koillection : A self-hosted website to manage all your collections
-
Good news! With some help from the developer I was able to make some strides with this, and am now stuck on a new error. The Koillection application is built on top of Symfony, a PHP framework, which introduces some complexity which don't get along well with Cloudron's read-only fs. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other Symfony based applications that could help point me in the right direction? I also pushed up the latest code to the repo in the meantime if anyone wants to take a look!

Thanks and happy Thanksgiving

Not Symfony, but Castopod is built with CodeIgniter which afaiu is a similar kettle of fish (a PHP framework)

@thetomester13 from https://symfony.com/projects, it seems mautic, grav, wallabag are some examples.

@girish that's exactly what I needed to be able to get Koillection up and running! Thanks so much. The problem at the end was also getting a write-friendly directory for user sessions for Symfony, by symlinking
/run/php/sessioninto/app/data. I pushed up the latest which is a working application to the repo here.@girish is there interest in making this an official app? If so I can work on making tests for this (no guarantee of timeline though). The other question is how strict the precedence is for auto-creating users on app installation? Currently on install the user needs to go in and create the first user. If a user is a pre-req for an installable app then I'd need to find a way to bake an admin user in.

I'm pretty sure there are existing apps like that

@thetomester13 don’t fret about it, different apps take different approaches, not really right or wrong one, do what is best/easiest for you, just make sure it is clearly instructed what user should do on installation

Appreciate the input!
I just pushed up some changes to make the app a bit more official: image, markdown files, etc. It should be ready for people to use if they'd like! I've been able to create a Collection, leverage Templates for additional fields, and use the API pretty seamlessly.
Again, the repo is here.
@girish @nebulon if we want to make this app official let me know and I can start working towards making some tests for it.

@thetomester13 sure, if it's useful, why not. I have forked it at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/koillection-app and you should have access.

Koillection would be a great addition to Cloudron.
I tried it on separate VPS in docker-compose but reluctant to start adding data there if it comes to Cloudron soon.
I hate migrating data
