<![CDATA[Set up custom API as Cloudron app?]]>Is it a good idea to set up a custom python API as a custom Cloudron app? My research showed it was possible, but I couldn't find any direct reference of someone doing it. So, I was wondering if I am missing something?

The API is super small, but it needs constant availability and no lag longer than usual latency, that's basically it.

Running selfhosted custom apps is part of Cloudron. We run many custom apps which expose an API (but mostly nodejs).

https://ipv4.api.cloudron.io/api/v1/helper/public_ip and https://ipv6.api.cloudron.io/api/v1/helper/public_ip 🙂 for example gives your public IP.
