Foundry Virtual Tabletop

[BrutalBirdie]

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!

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?

@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:

@LoudLemur said in Foundry Virtual Tabletop:

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.

@LoudLemur what did my eyes and ears just have to witness?
But, there is a module for Pathfinder 2? https://foundryvtt.com/packages/pf2e
What ever your intention was with this post.

AH! Because the gencontv is currently live or starting soon.

@BrutalBirdie That Gencon livestream sucks!

Why isn't Foundry an official application on Cloudron yet?

Tutorial For How to Install Foundry on Cloudron

Here’s a step-by-step guide to installing FoundryVTT on Cloudron using the public image, as shown in your screenshots and the asciinema cast.

Prerequisites
You have a working Cloudron server.
You have the Cloudron CLI installed and configured.
You have git and jq installed on your system.
You have a domain/subdomain ready to use for FoundryVTT (e.g., d20.cloudron.dev).
Step-by-Step Installation

1. Clone the FoundryVTT Cloudron App Repository
   Open your terminal and run:

Bash

git clone https://github.com/BrutalBirdie/cloudron-foundryvtt.git

This will create a folder called cloudron-foundryvtt.

2. Change Directory
   Move into the cloned directory:

Bash

cd cloudron-foundryvtt

3. Get the App ID and Version
   Extract the app ID and version from the manifest using jq:

Bash

jq -r .id CloudronManifest.json
jq -r .version CloudronManifest.json

The output should be something like:

App ID: foundryvtt.cloudron.app
Version: 0.0.6 (or whatever is current)

4. Install the App Using the Public Image
   Replace d20.cloudron.dev with your desired subdomain.

Bash

cloudron install --location d20.cloudron.dev --image brutalbirdie/$(jq -r .id CloudronManifest.json):$(jq -r .version CloudronManifest.json)

This command tells Cloudron to install the app at your chosen subdomain using the public Docker image.
5. Wait for Installation to Complete
The CLI will show progress: registering subdomains, waiting for DNS propagation, etc.
Once you see App is installed., you’re done!
6. Check Logs (Optional)
To check the app logs:

Bash

cloudron logs --app d20.cloudron.dev

7. Access FoundryVTT
   Open your browser and go to https://d20.cloudron.dev (or your chosen subdomain).
   You should see the FoundryVTT setup page.
   Troubleshooting
   If you get DNS errors, make sure your subdomain is correctly set up and points to your Cloudron server.
   If you need to update or reinstall, repeat the steps above.

   You’re done!
   You now have FoundryVTT running on your Cloudron server. If you need to update, just pull the latest image and repeat the install command.

@LoudLemur for your bash snippets you should use the code formatting with either a single backtick ` for lines or tripple ones for codeblocks:

cloudron install --location d20.cloudron.dev --image brutalbirdie/$(jq -r .id CloudronManifest.json):$(jq -r .version CloudronManifest.json)
