Cloudron Forum

Hi all, I'd like to package a small node app for personal use. I'm following the packaging tutorial but I can't get the example apps to install.

Steps taken

• install the cloudron CLI
• logged onto my server
• prove it's logged in by listing already installed apps
• clone the example TS repo https://git.cloudron.io/docs/tutorial-typescript-app
• hop into the repo directory
• run cloudron install
• get a HTTP error

$ cloudron install     
No build detected. This package will be built on the server.
Location: tutorial
Failed to install app: 400 message: "incorrect mime type. expecting application/json"

Am I missing something or has some part of the process changed since the documentation was written?

Any insights greatly appreciated!

I need to update to 9.1.0 to access the security patch for nextcloud, unfortunately I think something has gone wrong and cloudron has failed to release a lock.

Has anyone had this before, how can I break the deadlock?

There is only one reference to a lock in the logs

It should be updating on cron so it looks like this issue has been present for some time

Thanks for the speedy response. Sadly that didn't fix my issue, so assuming it should work I did some poking around to see what might be the cause of the rejected mime type. TLDR I'm on version 9.0.17 and should try upgrading.

More detailed explanation if anyone finds this topic by searching in the future, it looks like json is being enforced here

https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/v9.0.17/src/server.js?ref_type=tags#L268

but the CLI sends a multipart form, so it can attach the tar bundled app here

https://git.cloudron.io/platform/cloudron-cli/-/blob/master/src/actions.js?ref_type=heads#L699

that's cleared up in the later version 9.1.0

https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/v9.1.0/src/server.js?ref_type=tags#L275

Hopefully that will resolve my issue

thankyou this cleared the lock and let me find the real problem - update failed due to system deps so I updated ubuntu and got things back on track
