app: 409 message: Domain 'bit.mydomain.de' is in useI have a wildcard DNS entry), so a DNS entry for the subdomain should not cause trouble. I also tried
cloudron login --allow-selfsignedbut it doesn't change anything.Could the "version" entry in
CloudronManifest.jsonbe the culprit? -

No, at least not from my experience. It always depends from where you installed an app previously. So for example when you initially installed an app from the official appcenter you can not easily update it with a locally build app. To make it recognize an existing app you can add the
--appparameter to the install command.So e.g.
cloudron update --app bitBut make sure that the applications are actually compatible with each other.

Can you also post the output of
cloudron build?Maybe it could also help to remove the existing app before (but since it fails at downloading I would doubt that).

I don't know enough about the internal workings of cloudron to give a definite answer, but from what I see I would guess your first install failed (because it could seemingly not fetch the right image) and now the app is in a failed state.
One way to get out of this is to try restore an earlier backup (but it also said
=> Backup - undefined) so its unclear if one exists, or remove the app and start anew. -
Thanks for the hint. In the control panel, I have the following error:
An error occurred during the operation: Docker Error: Unable to pull image. Please check the network or if the image needs authentication. statusCode: 404 -
Stupid me! My docker repository was set to private!
Once made public - at least for the time of updating - a simple click on "repair" in the Cloudron control panel was enough!
