What's coming in 9.1
-
We will be working on the following for 9.1:
- Custom app build and deploy - You can git-clone any package repository and run cloudron install directly. This builds the app locally on the Cloudron instance and installs it. This simplifies building and maintaining custom packages. The workflow is primarily CLI-driven and targets developers building custom apps as well as users who want to apply patches on top of existing packages.
- Community packages - can be installed from a URL via the dashboard. Cloudron will track the upstream URL and automatically check for and apply updates. Will allow people to publish outside Cloudron App store and users can easily install these packages and keep them automatically updated. For discovery, we will maintain a list either on the forum or in the documentation (TBD).
- Separate notifications view
- Mongodb 8, Redis 8.4, Nodejs 24.x
- Acme ARI support
- Backup Integrity verification UI
- Improved progress reporting - show percentage complete and elapsed/estimated time for backups and app installations.
- Convert backup site creation dialog to a view
- Better eventlog UI

Wanted to point out that 'Community packages' can be non-free (as in real money) as well. Many service providers have requested this, but automation of the purchase/discovery and related workflow is outside the scope of Cloudron. The package publisher can keep docker images private, and the end user just needs to set up a private docker registry to use the package (I guess the packager can create a docker registry API token per paying user or something like that).

I'm curious how the implementation for the community packages will look like. Are you saying you will monitor a manifest file and inside of the manifest would be a container tag, and when the manifest or the tag changes the app will be updated with this?
The custom app build and deploy functionality sounds quite neat. Since you mention it will be cli driven I suppose it is the responsiblity for the person running the cli to make sure that the right branch/tag is checked out?

@girish hey does this include databases containers like Postgress, MySQl, Mongodb, sql server etc? or databases still works as an addon? We need standalone database containers.

Hello @DualOSWinWiz
Yes you can also run custom apps that are just databases.@james said in What's coming in 9.1:
Hello @DualOSWinWiz
Yes you can also run custom apps that are just databases.So this meant their will be a port mapping facility as well great i dont know if its already their. I am anxious to see how backups and restore will handle the active connection to database.

Is there an approximate timeline for 9.1?The Custom app build & deploy + Community packages are something that the majority of us have been looking forward to for a long time
