I guess.. I think this is "all a bit complicated" to learn in the time available. I may revisit later, but for now I think some feedback / an output is that it would be useful to:

  • be able to install just by giving a github repository
  • provide a simple / guided Manifest creator form (with some best-guess defaults)

I appreciate that these things are easier said than done, and may for all I know be entirely impossible / wrong thing to ask for.

There has to be a CloudronManifest.json in the local directory when you do this.

I'll have to look into it, apologies

When I try this I get:

$ cloudron install --image tcmbp132021/paperless-ng:derek210709
> No CloudronManifest.json found

These are a couple of custom packages I built.
I take zero credit for them : they are the work of other talented people. I just built them.

Any dates in the 'tags' are the date I built them, not the the date of the underlying package. They may not be latest available

My understanding is they can be installed in your cloudron instance - without building / pushing first - by :
cloudron install --image <repo-name>:<tag-name>

Wasn't my intention but no problem. So I will find 2 or 3 ones I have done and share their links later. Just in case it saves someone some time or stress.

So with that in mind, is there / could there be a 'community' list of images somewhere?

@nebulon ... but presumably pulling a built-for-cloudron app direct from docker hub would work to avoid the build / push steps ?

yes, that definitely works. all the appstore app images are stored in docker hub as well.

e.g. if I do a custom build for myself, but make my repo on docker hub available to others

So to have a reliable app instance, you would have to adjust the upstream Dockerfile and make sure all data ends up in either /app/data and/or the addon database Cloudron provides. Otherwise the backups and restore features will not work.
