Looks interesting. Has a small warning: "Please keep in mind that PocketBase is still under active development and therefore full backward compatibility is not guaranteed before reaching v1.0.0."

I See, but that is also being said about Immich, http://immich.app. Yet, it is wonderful to use

Adding to this, also: It is a developer tool: So the people using it, would definitely be aware of such a caveat, I guess.

I'd like to use pocketbase on cloudron too. Great replacement for firestore. Been self hosting for a few months without any issues.

i have done a Cloudron package at https://git.cloudron.io/nils/pocketbase if some adventurous Cloudroneers want to test it. Packaging it is pretty easy but i'm not sure to keep it updated if it does not fit my needs.
Also i may be more interested to fork the base project to support Postgresql because SQLite... i don't know... it feels weak to me.

I want to test it! I might be missing something obvious, but how do I test it out on my cloudron instance?

@rosano posted a simple tutorial for installing custom apps without docker : https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11349/install-custom-app-via-private-registry-and-cloudron-build

@TheNils Can you put in a LICENSE ? I can try to publish it, since it seems simple enough.

[TheNils]

@girish Done !

@TheNils thanks! repo moved to https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/pocketbase-app . you should have permissions. I have published the app as unstable. Couple of issues are pending (in the issue tracker).

@TheNils you should have App Dev badge as well, now.

I had to unlist Pocketbase for the moment since it's using sqlite. This is not safe wrt Cloudron backups (especially because this is a backend app). SMTP automation also does not work since this feature has to be added upstream - https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/669

@TheNils sqlite3 support is now in 8.2 - https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#sqlite . I guess we can add this back now.
