@loudlemur @micmc Hello, galacteek author here. Recently learned about Cloudron, nice project !
The docker image for galacteek is about 1Gb and that's a bit much, trying to find ways to reduce that to a minimum. If you have ideas on how to improve the docker image i'm quite interested, i'm not sure the x11vnc thing is ideal but it's worked better for me than the trick with the X11 socket.
@LoudLemur Managed to get the Docker image down to ~820Mb, based on python:3.7-slim. It can be reduced even more but not that much, i'm surprised by the space the xorg packages take on a debian ...
@LoudLemur Sorry bit of a late reply .. No, go-ipfs really doesn't take much disk space that's not a problem. ipfs-lite only provides the strict minimum (great project), but galacteek needs and uses the whole ipfs stack, things like streams and pubsub.
A flatpak repository is now available. I'll integrate tim's work in the main repo but i can't test it (don't have cloudron).
@timconsidine hope you're ok, thanks again for the work you did on this
@girish Thank you ! Cool, 2011 talk, i'll watch it.
Yeah i think writing dapps in QML has some potential (or it could be a complete dead-end :D), i wrote the necessary interfaces so that from the QML code you can use IPFS functions like pubsub, to broadcast messages efficiently to all the peers. Also it integrates with QtWebEngine so you can load a JS-based ipfs page from your dapp ..
Most people working with ipfs write dapps in NodeJS, it's the classic approach. Ideally we could mix both ... but QML won't let you do async so i write the complex code in python and call that from the QML side.
Some documentation on how to use SparQL and IPFS from a QML dapp
New shapshots and docker image. Now when you search for things on the dweb it's automatically cached as RDF so it's way faster to lookup things later on even being offline.
There's also a bash script now to run the latest AppImage snapshot automatically:
curl -L https://galacteek.gitlab.io/galacteek-snapshot-install.sh | bash
@LoudLemur I've read the packaging tutorial, i can write and publish the CloudronManifest.json file in the galacteek repo if that helps. It seems that the docker image url/ref is not specified in the manifest but rather that you need to pass it when you run "cloudron install --image ..." ?
@LoudLemur @timconsidine adapted the Dockerfile for Cloudron, i hope we can fix the remaining issues.
