      @jimcavoli excellent! Hopefully before long we'll be able to have large gatherings again! (not holding my breath though - here in the we UK can't even sort a decent test and trace system despite having blown £12 billion on one!)

      I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

        Happy to announce that this is running on my testbed server presently, and fairly responsively after a slight memory bump (256M just isn't enough to keep all the workers alive, even for one user). Going to try toggling on some of the other optional bits, but then this should be near ready for the unstable channel. User management is all in-app for better or worse, but that's an upstream limitation (only supports SAML optionally to act as an external IdP).

          @jimcavoli Very cool. Where is the repo? Also, does the app work well?

            @girish Works really well; repo forthcoming. I'm still working locally. The main trick just seems to be setting a reasonable floor for the memory limit; I think it's going to be 768M or so as a minimum to ensure the workers all stay up and responsive for a reasonable handful of connections. It makes heavy use of web sockets so it's a hair resource intensive, but given the nature of it, it shouldn't be a big deal for folks to deploy, test, scale up temporarily for an event, and scale back or remove after it's done. The app is rather specifically designed that each installation is one event, something they may change in the future, but for now, really makes running it on Cloudron so much more sensible than any other methodology. (their documentation on how to run it is garbage, basically though; really pushing the hosted version with the dearth of docs)

            I'll just finish a little more testing, especially around file uploads and media handling, tonight, and that repo will be linked here following.

              Repo with initial packaging: https://git.cloudron.io/jimcavoli/openslides-app

              I'd regard this as pretty ready to go at this point - all packaging choices were in line with the production configurations recommended by the project. I've tested pretty much everything except SAML manually. User management is independent for the time being as described previously. Also notable is that after some testing, I found 524288000 left enough headroom as a memoryLimit floor that the app was usable without constant restarts for light duty (not going to service a 1000 person assembly, probably, but fine for prepping an event and then deciding how to scale up from there). Other notes are in the README of the packaging repo. Also recommend building with buildkit turned on if you don't normally - the JS compilation takes a short eternity, but the Dockerfile takes pretty good advantage of buildkit multistage builds for parallelizing as well as limiting bloat in the final container.

                  @girish Just a bump on this - figure it got lost in the 6.0-releasing shuffle. No huge deal, but hope it can still make unstable this year šŸ™‚

                        Oh, it seems the ARG has to be added for each build stage (don't have much experience with these multi-stage builds).

                          Works after that moving the VERSION arg down. Will get it published tomorrow.

                            @girish Weird. FWIW, I run with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 on all the time - https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/build_enhancements/ for more on that particular feature. Glad you got it sorted and we can get this app out there!

                                    @yusf I agree. Unfortunately it only supports SAML for SSO so far. Could send a feature request upstream. I've also got a partially-implemented packaging of the Shibboleth IdP for Cloudron, but that's a little stalled while I work out how to deal with some of its idiosyncrasies

                                        @jimcavoli I tried building it again the other day and still got the same error. So, I have to investigate why. Maybe something with multi-state builds and our build server.

                                          @jimcavoli Do you mind if I make it a single stage Dockerfile like the other apps?

                                          edit: Actually, that seems easy since you have already written in to branch off the base nicely.

                                            @girish I could try to adjust it to be a straight-through Dockerfile. Alternately, if you aren't running with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 on that machine (which it appears not to be based on output), would you want to give that a shot? As of Docker 20.10.0 (released 8 December 2020), it is considered a stable core feature.

                                            I've got other packagings coming soon that are written to use the same build features, especially when there's a lot of things to build/download, so it'd be nice to know where we're going to land on this. Looks like packages on both my 18.04 and 20.04 boxes are at 19.03.8 which is the 10 March 2020 release. I do happen to be running 20.10.2 on my development machine (and the remote Ubuntu 20.04 build server to be technical, which is the latest, 04 January 2021 release), but it's not like the artifacts are any less compatible after being output with recent versions (those containers ship just fine onto my test Cloudron).

                                            It seems to me like the buildkit engine should be preferable and backward-compatible as described in https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/build_enhancements/ certainly in the 20.x series and beyond, but I've had no issues using it full-time for over a year on the 19.x series and mixing 20.x builds to 19.x runtimes as well.

                                              @jimcavoli Yes, I can fix it up. I actually use our build service app which doesn't have BUILDKIT set (assuming, it's off by default). Currently, all cloudrons and all our related services are around Docker 19. I guess we should upgrade Docker to 20 in the next Cloudron release which will help us move forward with the buildkit stuff.

                                                    @bubonicfred I was just looking into this today. @jimcavoli has finished up the packaging as such.

                                                    @jimcavoli where did you find the packaging instructions/docs from? I was trying to just follow through the Dockerfile but it seems quite complicated and I could not find any instructions or code on the openslides site atleast

                                                      I was trying to just follow through the Dockerfile but it seems quite complicated and I could not find any instructions or code on the openslides site atleast

                                                      Is one of these what you're looking for?

                                                        @girish Yeah, what @jdaviescoates posted is the thing - it's largely not documented all that well from the technical setup perspective. I just sort of...figured it out? There's not that many components and it's a pretty standard python app. Because it's not well-documented on the project's part insofar as running is concerned, that's a large part of why I made the readme and put all the notes in that I did.

                                                            I've updated https://git.cloudron.io/jimcavoli/openslides-app with the latest changes for version 3.3 of Openslides. Dockerfile is still multi-staged for the time being. @girish do you want to take another pass at building as-is or should I work on making the Dockerfile straight through.

Arguing with tar/gzip and GitHub about file formats presently, but I can replicate the issue you were having and am testing against the same Dockerfile with and without buildit on, so once I get that sorted, we can regroup and go from there.

Last, I checked, there were no clear instructions for installations from source, so one has to reverse engineer from their docker files.
