IMO, Great Addition For Cloudron
Cloudron already features a variety of applications for small business owners and website operators, and having a tool such as SerpBear would save me a lot of money from using other tools (anywhere from $18-$50+ a month). I do recognize that it's technically not free beyond 10k lookups a month, as you'd have to pay ScrapingAnt fees after that.

Yaade is an open-source, self-hosted, collaborative API development environment.

Features:

• Self-hosted: data never leaves your own server
• Multi-user: manage users and their permissions
• Persistent: even across container or server restarts
• Easy single-file data import / export
• Requests are executed on your machine so you can call localhost as well as remote servers
• Most importantly: dark mode default

Why Cloudron Should Host It
As a developer, I use Postman quite frequently, but I often find myself wanting to test out an API when I'm away from my primary computer. Additionally, Yaade would make it easier to share API examples with a team and manage those users. It would also mean I wouldn't have to reinstall Postman whenever it randomly decides to not work on my machine.

@robi I finally figured out how to get it work and play nice, with no thanks to Firewalla. Their customer service is by far the worst I've encountered and they don't provide any networking advice. Thanks to your documentation though, I learned a few things and changed the NUC to have the outbound IP address in /etc/hosts so *.62 my.nuc.com, along with additional lines for local networking. After several repeated reinstalls of our script (sorry, I commented out the lines that check if nginx, docker, or node are installed), I was able to get it work, but it was hacky at first. The issue here was that Cloudron does a request to get the IP address. Since I couldn't EXACTLY figure out how to tell Firewalla to assign that outbound IP to the machine, it would receive my default IP.... *.58. So, after it said "success go to *.58" I went there and it loaded up locally and then went into Cloudrons network config in the UI and specified .62 as the IP address. This then matched what I had in Cloudflare and was able to get everything back up and running!

I did have to make a change, and, again, thanks to your documentation it made it super simple. Email wasn't working. So, in the Firewalla I set the domain to "mrvl.lan" and then made the changes on the nuc to have:

server:
    private-domain: "mrvl.lan"
    domain-insecure: "mrvl.lan"

forward-zone: 
    name: "mrvl.lan"
    forward-addr: 192.168.195.2

I go back to the Firewalla and SSH into it and find their Unbound config, and added this line a line for "local-data-ptr" that has the WAN IP and the mail server domain... and... FINALLY.... it all worked. Now the only thing left is to mount my NAS to it and go crazy with apps as it's loaded up on memory (64GB) and plenty of onboard disk space LOL. I may be requesting more apps soon, specifically Plex, Radaar, etc to take the load off the NAS (it doesn't do Plex while having some VMs running).

Anyway, sorry for the long post. I'm just super excited to be out of paying Vultr $60+ a month and to have it local on a much more powerful machine, so I don't have to toggle apps on and off anymore. It's glorious!

I think anyone that has used n8n outside of Cloudron know that it has loads of potential. For me to move my n8n instance into Cloudron would be amazing, but without the ability to add npm packages as I need them would really slow down any prototyping & development.

However, I read some conversations where @roofboard has made some pretty awesome changes like integrating Python.

I kind of wanted to open the floor to see how, or if, it's possible to make n8n more extendable out of the box and, if not, if there could be clearer documentation on how to do things or at least a faster way than rebuilding & deploying when I just want to add a npm package.

Anyway, after speaking with @roofboard he thought it would also be best to create a thread to have a general discussion about this topic and see where it takes us!

I look forward to hearing from everyone and learning all the use cases!

@girish I'm not sure how I know this, but I've heard that with seedboxes when someone sets up a Plex Server you have to go to plex.tv/claim and it gives them a code so that the local Plex Server can be associated with that account without having to login first. I don't know if that helps at all, but like I said... it's just something I've heard.

I was excited to see this app in Cloudron as I was planning to install it myself, but when I tried to use web driver it said it couldn't be found. Is there a work around for this? I'm not familiar with the process, but could I upload a docker image to Cloudron and somehow point it to that? If not, then I guess my next options are to either self host or try browserless.io.

Let me know your thoughts...

Sorry to revive an old topic, but Shlink is an amazing URL Shortener with a lot more options than Kutt or YOURLS. I've managed to get it working once some time ago, and I do recall it's a pain. My TrueNAS has both the Shlink CLI and UI as Apps, but they don't work and would really love to see this included in Cloudron. I know it's not the easiest app to install, but it has a ton of great features and reporting. Kutt is nice and quick and does the job, but lacks reporting and tracking.

Sorry to be pestering, but any luck here? Would really love to use this app!

I have this running off my TrueNAS Scale and it works perfectly. I'd really prefer to not have this running there as it's the only app installed that's exposed to the internet (rest are internal apps), so this would be nice to have on Cloudron... and I definitely prefer it over the current selection of analytic solutions.

Just wanted to let everyone know that getting this working in Portainer/docker compose is extremely easy and once I setup NGINX Proxy Manager (outside of Cloudron) it's pretty sweet.

Here's the docker compose script I used:

PGID and PUID are 1000 in my use case. And TZ, for me, is set to America/New_York.

@girish That would be completely and totally awesome as that's really the only thing holding me back from migrating n8n to Cloudron... thanks for taking a look!

Would really, really love this addition.

@girish Oh man, thank you for working on this. I honestly am super stoked about this!

Any progress or additional thoughts on allowing users to install their own npm packages, @girish?

Thanks,
AJ

I've been playing around with their hosted version and it's awesome! Would be a great addition to cloudron!

This is something I would absolutely love to see in Cloudron. I'll give the LAMP stack a go though!

@girish Sorry to awaken an old thread, but just wanted to give another vote for Plausible. I'm trying to have as few servers as possible, with the servers either being specifically for one or two specific apps or something like Cloudron (my Truenas Scale has a ton of apps, Synology NAS, and Ubuntu with Portainer). For business, looking at this, SerpBear, and Odoo. TrueNas has Odoo but for the other two it looks like I can either try Elest.io or spin up yet another server but try out Easy Panel. I've tried CapRover and had mixed experiences, and they also don't have SerpBear.

So, this thread seems to have died and wanted to revive it as it would be great to have vs-code online be a part of Cloudron. For me, I look to Cloudron to be a platform that hosts publicly facing apps, but have the security with Cloudron. This is something that can be easy to install on Home Assistant or my TrueNAS Scale system, but for it to function it's best it needs to be accessible over HTTPS... and that's where the problem comes in. It may not be "privacy focused" but it's one of the most commonly used development tools and it would be nice to have VS Code IDE available anywhere, whether from my desktop or tablet. Having it within Cloudron would be super helpful.

Does Castopod stand a chance of being supported natively in Cloudron? It looks like I'll have to make another virtual machine for YunoHost or a similar platform.

@murgero I appreciate it, but I'd prefer an updated version and it be officially supported/maintained by Cloudron.
