Cloudron Forum

put one together https://github.com/c0decafe/cloudron-codeserver

Yes, I updated the package with (un)license, impermanent home dir and a few other tweaks.

As for language support, I can't think of any clean implementation within the current scope.

As a matter of fact, my primary use case for this package is, counterintuitively, not development, but rather a power editor with extensions, ie: markdown editor with git integration, dendron, etc..

The only way to make it scale for actual software dev within the scope of a cloudron app would be leveraging (abusing?) the docker addon.

The best candidate is coder, from the same team that maintains code-server: https://github.com/coder/coder

You can find a poc at https://github.com/c0decafe/cloudron-coder, but actually starting containers doesn't work yet.

Upstream VSCode also has a nifty devcontainers extension to do just that:

• https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers
• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers

It is however unfortunately not supported on web platforms right now:

Another alternative currently available on cloudron is the GitLab webide, but:

1. No extensions support (yet)
   https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/355092
2. No run/debug support (yet)
3. Requires manually installed remote runtimes
   https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/remote_development/

This is the original reference:

• https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-ai/issues/19#issuecomment-1609352822

Basically the AI plugin will only be available on postgresql.

Furthermore, others plugins are dropping mysql support accordingly, ie:

• https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-msteams/pull/482

I don't think anyone expects a smooth migration of their existing instance but it would great if we can get a supported postgresql package.

@girish I dropped the idea of using docker for the code-server package, latest push removed the docker dependencies.

I'll add README when I get the chance.

Remote docker should work for coder however, also supports all major public clouds, but that's for another thread I suppose.

@nebulon thank you! it is working as expected from my end.

Hello,

from https://mattermost.com/blog/file-search/

For Mattermost Self-Managed workspaces, search results will return files with matching contents for .pdf, .pptx, .odt, .html, and plain text documents. System Admins can install these dependencies in order to enable searching contents of .docx, .rtf, and .pages files.

The dependencies are:

1. tidy
2. wv
3. popplerutils
4. nrtf
5. justext

Any chance we can have them included in the app?

Should i submit a merge request?
