    Hi there,

    Currently I have three Apps that I run with Docker on another Server and use the Cloudron App Proxy to reach them because they are not listed in the Cloudron App "Store".

    I wonder if there are better approaches than that? Any recommendations? In general I would prefer to run them on Cloudron Host.

    Best,
    Michael

    PS: List of the three Apps:

    • https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding
    • https://github.com/deiucanta/chatpad
    • https://github.com/CorentinTh/it-tools

    That is probably one of the best ways to do it BUT if you don't mind reading documentation, I'd recommend reading the packaging docs: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/

    Really just need to a couple small changes to dockerfile then make a CloudronMaifest.json 🙂

    @Kubernetes just FYI :

    • I use Chatpad as a desktop app, rather than packaging it : works well
    • I have done a custom package of Chatbot-ui at https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/chatgpt-ui

    Appreciate that it doesn't answer your question directly, but @murgero has.

    Chatbot-ui only supports GPT3.5 but I don't have a key for ChatGPT4 yet, so that's not a problem for me.
    (I use the OpenAI plus subscription for ChatGPT4 usage)

    @murgero @timconsidine thanks for you replies.

    I was aware of the packaging. But I didn't have experience with the private docker registries. I did install the Chatbot-ui from @timconsidine successfully.

    I also tried to modify "IT-Tools" to get it deployed to Cloudron, but without success. I think the problem is that it tries to write by default to a read-only location and I don't know yet how to change that.

    Later I will also try with Linkding - but I guess it will similar regarding the read-only issue...

    @Kubernetes it-tools is really neat, thanks for introducing it.
    I tried a 'coffee-break' packaging of it-tools, meaning I checked to see if it could be packaged 'out of the box'.
    Sadly for me it couldn't although I didn't explore why.
    Maybe I will try again later with a bit more time and effort

    I got it-tools running after adding this to the nginx.conf file:

    client_body_temp_path /run/client_body;
    proxy_temp_path /run/proxy_temp;
    fastcgi_temp_path /run/fastcgi_temp;
    scgi_temp_path /run/scgi_temp;
    uwsgi_temp_path /run/uwsgi_temp;

    However I was not able to get linkding running in Cloudron. I get error messages regarding bootstrap.sh and at the moment I have no idea where the real problem is.

    If you package them for Cloudron, leave a note in the corresponding App Wishlist with a link to the repo and maybe we can look into getting them published. But otherwise, it's not possible to run plain ol' docker images directly on Cloudron.

    @girish Done - I have created a App Wishlist Entry for IT-Tools. I hope I did everything the right way 🙂

    I start to like packaging Apps for Cloudron 😉

    So, two of my three Apps are running in Cloudron and I published the packages repos in the App Wishlist.

    Next thing will be Linkding... but I am not sure if I can really make it...

    Indirectly you could by using sysbox. What happened to making it an option for an app build?
