Example app that is using the docker addon

[gotjoshua]

Hi,
my friend and i want to make a cloudron custom app and we are considering if using the docker addon is a good idea.
Any repos that we can look at as examples?
Any advise about separation of concerns for an app that needs non standard "addons"?

cheers!

Can you tell us more about the app? Are you think of running some special database via docker or something ? (if so, the docker addon is not really meant for that)

The docker addon provides access to docker to launch containers/workspaces. The jupyterhub app package uses it - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/jupyterhub-app .

We want to run ipfs with a gateway that is protected by a ucan proxy.

We are considering using arion

And as Árion needs docker compose available, I assume the docker addon would need to be active.

Cloudron cannot run compose files. You have to create a custom package. I think you will get a better picture if you follow the tutorial at https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/ . But app packages are specialized docker files.

i get that, but it seems that arion can internalize the compose magic into its container. Still not sure if it can work, but curious to check out our options.

Point is, it would be great to architect a setup where it can run conveniently on cloudron, akash, railway, VPS with docker compose, etc...

Seems fine here.

Er, sorry my bad. I was logged in. There was a mistake in the repo permissions, I have fixed it now. Please try again.
