@timconsidine @girish @nebulon
Are there any concrete plans to package Grist for Cloudron?

[SamGreenwood]

@jdaviescoates didn't realize how to until if already posted.

Maybe you guys would like to upvote the original post as well so that it gains visibility and moves higher up in the app wishlist?

Out of curiosity what constitutes an app being selected or not? 27 upvotes (at time of writing), a lot of engagement and views, clearly a very good fit for the Cloudron platform (which already has Baserow, Nocodb, Directus etc).. When a platform already has Docker support does that make it more or less difficult to get it onto Cloudron? I would assume it is easier?

@umnz - I'm new here, but one thing that helps is someone wanting it enough to follow the guide to package it up, confirm it works, and notify the dev team. https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/ .

But, as someone who has packaged up an app that is waiting for attention I'd be a bit (selfishly) upset to see yet another "no code database" package on Cloudron before mine was selected.

@girish @nebulon
Maybe you'd like to comment? What are the chances we'll see Grist on Cloudron soonish?

[overholt]

@timconsidine Grist is miles above Noco and Baserow. I'd love to see it on Cloudron.

[firmansi]

Eventhough Grist access is quite slow from South East Asia region, not as fast as Noco

@firmansi And I guess that would get solved if you ran your instance on a more local server...one more reason for Grist on Cloudron

[yusf]

Would love to have Grist on Cloudron, thank's for trying @walski

[sclemens]

I'm using Grist and would love to see it in Cloudron as well.

@nebulon
Are there any plans to make Grist availalble?

[timconsidine]

Anyone want Grist ?

Grist-core now packaged as a custom app.

I will add it to CCAI if requested
(don't take this the wrong way but needs a request - sometimes there is initial appetite for an app and it dissipates over time and this is quite an old Wishlist item)

[shrey]

Hi @timconsidine, i would certainly like to try out your Grist package.

After initially not finding Grist on Cloudron, i ended up deploying it on another VPS, using a Portainer/docker-compose based setup.

Would be great if the complete Grist package can be managed within Cloudron itself!

[timconsidine]

@shrey ok will post it here

“Complete package” ?
As I understand it, the open source web version is called grist-core. Don’t know why “core”.
It’s probably the same as your docker-compose version.
Maybe the SaaS hosted or thick clients have extra.

Disclaimer : I suffer from PSSD (post spreadsheet stress disorder) so not an expert on Grist and not used it heavily. But saw there was a demand for it -and it looks cool.

[timconsidine]

@shrey

Grist for Cloudron now shared.

Git repo : https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/cloudron-gristcore
Built docker image : tcmbp132021/cloudron-gristcore:v1.1.0
Available on hosted CCAI or use your own private CCAI-P (remember to pull the latest master catalogue

[Camille]

@timconsidine : Thanks very much for this, I'll test asap

[timconsidine]

@Camille no rush

Let me know any issues.
Not sure I will use much myself so might not encounter them.

I packaged because there seemed to be demand by others. Hope it helps.

[jdaviescoates]

@timconsidine I think part of the interest is that I think it integrates with Outline

[timconsidine]

OMG an integration
Ok will investigate
