@atrilahiji Never stop never stopping! You're doing great!

[fbartels]

@atrilahiji can you push your current wip? I'd like to give the code a look.

@fbartels Sure thing: https://git.atridad.dev/alt-ron/cloudron-humhub-app/-/tree/harden-app-code

Thanks! I'm convinced this is 1) impossible or 2) something so simple yet I have not noticed it somehow

[fbartels]

@atrilahiji for me this works with

➜  cloudron-humhub-app git:(harden-app-code) git rev-parse --short HEAD
0b5df1c

Steps I tried:

• Install app (in debug mode, but only so that i could override and start the start.sh manually)
• finished Humhub installation
• went into admin and selected modules
• installed a module
• activated a module
• no php error can be seen

@fbartels Huh so you manually started start.sh from the terminal in recovery mode? I get the exact same error doing that. Did you do something else to modify the permissions?

[fbartels]

@atrilahiji no, no changes at all. maybe some leftovers from a previous installation of yours?

Yes, you can run cloudron install --debug where then the init script is not run. you then need to exec into the app and run it manually.

[A Former User]

@fbartels ahhh I see what you mean. I'll try that.

[A Former User]

@fbartels Oh weird yeah that works... no clue why it wouldn't work if the start.sh is run normally during an install...

IDK if you saw the same error but if I don't start in debug mode and switch to Recovery Mode, running start.sh results in a permission error for PHP again.

EDIT: Nvm I think I figured it out...

[fbartels]

@atrilahiji ah nevermind, i forgot that part of debug is that the container is not read-only. Looking at the code now a bit closer.

[fbartels]

@atrilahiji the modules directory does not exist at all in /app/code and then it fails at creating it in the first place. You have to prepare this in a similar way to https://git.atridad.dev/alt-ron/cloudron-humhub-app/-/blob/harden-app-code/Dockerfile#L78-80 where the folder symlink needs to already be created during docker build and then in start.sh you need to make sure that the folder and its default contents exist.

@fbartels I think I got it working finally. I'll test it one more time and then push the code up.

[A Former User]

This should work now: https://git.atridad.dev/alt-ron/cloudron-humhub-app/-/releases/0.8.0

Now to tackle updates. With everything we need in /app/data now it should be a piece of cake. Thanks for the help @fbartels !

[fbartels]

@atrilahiji yes, now it also starts in normal (non debug) mode. A nice addition would be auto configuration of ldap.

[A Former User]

@fbartels I thought I had that set up, but I might have broken it. I'll look into it.

[A Former User]

@fbartels AH so it does, but on restart. The reason being is it does not let me configure LDAP until the app is installed in the ui on first boot.

Testing both new installs and updates right now for a 1.0.0 release.

[A Former User]

Had a few dumb bugs, and here we are at 1.0.3. But hey it works. Now I know never to work on windows. The line endings being wrong fucked the package.

[Sam_uk]

@atridad I'm getting a cert error on your repo.

[girish]

@sam_uk I think https://git.atridad.dev/CTPR/cloudron-humhub-app is the new location

[A Former User]

@sam_uk Whoops yeah, I had not mentioned in an email that I moved things to a new org on my gitlab. Mostly because I didn't like how Altron just sounded like the marvel villain
