Possible to make this Discourse Events plugin work on Cloudron?

[jdaviescoates]

I want to use this Discourse plugin:
https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-events

I just tried following the instructions as per the Cloudron Discourse docs

But I got an error:

You are specifying the gem uuidtools in /app/code/plugins/discourse-events/plugin.rb, however it does not exist!
Looked for: 
- /app/code/plugins/discourse-events/gems/3.2.2/specifications/uuidtools-2.2.0.gemspec
- /app/code/plugins/discourse-events/gems/3.2.2/specifications/uuidtools-2.2.0-x86_64-linux.gemspec
- /app/code/plugins/discourse-events/gems/3.2.2/specifications/uuidtools-2.2.0-x86_64-linux.gemspec

I'd really love to use this plugin - might there be a way to make it work on Cloudron?

Ah , good catch . Looks like this .local has to be symlinked . Missed this in our base image, grr.

That sounds positive in that once you symlink .local I guess this plugin should probably work too, right?

[girish]

@jdaviescoates yes, atleast I can install it after symlinking local. I have fixed the base image already. Tests are running now for the new package.

[jdaviescoates]

@girish great, thanks, I'll give it a try again once the update is available

[girish]

@jdaviescoates updated. there is a slight change in instruction in the docs (chown -R)

Thanks for the heads up.

I think:

chown -R cloudron:cloudron <plugin-repo>

Could be clearer somehow.

I initially tried:

chown -R cloudron:cloudron https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-events

But I think what I was supposed to do was:

chown -R cloudron:cloudron discourse-events/

Then, when I got to:

gosu cloudron:cloudron bundle exec install_all_gems

I just got this error:

root@:/app/code# gosu cloudron:cloudron bundle exec install_all_gems
bundler: command not found: install_all_gems
Install missing gem executables with `bundle install`

@jdaviescoates you need to be in /app/data remember!?

The previous step in the docs:

cd /app/code

[robi]

That doesn't sound right unless /app/code/plugins is symlinked to /app/data/somewhere

/app/code is readonly

gosu cloudron:cloudron bundle exec install_all_gems

I think this one is gosu cloudron:cloudron bundle exec rake plugin:install_all_gems !

That seemed to do the job, I think, maybe.

The plugin seems to have installed:

But when I try to click on Events as shown above (and which links to https://bridport.events/admin/events ) I get this:

️ Error loading route
Caused by plugin 'discourse-events-e0079339aeef4bbe41336a3766e010483478c7374fcb7d7e0574c835848c6e01'
(this message is only shown to site administrators)

I also note that when running e.g. gosu cloudron:cloudron bundle exec rake posts:rebake I get:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I got that a few times during the install process too.
