Running Ubuntu 16.04 as an App on Cloudron

[andirahmat]

Hi Everyone. This may be strange to ask. I got this closed source app from my local government encrypted with ioncube. This include installation script that setup it's own lamp. Something like ./install.sh and it needs to be installed on Ubuntu 16.04 other than that the dependencies will not met and installation fail. Currently i run this app on vm on proxmox.

I wonder if it possible to run this on cloudron. I mean is there any ubuntu 16.04 served as cloudron app then run this install script on it?

@andirahmat Well, Ubuntu is not a web app and Cloudron is for Web Apps so there is no Cloudron VM App (though that'd be cool). But you could probably build a DOCKERFILE to package up your installation / build.

[andirahmat]

Are you suggesting to custom build app for cloudron with ubuntu 16.04 image from dockerhub?

@andirahmat In my opinion, it's gonna be extremely hard to get this to run on Cloudron, if it's at all possible.

This is possible by using sysbox as the docker runc.

All apps on Cloudron use Ubuntu 18. But you can build a custom app with the base image FROM cloudron/base:1.0.0@sha256:147a648a068a2e746644746bbfb42eb7a50d682437cead3c67c933c546357617. That one is ubuntu 16.

@girish can you please refer me to the related documentation on doing this? Should i have another cloudron installation for this? Now my cloudron running on ubuntu 18.04

Keep your installation at 18.04. Girlish is talking about the DOCKERFILE’s too FROM line. Cloudron’s base image 1.0 was based on Ubuntu 16 so you should have that entire OSes dependencies to build an app on Ubuntu 16 even though Cloudron itself only runs on 18.04.
