Create custom configuration files to fetch articles

[stefano]

Hi, I am a Cloudron-newbie!

I want to create a few custom configuration files for Wallabag as described here:
https://doc.wallabag.org/en/user/errors_during_fetching.html#creationupdate-of-a-site-configuration-file

I want to do it because I have issues fetching articles content from a few websites (e.g. Freecodecamp.org is not working at all).

But if I go to the app terminal and navigate to vendor/j0k3r/graby-site-config as described in the instructions, and use nano to create a freecodecamp.org.txt file, when I try to save I get this error message:

[ Error writing freecodecamp.org.txt: Read-only file system ]

Is there a workaround? Is there a way to make this folder writable?
There are a few sites which are not working and I already have the config files ready.

Thanks!
S.

@stefano that is an interesting use-case. Didn't know this existed. To solve this, we have to make a new app package, where this specific vendor folder is symlinked into /app/data, if that is possible. I will take a look at it.

@nebulon got it! Thanks for the update

I hope this would be possible. If not I just have to wait for the next Wallabag update.

If anybody is interested, new config files can be submitted to this repo https://github.com/fivefilters/ftr-site-config and they will be added to Wallabag next releases.

@stefano Looks like your change got merged - https://github.com/fivefilters/ftr-site-config/commit/9f46388233016ad70a5dd2269043c12924965e3e

So I guess we just wait for a wallabag release then. Generally allowing things to be modified in vendor/ folders is not ideal, as mostly those contain code.

Hey there,
is there any update on this?
Is it possible to symlink the vendor folder into /app/data so that I can edit the vendor files?

Thanks,
