      Hi! Is there a way to restrict apps available for installation from CloudRon AppStore?

      Setting private registry / repository is fine.

        @potemkin_ai Free version allows two apps, not sure if it allows enabling the private registry for more.

          @potemkin_ai are you thinking about a managed cloudron re-sale type businesses?
          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

          Like my work? Consider donating a drink. Cheers!

            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

              @micmc , @BrutalBirdie , @robi , yes, it's for managed/commercial services on top of Cloudron.

              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?

                @potemkin_ai Currently, there is no way to restrict. As @micmc said, we have to implement this feature.

                    The private registry feature is meant for installing custom apps and not related to appstore. All the app store apps are public in docker registry (intentionally to reduce lock-in).

                      @girish can I somehow disable AppStore and re-publish the apps I want via private repository, hence implementing a restricted AppStore apps as of now, before it's implemented on your side?

                        @potemkin_ai App Store cannot be disabled, it's central to Cloudron. Hard to imagine disabling it tbh 🙂 Currently, there is no way to filter out apps unfortunately.

                          @girish not insisting, what I would be thinking of to start with - it's to disable appstore page to be displayed for some users 🙂
                          Or, some other way of users' rights separation, like RocketChat does, for example - I guess there are some things under the hood already.

                          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.

                            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.

                              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?

                                @potemkin_ai That would be from cloudron CLI with a specific custom app address.

                                Check the docs for the cloudron CLI package.
