I added a checklist item to the CloudronManifest.json that makes it as clear as possible for the user to add the wildcard alias. I just couldn't find any way to do this automatically.

I've also moved my primary PDS on the ATProto network to be hosted on my Cloudron custom app. So far so good, no problems I've noticed!

@sfeldkamp does the app have any UI?

/ - An informational landing page. You can see it here: https://at.sethfeldkamp.com/
/oauth - OAuth routes

Then data is available from
/xrpc - Http API
/.well-known/atproto-did - DID verification

That's all I can find for routes in the source code.

@sfeldkamp yeah, that works for the Cloudron package.

Hey everyone!

I've published this as a community app. Currently only a "testing" version (how does that work anyway?), so please don't add it to the Community Apps topic just yet. Would love to get some feedback on it and see if any issues are discovered.

@sfeldkamp well done !

Is "testing" a valid entry in CloudronVersions.json publishState ? It's creative but I was under impression that it is 'published' or 'revoked', binary choice. But I might be wrong. It's all rather new !

I'd put it as 'published' and just not list it in the community apps category for now.

It seems like they're all in alpha testing until they make it into the app store for beta testing.

I got this in the output for the cloudron versions add --help command. But I couldn't say if it has any effect or if it's just informational. It doesn't stop anyone from installing the app. Not sure about whether it would trigger updates.

@sfeldkamp @timconsidine 'testing' state marks the release (just that version and not the app itself) as 'unstable' (just like cloudron's own app store packages). UI wise: when you install such a version, it will give a warning. Behavior wise: cloudron won't automatically update the app to that version .

It's really an advanced use case. We copied our app store behavior 1:1 for the community apps.

Thank you for explaining! It doesn't appear to be working that way for installs. I don't see any visual indicator for the Community App when installing it, nor on the app after it's installed. Here is the link to the versions file.

Let me know if I should cross post this to support as a bug report (or elsewhere). I haven't tested whether "testing" prevents an automatic update from being discovered.
