<![CDATA[Terminal Questions re LAMP App]]>I'm just starting out with Cloudron.

  • Is it possible to use Git inside the Web Terminal?
  • Is it a problem to access a shell by ssh'ing into root and running:
docker container exec -it <container id> /bin/bash

Thx

git should be available in web terminal. Try to clone using https though instead of ssh. I am guessing ssh clone will fail because there are no ssh keys (and the containers currently have no provision to add/persist them).

As for, docker container exec, it's fine but on Cloudron it's better to use the CLI tool. Please see https://docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/cli/. Important: this is on your PC/Mac and not on the server.

  • sudo npm install -g cloudron
  • cloudron login my.example.com
  • cloudron list and cloudron exec --app app.example.com.

I look forward to installing the cloudron cli on my computer running Linux Mint 🤠 .
