In fact I spent quite some time to package che, however it has some architecture issues, which make it impossible currently to run it on Cloudron. The main reason is, that the worker containers (which could be created with the docker addon in our latest Cloudron release) need to be directly reachable from the browser. For this only two options are supported, single port mode (https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/docker-config.html#single-port-policy) and http only (no httpS). Since single port mode only works with some external dynamic wildcard dns service and http only is simply not acceptable, we cannot package it for Cloudron as it stands.

@nebulon Given that next version of Cloudron will support wildcard DNS, does it change anything?

The reverse proxy would still not be able to route the request to the individual worker container.
