Foundry Virtual Tabletop

[matt-derrick]

Hey there, I'm new to cloudron, but interested in using this foundryvtt app. I see it's not in the app store, so how would I go about using @BrutalBirdie's version? Sorry if this is covered somewhere, I'm still looking at all the documentation.

[murgero]

@matt-derrick Checkout his readme for information on installing: https://github.com/BrutalBirdie/cloudron-foundryvtt?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-install-from-public-image

[BrutalBirdie]

@murgero that is correct.
But I did not update the doc that I also now push the images directly to dockerhub so you can install directly without any local build need.
I mean yea it is included in the terminal recording but not everyone knows that this can be copied and pasted from the recording

So it can be done with the cloudron-cli :

# Get the CloudronManifest.json
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BrutalBirdie/cloudron-foundryvtt/refs/heads/master/CloudronManifest.json

# Install via the cloudron-cli
cloudron install --location vtt --image brutalbirdie/foundryvtt.cloudron.app:0.0.7

@BrutalBirdie Hey, so thank you so much for that! I want to install VTT but it gives me this error: App installation error: No CloudronManifest.json found
I just used the code you provided using the cloudron-cli.

Oh - nevermind. Got it to working. Thanks a lot!

Updated to 12.331 => https://github.com/BrutalBirdie/cloudron-foundryvtt/releases/tag/12.331

I'm very sorry for the amateur question, but I am having issues updating custom packages; how would you update an app in-place if it's not on the store?

[BrutalBirdie]

@TheMeerkat
e.g. to the latest version published:

# get the latest CloudronManifest.json by either git pull if you checked out the repo or just use wget
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BrutalBirdie/cloudron-foundryvtt/refs/tags/12.331/CloudronManifest.json

# update the app
cloudron update --app $LOCATION --image brutalbirdie/foundryvtt.cloudron.app:1.0.0

Replace $LOCATION with your installed app location

You can also use the App id instead of the location. For more information see cloudron update --help

Done

Not sure if you still need the latest CloudronManifest.json but I included it anyway.

[TheMeerkat]

@BrutalBirdie Apparently you do need the manifest--that fixed the error message it threw at me before. Thanks, and sorry again.

[BrutalBirdie]

All good! Happy to help.
Also, I will add this to the README of the repo.

Thx for your work!
Unfortunately, I get an error: Access Denied

App update error: Installation failed: Unable to pull image brutalbirdie/foundryvtt.cloudron.app/tags/1.1.0. message: (HTTP code 404) unexpected - pull access denied for brutalbirdie/foundryvtt.cloudron.app/tags/1.1.0, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied  statusCode: 404

[BrutalBirdie]

@hpz24
OH! That is because I have a typo in my release!
The /tags/ part in the docker image "url" was wrong. Silly me
Correct is - brutalbirdie/foundryvtt.cloudron.app:1.1.0

# go into /tmp/ download the manifest, update $LOCATION, delete the manifest and go into $HOME
cd /tmp/ && \
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BrutalBirdie/cloudron-foundryvtt/refs/tags/13.342/CloudronManifest.json && \
cloudron update --app $LOCATION --image brutalbirdie/foundryvtt.cloudron.app:1.1.0 && \
rm CloudronManifest.json && \
cd ~/

[BrutalBirdie]

@hpz24 did this resolve it? Just want to have this "task" checked in my brain

[hpz24]

yeah, it works now like a charm!
Sorry for my late respone, I "only" upvoted your thread.

[TheMeerkat]

Hey there! No rush or pressure (and I appreciate you packaging this at all!), but an update is required for PF2E.

Hey @TheMeerkat did you get the opportunity to update and test the update?

[hpz24]

I I updated last week and the system is up and running!

[LoudLemur]

Currently, what is the easy way to get Foundry up and running on Cloudron?

Are there likely to be any sweet deals for additional DLC on cyber Monday? Which is the best additional content?

[BrutalBirdie]

@LoudLemur You need a license, that comes first.
FoundryVTT is not in the App Store.
All steps for installation are documented in the git repo in the ASCIINEMA recording:
https://github.com/BrutalBirdie/cloudron-foundryvtt?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-install-from-public-image

@LoudLemur said in Foundry Virtual Tabletop:

Are there likely to be any sweet deals for additional DLC on cyber Monday? Which is the best additional content?

Can't tell, leaning to no or highly unlikely.

This is up to the FoundryVTT team and also each plugin / extension is developed by a different entity.
So expecting a full sale on everything is highly unlikely.
Also, giving an answer to "best additional content" is not possible.
FoundryVTT is a virtual tabletop software.
It depends, if you want to play DnD, DSA, Warhammer 40k or some other pen and paper game system.
Each one is unique and has unique plugins.
