Tanzawa blogging system / indieweb ready

[rmdes]

Another thing I would like to improve : it seems the sql file is run by root (at least the file is owned by root) I don't think it's a good idea/best practice, so I'm wondering if by running the last command of the start.sh, the python server, with gosu cloudon:cloudron would solve this..

I'm almost done with it !

• got the sqlite database in /app/data/
• .env file symlink (but can't write to it yet??!!)
• /app/code contains all the code and packaging env

Issues

• I'm not sure what's happening this weekend but my container kept starting in migration loop
• if I recovery into the container and start the python server, all is fine, connected, writable
• when I restart, instead of skipping the steps of migration and start the server, it bootloop in migration, while saying there is no migration to do (obviously, everything is like 1 step before working....Grrrr)

Maybe the migration needs to write somewhere for indicating completion.

@robi Actually there is no migration apply, look here : https://github.com/jamesvandyne/tanzawa/issues/179

i've learned a few stuff packaging go-ssb-rooms, will start from scratch for Tanzawa and hopefully have it working smooth

[rmdes]

In this example I think there are some ideas that I can take for Tanzawa, mainly
getting the domain used by cloudron into a variable, which would allow the docker image to be agnostic and not tied/built to a specific domain (mine in my case)

I never managed to get it working properly, but I have not yet abandoned to package this app, just been super busy on IRL stuff, right now my blog is powered by micro.blog I just wanted something to write & be able to cross-post to different networks (twitter,bluesky,nostr,mastodon) knowing I will be able to export all this data without issues in the future.

But, Tanzawa recommended method to be deployed isn't far away from a deploy on cloudron
so I'm going to reconsider this package when I have a bit more time https://github.com/jamesvandyne/tanzawa/blob/main/Dockerfile.fly

Perhaps @Kubernetes will be interested?

It'd be great to have that package in the App Store. Where is the link/ thread? Thanks!

[rmdes]

@jdaviescoates Oh I have removed my current broken package long ago, did not wanted people to install something half broken, but I was able to make it run, but not yet using cloudron hooks for domain, users, database, so it was basically just running with sqlite
and it was a bit messy to install.

I would really love to see this packaged, it's a neat single-user solution to run a blog, very clean, light

There is a remain of my setup here : https://github.com/rmdes/tanzawa
but the setup should be ravamped following the official production ready way to install tanzawa from here https://github.com/jamesvandyne/tanzawa/blob/main/Dockerfile.fly
