Cloudron Non-App Store Packaged Apps
-
I recently realized that there are quite a few apps that have been packaged by gracious developers here that aren't on the App Store for one reason or another. I started a repo to keep track of them hoping we can compile the whole lot of them!
A copy of the list is pinned here:
-
Homepage - A simple, standalone, self-hosted PHP page that is your window to your server and the web. (Source Code)
- Tests
- License
-
Standard Notes (Sync Server) - The Standard Notes syncing server (Source Code)
- Tests
- License
-
Standard Notes Web - A free, open-source, and completely encrypted notes app. (Source Code)
- Tests
- License
- NOTES: For some reason, it seems that this app doesn't backup well and often errors out in the process with a MySQL error ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I just disabled the backing up of this app since the notes themselves are backed up in the Sync Server app.
-
webhooks - webhook is a lightweight incoming webhook server to run shell commands (Source Code)
- Tests
- License
-
Zola - Server to serve up statically generated Zola sites
- Tests
- License
-
nginx app - nginx server, akin to Cloudron's LAMP
- Tests
- License
-
Outline - An open, extensible, wiki for your team built using React and Node.js.
- Tests
- License
Open to suggestions about formatting or any other pieces of data we may want to keep track of. Also, feel free to comment here about any more Apps that are packaged and they can be added to the list and repo!

That's a nice idea.

Something machine readable would be nice, then there could be ways to automate interaction with the list. Json, yaml (my preference), toml... The same data could also be used to generate a more human friendly view of it.

@fbartels very cool thought! I modeled this after the awesome-selfhosted repo but I like the idea of something machine-readable. I'll report back when I have something!

If you want we can keep track of them in this forum as well as a WIP thread instead of a WIP tag. The WIP tag currently only indicates what @nebulon and I are working on to get them published and not what has already been packaged/contributed in various states.
We can make the topic sticky and also I think I have to give you mod permissions so you can keep it updated by editing it. Similar to what @jdaviescoates 's thread of who has contributed so far.

I have a couple I'm still working on (Oragono being the most recent effort)

@atrilahiji I hope to have the new format up and running soon for devs to contribute what they're working on!

Ok, I think I figured it out. The repo now includes a packaged_apps.json file that is machine readable and is the source of truth for the README list. The README gets updated with a pre-commit hook that will compile the list (plus a prefix and postfix) whenever a commit gets made.
Thoughts/Merge Requests/more Apps listed are welcome!

@girish I'm not entirely following - how would this be related to the repo? What would be the 'source of truth'?
@thetomester13 I meant maintaining a forum post like https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3344/app-contributions-hall-of-fame . It's probably easier to maintain since people can leave a note on this forum instead of sending you a PR each time.

@girish I see. Shall I edit the top post in this thread to get the list going?
-
@thetomester13 Or you can make a new post, up to you. You are mod in this category in any case.

I also have some apps that I am using privately and that I can contribute if people are interested:
- Nginx: A simple nginx install with PHP support. Similar to LAMP but with nginx
- Zola: A package using zola (getzola.org) to build static pages. The code comes from a git repo and supports webhook triggers to allow a nice push to git -> build static page workflow.

@dswd very cool! I could see the nginx app being useful for some people for sure.
As for Zola, is there a UI to it at all? Or is the app you packaged just the server serving up Zola static sites?
@thetomester13 There is no UI in the package. Zola has a serve mode where it listens to changes and rebuilds automatically. You can use this to edit the files and see the changes in the browser in almost realtime. That is as close as zola gets to a UI (it's not a wiki). However, this is not packaged by me. You don't want visitors to see your edits live, do you? You use the serve mode locally to edit the pages and then push them to git which triggers my zola app to build and host the static pages.

Here are the repos for the apps:

@dswd just added those 2 to the post above!

I stumbled on a Gitea domain with all the non-store app in one place, can anyone provide the link again, I can't find it...:/
@rmdes you might be talking about @atridad 's Alt-Ron. I believe it's moved around a few times. Most recently he said he'll upload his repos to Cloudron's git.
thanks for mod status! I'll keep an eye on this thread and update it and the repo if people submit other apps.
