Baserow Cloudron app - Airtable alternative

[girish]

@bram Are you open to have this app published in the Cloudron store? This involves moving the packaging to the git.cloudron.io and also have automated tests (we can help with both).

[bram]

@timconsidine Glad to hear that it now works for you!

[bram]

@girish Apologies for my super late response. I don't check the Cloudron forum that often, but luckily @tomershivani reached out to me via email notifying me about your question. I would love to have Baserow in the Cloudron app store. I am not sure which steps I exactly need to make. Is there a documentation page about this? Or is it just a matter of creating a new repo on git.cloudron.io containing the files that now live here https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/tree/develop/deploy/cloudron, add automated tests and you will do the rest? Would love to learn a bit more about this process and help with the automated tests would be much appreciated.

@bram I wrote up a quick publishing doc here - https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/publishing/ . If you can just put the deploy code in git.cloudron.io as a separate repo with a license, I can take it from there. I only needed your go ahead to move this forward

Beautiful!

One small typo found:

At this point, Cloudron team will look into your package and get it ready from publishing. 

from = for

@girish I just created an account on git.cloudron.io, but it seems like I can't create a new repository. When creating a new project I get the error "Namespace is not valid". All the other repo's are in the cloudron project https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron, but it seems like I can't create a new repo there. Am I missing something?

Alternatively, you can find the deploy code in our own public repo and copy it from there https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow/-/tree/master/deploy/cloudron. It already has an MIT license there.

How would it work in the future if we release a new version of Baserow? Can we deploy the latest version to the app store?

I'm sure @girish will reply similarly shortly but I they'll need to give your account access because by default they have it locked down

[bram]

@jdaviescoates That makes sense. I'll await his response.

[girish]

@bram awesome, I will take it from here! Give me a day or two to look into this.

@girish I've been using @bram 's instructions and doing an alt-ron host of it. it's been a snap to maintain so hopefully it can come to the store soon
(wish i had time to assist, life got in the way )

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.

[bram]

@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

[potemkin_ai]

@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!).
