Replace custom build with version from appstore?

[fbartels]

Hi,

with the cloudron cli it is possible to "update" an app that was originally installed from the appstore with a locally built version (by doing cloudron install --app 778fa79a-7f96-418e-8810-b16c1a8a7ea2, where 778.. is the id of the current app).
But how about going back to the official version? The update action does not seem to support specifying an appstore id.

One a side note depending on the combination of parameters I get different error messages from the cloudron cli.

$ cloudron install --appstore-id com.github.xxx --app xxx
Use "cloudron update" to update an app
$ cloudron install --appstore-id com.github.xxx
Location: xxx
Failed to install app: 409 message: Domain 'xxx.yyy.eu' is in use

Since we separated the install from the update, I don't think that is possible anymore. Before there was quite a bit of flexibility but also magic when it was a new install or an update.

This also is why the error messages are like this. Previously adding --app would essentially mean updating or more like overwrite that app with this appstoreId or local manifest/build. The update part is now handled by the update subcommand and the install is always a new instance.

I guess what is missing here is to accept either the appstoreId or the image (which defaults to check for the current folder having a manifest and a corresponding build) for the update subcommand.

yes, that would be nice

@fbartels Ah, I faced this exact issue the other day (your use case is different, but I wanted a similar CLI option) and made a task for it a week ago - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/cloudron-cli/-/issues/56 . Will get to this

I have added cloudron update --appstore-id {id} for the next release.
