<![CDATA[Restrict AppStore apps]]>Hi! Is there a way to restrict apps available for installation from CloudRon AppStore?

Setting private registry / repository is fine.

Check the docs for the cloudron CLI package.

The use case here is for you to develop custom apps and install it on your server. There's no UI as such for displaying custom apps.

I would guess I miss something here - how does an application is to be installed from private repository, if it's invisible from the dashboard UI?

If you wouldn't mind, could you possibly share some link / screenshots, showing how custom repository would be displayed and work on Cloudron?

Private Docker Registry is https://docs.cloudron.io/settings/#private-docker-registry. This can only be used to build custom apps. As in https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/ . The use case here is for you to develop custom apps and install it on your server. There's no UI as such for displaying custom apps.

@girish not insisting, what I would be thinking of to start with - it's to disable appstore page to be displayed for some users 🙂

For normal users, app store is hidden. As in the roles in https://docs.cloudron.io/user-management/#user . Only admins and owner can see app store.

Or, some other way of users' rights separation, like RocketChat does, for example - I guess there are some things under the hood already.

Hard to imagine disabling it tbh 🙂 Currently, there is no way to filter out apps unfortunately.

All the app store apps are public in docker registry (intentionally to reduce lock-in).

Cloudron is easy for technical people, but non-tech guys would still benefit from some human touch and support in here.

@nebulon , @girish , is there, possibly, some workarounds possible?

Setting private registry / repository is fine.

Yeah, this is something I've been proposing for a while now.

I've previously posted a thread with extended explanation of how it could work here:
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7038/create-app-packages-for-managed-cloudrons/23

And that kind of feature would definitely fit the whitelabeling features I've been discussing for a while also and posted details a few days back about this as well here:
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7478/more-on-whitelabelling-cloudron-for-providing-managed-cloudron-instances/7

aka. With this package you can install the apps XYZ and with this package JKL and XYZ.
and / or as a managed provider to restrict a customers choice to minimize load and size?

AFAIK, right now there is no out of the box way to do this
