I think for many that’s exactly the level of “interaction” you wanna have with reddit after the shit they pulled in the last weeks… Use it as a knowledge base but don’t add value to it.

This is a good point. I think most users, maybe 90% on Reddit, lurk. All they need is something like Teddit. Reddit has become yet another anti-social corporation.

@girish I moved it to /run and it works fine now. thanks for the hint. It need some time to get used to all those patterns

btw: repo is updated

Fantastic, you rising star! I was hoping for this for some time and thank you very much for making it happen. I hope it won't be long until we see it in the main Cloudron suite of applications.

There is also LibReddit as a view-only reading app for Reddit
https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit
Might be easy to package

Makes one wonder why all the API pricing fuss.

Interesting observation, and now you mention it, it does make one wonder...

@Kubernetes

Thanks very much for this. I am just looking at the documentation and quickly making a few notes which might help make using this easier for people who haven't tried using an application which is not yet officially supported on Cloudron. These notes are generally wrong, and should not be followed, but might be what a newbie might try doing.

cloudron-app-package
Package for deloyment of this app on Cloudron

THIS IS ONLY A PROJECT TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO DEPLOY THIS APP ON CLOUDRON
To deploy it manually on Cloudron follow this instruction:
I think it would be good to start with stating that you need to take the image from its repo and put it onto your Cloudron's Operating System somehow, and explain how to do this.

Say where: On your Operating System (e.g. Ubuntu) open a terminal and...
Build the docker Image:

It might be good to mention navigating to a particular folder.

What goes into a terminal can be included in code brackets like this:

docker build -t APPNAME .

docker build -t APPNAME .

Tag the docker Image:

With instructions like this, it is also helpful for people if they see a worked example. It can also help to mention where the image registry is. For example, is it on Gitlab, or my server, or... So you could include a line saying, "For example, if your Cloudron is called funnycats.com then type this:

docker tag APPNAME:latest https://funnycats.com/appname

docker tag APPNAME:latest URL-OF-YOUR-IMAGE-REGISTRY/APPNAME

Push Image to registry:
It might help if it is briefly mentioned what this accomplishes.
docker push URL-OF-YOUR-IMAGE-REGISTRY/APPNAME

Install image on your Cloudron Instance:

cloudron install --image URL-OF-YOUR-IMAGE-REGISTRY/APPNAME

I know nothing but I thought it was all connected to "knowledge sites" being sucked dry by AI engines harvesting data. So they raised prices, similar to Twitter imposing usage limits.

But maybe it's about something else

@Kubernetes Pretty great how well this works! I have no idea how it gets the reddit data. I have published an initial package. Code moved to https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/teddit-app

Please let the upstream project know the package exists.

I can't see this as a new application in Cloudron yet. I would like to test it there as soon as possible.

@LoudLemur I announced it 5 mins too soon. Can you try again now?

[girish]

@Kubernetes btw, I saw that you moved the entire code into /run. Only the specific directories where the app writes into should be symlinked. By keeping the code in /app/code, we keep the code in "read only" parts of container. This keeps things more secure since the code cannot be modified at run time (prevents a whole range of attacks).

@girish … and don‘t forget the proxy-auth before publishing

Please please

I believe they use built-in reddit RSS feeds to show data.
