SOLVED Terminal Questions re LAMP App

[Shai]

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

@Shai Welcome on board

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.

@girish Thanks so much for the great answers.

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