    So, thinking a bit more, I like the idea of "downloading" some package file that the user can upload to install an app. I guess this is very similar to android apk files. The main advantage over installing using a git repo link is that the packaging code doesn't need to be open source. App packages listed on the current App Store are all open source but just like app licensing it's not for us to enforce.

    @girish Lol, this bring us to things like App Images.

    I'd still like the ability to have a private file repo and http(s) based installs from things like Surfer.

    To generate the app from a git repo, there could be a bundling script like you mentioned.

    Updates manual, but at some point I see feature requests to be more like package repositories with tools to scan for all available updates.

        That I believe is correct however I believe they allow third-party packaging like this.

          I should have been clearer... I meant the packaging source code itself is opensource (i.e the docker file and the tests) but not the apps themselves. We actually many apps that are not open source - emby, teamspeak, the minecraft apps, the pre-installed smtp plugin in WP (was not opensource, but i have switched it to an open one now), probably forgetting more.
