Solved Seting Bash Aliases for Cloudron Terminal

[Shai]

I've been able to create aliases for the Cloudron terminal by creating the file

/app/data/.bash_aliases

putting the aliases there and then running

source /app/data/.bash_aliases

every time I log into the terminal. I was assuming that adding a .bashrc file wouldn't do anything. Is there any way for me to be able to skip the "source" step?

@shai Interesting, I always wanted to have this, gonna try this on my side
I wish we could choose to use ZSH or else and have a full blown shell on the web terminal

Currently there is no way because the .bashrc is not editable. I guess we never thought of the Web Terminal as some sort of login shell.

would that require a new base image?
or simply a source line wrapped in an if exist statement in the start script for the web shell?

It seems bash has a argument --rcfile. So, we can just fix it when we invoke the docker exec.

OK, I have made a fix to source in /app/data/.bashrc in web terminal. This requires a new Cloudron release, so it will be in next release.

If you use the CLI tool, just update to 4.11.0 and the cloudron exec will automatically source in that file with the current Cloudron release (6.2.8)

I love it when an inspiration comes together!
