Advice for testing a packaged app

[sfeldkamp]

I currently have a Cloudron server hosted on a Digital Ocean droplet. I'm working on packaging an app I'd like to install.

Is it a good idea to test the packaged app in a separate Cloudron? If yes, should that be another Cloudron server or could I install Cloudron in a Docker container on my desktop and then test the app installation and operation in that?

Because Cloudron runs apps in docker containers, it’s fine to go test your new app on your existing Cloudron instance, if you have enough disk space and memory.

Cloudron needs to run on real OS - you won’t be be able to install in a virtual or container environment (other than a VPS)

Perfect! Thanks for the quick answer.

The only "danger" of using a production Cloudron is that you use some CLI command by mistake. Like cloudron uninstall --app <some-domain-by-typo> . The CLI command is less forgiving when it comes to mistakes like that. i.e there is confirmation .
