Agate+ (dual protocol server to serve gemini/http from one source)

[timconsidine]

Once you do get it installed, Agate+ has a useful content editor under /admin

@timconsidine That is a helpful feature and illustrative of the consideration and understanding that went into creating the application.

Hmm <scratching head>
I've been trying to diagnose @robi report that app installs but gets stuck in "Starting..."

I wondered if there was a hidden issue that I was installing from CCAI on my primary cloudron to a location/url also on my primary cloudron.
So I installed a clean fresh separate Cloudron instance as the target.

I then used ccai.appx.uk to install 2 custom apps from the catalogue (new feature!), Raneto and Agate+.
Both sailed through the installation, and started fine.

So <scratching head> I don't know.

If you or anyone has the time/inclination to try again and get the same stuck in Starting..., I would suggest :

• checking the logs of the app from its dashboard
• do stop/start in dashboard or Repair/Restart

FYI :
CCAI now on v4.0.9 and pushed to git.cloudron.io.
ccai.appx.uk is running that version as a public hosted service.
Agate+ still on v6.37

Hey, Tim, I like the new update and now I can see we can use it to one click install FacilMaps - nice!
Very, very nice, actually! We wanted to serve our own maps like this for ages. Now we can!

Also, very cool, we can even use ccai to install ccai - on our own server!

CCAI deserves a thread/discussion all of its own, I think.

@LoudLemur thank you
I wanted to get CCAI to a point where it would be worth making an App Wishlist for it.
Just a few more tweaks to do.

And need to find more custom apps to flesh out the catalogue with known/tested cases.

@timconsidine said in Agate+ (dual protocol server to serve gemini/http from one source):

Same here, tried to use my.demo.cloudron.io but it fails to log in at all:
Failed to check login status: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON

I'll see if I can find another Cloudron to test with in case something is off with mine.

UPDATE:
Seems to be a combo with an specific browser version and my Cloudron is having issues with all apps that install/upgrade.. waiting for healthcheck.
Sorry for the wild goose chase. CCAI install on Demo server worked just fine after using another browser.

@robi weird - good investigative work !

@timconsidine Thanks, less than obvious with two things going wrong at the same time.

Have you thought about how to rapidly grow the installable App list?

[timconsidine]

@robi well, I started to think about it.

I was thinking about making a search of git.cloudron.io

Then I thought maybe some/many would be old and packager should be consulted.

And we need a pre-built docker image, so next question is who should build that, I could but not sure about time available, depends on how many.
and maybe packager should do it.

Bottom-line, I ended up in a spiral of indecision !!

Any ideas gratefully received.

@timconsidine How about this..

A checkbox for others to choose to submit a custom app, then check if the install is successful, if so then check if it's already in your CCAI DB/list/json, if not then add it as a new addition with an installed count, plus notification if you want.

It would also be nice to keep the CCAI login active for 15m or so, allowing multiple apps to be installed without constantly logging in.

@robi thank you
Will get on to that, working on packaging Sync-in at the moment
