Hi @timconsidine, thank you for your efforts in making CCAI. However, is there any tutorial video on how to install it and update the application if we use CCAI? So, the newbie like me can understand the whole process.
@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
