That's why I moved you.luckow.org to my Cloudron instance. Thank you @staff

FANTASTIC!

Well done, @girish! Hurrah, @JOduMonT ! Well done, Cloudron! This is a much wanted feature.

It installs very well. You can export/import your preferences from other instances OK.

Great! I hope everybody with Cloudron tries running Invidious.

I didn't realize it was a particularly complex one. Perhaps if you mention that on the invidious app request thread, one of the others might become curious.

I don't know why they opted for such tech. It might be that Google/Youtube do what they can to prevent apps like Invidious from becoming possible or easily workable and people need to go through contortions as a workaround.

I can begin to see why Invidious has been requested for so long but not packaged yet.

I hope you have more satisfaction with the next application.

I don't have experience with that. Beside of the app is using a postgresql database. A package should be doable, but currently it is too complex for myself.

More apps are getting packaged, just a lot of them to get through, and you never know how easy they will be until you hit an issue.

Iโ€™m not sure what is involved in app maintenance but if Iโ€™m not mistaken, Cloudron staff take over that responsibility if they choose to add the app to the appstore.

Also, after the initial packaging, how much work is there when future releases arrive?

I would like to bump this post and hope that we can support Invidious on Cloudron.

Anybody else interested in making this happen?

The maintainer ceased developing it

I'd like this too, but that's a bit of a red flag.

Generally Cloudron only likes to include actively maintained apps, for good reason really.

It might be that the original creator stopped developing it, but a quick look at the repository shows active development. So it seems that it is actively maintained.
