CCAI : Cloudron Custom App Installer
-
@IniBudi I didn’t make a video as the process is simple, and Cloudron 9.1 will take over soon.
As @humptydumpty (thank you for stepping in) said, the process is guided.
Some important points :
- CCAI original version is dead : site now directs you to CustomAppGateway which is the new start point
- CustomAppGateway gives you choice of installing individual apps from there, or installing CCAI-P which is maybe more useful if installing multiple custom apps
- for individual installations, CustomAppGateway shows a catalogue, pick an item, popup shows a description and a curl one line installation command. Copy that and paste into your desktop/laptop terminal. It will :
- prompt for your Cloudron, e.g. my.domain.tld
- prompt for a token (create this in your Cloudron dashboard | Profile | Tokens
- prompt for app location, eg myapp.mydomain.tld
- invoke the installation : note that it will likely complete quickly but your Cloudron needs another couple minutes to install the app
- for multiple custom apps, use CustomAppGateway to install CCAI-P : same process as above.
- you will then have an app in your Cloudron which can install further apps (displays the same catalog as CustomAppGateway but no more curl download links)
- store your creds in /app/data
- pick an app and watch installation proceed
- wait for completion notice.
Note : your auth creds are now always input in your control (your desktop or your own Cloudron environment), never in a 3rd party site.
Let me know if any other questions
@timconsidine it's gone too soon, was needing to use CCAI today.. can you extend it for another month?

@robi sorry for confusion
"CCAI" as a whole is not gone
Just the original browser-centric version requiring users to put auth creds in my site (yuk!)CustomAppGateway lives on, to install CCAI-P and individual apps.
https://customgateway.appx.ukThis will live for a while, definitely for a month after 9.1 is released, maybe as long as 3-6 months after 9.1.

@timconsidine I quite enjoyed your 'yuk' site.

Congratz @timconsidine CCAI-P is an excellent software. I'm looking forward to Cloudron 9.1 and you expanding the Apps list.
I tested installing Moltbot (OpenClaw) and there are errors.

I should have clarified moltbot is unfinished
And may never be finished as I am packaging openclawApologies if this caused you wasted time

@timconsidine Thank you for your fast response. No worries.
Your documentation is very useful:
https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/cloudron-moltbot/-/blob/main/POSTINSTALL.md?ref_type=heads
so perhaps it will help me make OpenClaw work on DokPloy.I'll test additionally if I can self-host an LLM via Ollama on a Cloudron VPS and connect it to OpenClaw

Hello @timconsidine
I have just marked this topic as solved with your last post as the solution.
If you'd like, I could also close the topic so no more posts can be created.@james thank you.
yes, probably best to close it too

@james thank you.
yes, probably best to close it toomight be an idea to also add something like:
"superseded by community apps"
with a direct link, prominently at the top of the OP?
Thanks for your efforts with CCAI @timconsidine
