Baserow Cloudron app - Airtable alternative

[zagzoog]

I just installed Baseerow on Cloudron. Is perfect for my use case. running beautifully. my question is regarding the web socket. I am not sure how to access it. Baserow is accessible through a sub-domain. what would be the url for the web socket api?
Thank you

[bram]

@zagzoog The web socket URL would be on wss://api.baserow.io/ws/core/?jwt_token=YOUR_JWT_TOKEN where you would replace api.baserow.io with your self hosted domain. So, if your Baserow copy runs on baserow.example.com, you should replace it with that. Both the backend and the web-frontend run on the same domain in Cloudron. More information about the web sockets and also some examples how to connect directly can be found here https://baserow.io/docs/getting-started%2Fweb-socket-api.

@girish Could you share any progress on having Baserow in the Cloudron App Store?

[girish]

@bram Not yet, sorry been backlogged a lot. I will get to this soonish. Hopefully next week.

[humptydumpty]

@girish just want to remind you about Baserow

[jeau]

@girish Baserow 1.6 just released

• https://baserow.io/blog/september-2021-release-of-baserow

thanks @bram

@girish have you had any chance to check on that since?

It feels that adding baserow shall be quick and easy - I follow up the instruction from the site and installed it on Cloudron without any problems (1.6 version it was).

I shall also admin, that the app is of the very nice UI and feels very good, having as well a solid roadmap for futher development.

If there is anything I can do to speed up that process (I don't know - upvote something or whatever) - please, let me know!

@jeau , thanks for packing this! It's awesome!

[jeau]

@potemkin_ai Thanks, but I didn't package baserow, @girish and @bram do that. I use this application like you and I can't wait to find it in the Store.

[potemkin_ai]

@jeau apologies for the mistake and thanks for correcting it!

@bram, thank you for the work done!

Hope this will quickly make it to Cloudron.

[girish]

Not yet, we have to start looking into apps next week. This week we are working on the Cloudron release (almost there!).

[potemkin_ai]

@girish have a good one!

[bram]

Thanks for the kind words @potemkin_ai!

Good luck with the release @girish! I know from my experience that those can be a bit stressful. Let my know if there is anything that I can help you with regarding moving Baserow to the Cloudron app store.

@yusf there's a wish list post for that here:

@bram hopefully once @staff have got the 7.0 release rolled out they'll start to prioritise getting some of the already packaged app contributions into the app store ASAP, and IMHO apps that have kindly been packaged by their developers (like Baserow and Chatwoot, and I think possibly some others too. EDIT Appsmith is another) should get priority. Very important to maintain good will of contributors.

@jdaviescoates / @bram : FWIW my unofficial Baserow package app is working fine in Cloudron !

There is a clear benefit to an app being supported, not least upgrades are easier. But to all those wanting it now, well try the unofficial one. It will tide you over.

@timconsidine
I am very interested to test your "unofficiel" package to have Baserow in my Cloudron.
Could you share your tips or link to install it, please ?

[timconsidine]

@bruno sure

Maybe best is to visit https://github.com/bram2w/baserow/blob/master/docs/guides/installation/install-on-cloudron.md

That has a tutorial on installing to Cloudron
I think I did it slightly different, but as that comes from @bram, best to start with that.

In general, installing a custom app package that someone else has made (still beyond me to make one myself) is fairly simple. Article above covers it.

• ensure you have Docker Desktop installed LOCALLY (not server)
• ensure you have a docker repo (I use docker hub free account)
• ensure you have Cloudron CLI installed LOCALLY
• clone the repo (which should have all files needed)
• cd to the directory
• docker build -t <yourreponame>/<appname>:<tag>
• docker push <yourreponame>/<appname>:<tag>
• cloudron install --image <yourreponame>/<appname>:<tag>
  Follow the instruction.

Generally fairly easy.
Shout if you face any issues

@timconsidine since you've already built it, it may be a good idea to connect with @atridad who has an unofficial repository of packaged apps before they're published in the App store.

Sharing the docker hub repo makes it easier for others to try, and there is a feature in Cloudron now to set a custom repo.

[timconsidine]

@robi sure will do

although my build seems old now : V1.3
https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/tcmbp132021/baserow
Must update it

I think I recall that someone here said CloudronManifest.json must be in the same directory when attempting to use cloudron cli, so probably still worth following @bram guide
