AppFlowy

Would be very good to have it in Cloudron. Vikunja is good but a little bit too simplistic for business needs.

I've just discovered AppFlowy and this app seems awesome ! Would love to see it in Cloudron. I'm a notion power user, and I can't wait to ditch notion.
But as @jadudm said, seems like docker-compose based app are not easy to convert to a single dockerfile to work with Cloudron...

This conclusion is not correct.
Compose just means separate things being put together as one, and many devs don't know they don't need to do that with whatever docs the followed.
Hence a single dockerfile is just that, all the services set up in the right sequence in one.
This is what your computer does, right? Until you install a hypervisor or docker, etc to separate things out.
So it's not any more difficult, it's just more than one service to define and setup in the Cloudron way.
And we already have 3 digits of apps many of which need more than one service running for the App.
Tons of examples in at git.cloudron.io

@robi Thanks for your clarification, and you're absolutely right that a docker-compose setup can be translated into a single Dockerfile. I didn’t mean to suggest it's impossible or overly complex from a technical point of view. It just seems to me, based on what I’ve read on the forum and what @jadudm pointed out, that apps originally built with docker-compose tend to require more work to adapt to Cloudron. So they don’t always feel like the easiest starting point compared to more straightforward "quick win" Dockerfile-based apps.
