    I got permission from @Sam_uk to make the repo public:
    https://git.atrilahiji.dev/Alt-Ron/cloudron-humhub-app

    Todo:

    1. Properly address the update process
    2. See if its possible to config LDAP and SMTP automatically (this is the part I am really struggling with right now.

    Did you already have a look at https://github.com/humhub/docker/blob/master/docker-entrypoint.sh ?

      @fbartels Wowee nope. Good catch lol

      EDIT: You know, I have no clue why it never occurred to me that I can look for a docker version of the app.

        I have finished getting things automated (sort of). The DB is set up on the first install, and the LDAP and SMTP configuration is set up after a re-start (and is updated after every restart).

          Encountering a snag:

          The ONLYOFFICE integration seems to fail to send the JWT token to an ONLYOFFICE instance. My best guess rn is its an issue with apache -> nginx -> ONLYOFFICE. Is anyone else more familiar with this sort of reverse proxy issue?

          Edit: Fixed it. Testing and pushing a new release.

          Edit 2: I am tempted to leave updating to the app, similar to Wordpress Developer Edition. I auto install the Updater module. If @staff want to take a look at this let me know. Repo is here: https://git.atridad.dev/CTPR/cloudron-humhub-app. It was a sponsored app. If you need an instance to take a look at it let me know via a direct message and I can let you in @staff.

            @atrilahiji ah, great stuff! Ideally, the app shouldn't update itself and the code should be readonly. Is that possible? It's best to keep updates consistent i.e from Cloudron dashboard.

              @girish I can definitely try. Much like Moodle, it has a lot of plugins or "modules" people use. I think in this instance they are all in a single directory though. I'll take a look.

                  @girish Sure, thanks! I'll shuffle some things around in the package and see what I can do. My hope is I can just symlink everything that is needed in a migration to /app/data, which will also make updates a lot easier.

                    @girish Actually, I just thought of something. If the modules folder is symlinked and the app is expecting to write to the modules folder in /app/code, it will error right? I imagine it wouldn't just look at the actual folder in /app/data. The trouble here is there is a "module store" of sorts built right into the app.

                      @atrilahiji maybe you can symlink /app/code/modules to /app/data/modules and that way it will become writable.

                      To give a high level idea, let's say humhub app comes with some default modules. Then, in Dockerfile, you would move them to some other location like:

                      RUN mv /app/code/modules /app/code/modules_orig && ln -s /app/data/modules /app/code/modules

                      Then in start.sh:

                      mkdir -p /app/code/modules
                      cp -r /app/code/modules_orig/* /app/data/modules
                      

                      In many apps, instead of the blind copy above, we try to symlink each "module". So, there will be a symlink from /app/data/modules/x to /app/code/modules_orig/x . This sometimes works or not depending on the app. But hopefully you get the idea!

                          @girish Running into issues here: https://docs.humhub.org/docs/admin/installation/#file-permissions

                          There appears to be no way to configure where Hubhub looks for those files, so it will just keep trying to write to the symlink in /app/code and fail. In fact, you cant even get the site to load after installation without having the assets directory writable. This is something it has to do on startup. I can still make an update script for this, but I think it will have to sit in /app/data just based on how this was written. Unless I'm missing something?

                            no, that should not be the case (at least when the symlinked dir has proper permissions for this).

                                        @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

                                        @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?
