    Hey,

    I would like to test a own app, but my console said
    No CloudronManifest.json found

    My image is on hub.docker.com and works on local docker installation.

    In my image also in my BitBucket repo exists CloudronManifest.json. I have copied an existing file and modify for my app.

    On hub.docker.com my repo built automatically at every commit on BitBucket

    @roru2k20 To install a custom app, CloudronManifest needs to be in the same dir where you run the install command.

    So as an example, if you git clone a custom app to your HDD:

    git clone https://github.com/username/cloudron-app
    cd cloudron-app
    cloudron install --image=dockerhubid/packagename

      Okay I understand!
      It was not clear to me that I also had to be locally in the same directory.

      Now I have tested on my VS Code with installed Docker Desktop, npm with chocolatey, git and so on and it doesn't work for me. I think the problem is, that my user has no admin rights, therefore I can't install correctly any npm tools and therefore no cloudron cli work.

      With cloudron login my.... I get

      PS H:\Projekte\Docker\cloudron-mariadb> cloudron login my....
      internal/fs/utils.js:230
          throw err;
          ^

        We haven't really tested it on windows yet. I will do so in the next couple of days, to see if we need some special fixes there.

            Hey,
            I did everything differently than I had planned 😊

            I have installed my first app on my instance, but i can't connect to mariadb-server.
            Yes my plan was to install a standalone mariadb-server to use it as cloud database without any connection to the internal database.

            Now I would like to test my server and I can't connect. The server runs good, the special credentials that I have created dynamically while installation works, but when I try to connect from my Client Valentina Studio on Zorin OS to the server nothing happens.

            What I'm doing wrong?

            https://bitbucket.org/roru2k20/cloudron-mariadb/src/master/

            Can anybody help me? All knowledge I have acquired autodidactically

            Thanks and have a nice evening.

              @roru2k20 To use cloudrons built-in mysql server (MariaDB is mysql!) you need to add the mysql addon to the manifest. Then you will get auto-generated credentials via environment variables.

              https://cloudron.io/documentation/custom-apps/addons/#mysql

              Screenshot of how the manifest would look with it:

              Please note the syntax - it's a JSON file and will need to be formatted properly!

                @murgero many thanks but my plan is not to connect to the internal server. My plan is only to create a standalone server.

                Now I have installed successfully, but I can't connect to them.

                When I test the container with a portscanner only 80, 443, 22 and 222 are open. My plan is 6033.

                Screenshot_20200725-111439.png

                Is this a good plan?

                When all is fine next step is to combine with phpMyAdmin in one installation.

                  Now I have change all Ports to 6033 and I can't connect to the MariaDB-Server

                  Here you can see my netstat -tulpen export
                  Bildschirmfoto vom 2020-07-25 13-32-09.png

                  But further my portscanner said no open Port 6033.

                  What I'm doing wrong???

                    In your case you have to specify the ports in the CloudronManifest. See https://cloudron.io/documentation/custom-apps/manifest/#tcpports for that

                    Generally, what is your reason to require a standalone mysql server as an app on your Cloudron?

                      I would like to test if I can create an App for Cloudron.

                      But may be as App for centralized database server for development. It is only an idea from me.

                      When it successfull done I would like to test more, may be more complicated app.

                        Oh my godness...I'm so blind

                        In Germany we often say: We can't see the forest for the trees. 😉

                        It works great!! It was misconfiguration of my client. My client Valentina Studio thought the connection was a MSSQL-Server and not a MariaDB/MySQL. After I recreate my connection it works with the right port and use my special credentials.

                        Thanks a lot for your help
