Cloudron Forum

@humptydumpty said in Publish an Official App Packaging Roadmap:

As for app packaging, if I’m not mistaken, Cloudron staff take over and handle any future updates if it’s added to the App Store. I don’t expect every niche app will get adopted but the highly voted/starred apps that fill a gap in CR’s ecosystem will have a higher chance.

CR could enhance/simply how custom repos/apps are added. Some of the regulars on here have shared their own packaged apps, but the process isn’t clear to me yet. That’s something worth looking into though. Sigh, too much to do and not enough time!

That's the main difference to platforms like Yunohost, where you have a ton of user packaged apps.... - that don't work, break, become unmaintained etc.

Final solution: Ventoy + Clonezilla + Anker USB Hub = Tested server restore from USB image!

Future solution(s): Terraform (cattle ranching sounds like fun), NetBoot.xyz, Clonezilla with restore images stored on Amazon S3.

Thanks to everyone for helping me solve this one!

@nebulon Thanks to you and @girish for explaining this.

@girish Thank you for exploring this. The more apps we can connect to Cloudron OIDC the better!

@girish Thanks for the complete and thorough explanation. I guess I was fooled by the apt update I saw in one of your docker image definitions (thinking that others would be following your best practice). If you are comfortable with the risk/reward balance then I am comfortable:)

@andreasdueren Good question. I don't know the answer. Is there something similar for Argon2id parameters?

@crazybrad said in Practical limit of installed apps:

Another email marketing platform I discovered is Keila

That is actually a simple email newsletter platform, and afaics there's no automation, not even an autoresponder function, yet, I guess. Looks interesting though. And it installs with Docker so it should be ready to be packaged for Cloudron, however it's very basic. Not even comparable with ListMonk already...

@girish Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like I will need to pursue this idea on an app by app basis, rather than signing on as a Cloudron user. If I am successful, I will share the results so that others can benefit as well.

@bmann Yeah, in that case, I'd say just use a provider that allows you to buy extra storage inexpensively and mount it as a volume. BuyVM is the one that comes to mind honestly.

You can also use CIFS or NFS, but I don't know how well I'd trust them as primary storage for an app.

Also, as said, some apps support external S3 (although that limits your capability to fully encapsulate your backups).

@crazybrad said in Advice on Cloudron Mail Server Config and Sizing:

@BrutalBirdie Great point. In fact I am wondering whether outgoing SMTP can be disabled and a transactional email service such as Postmark be configured for outgoing emails. This way the IP address does not get a bad reputation (or any reputation). Is this possible with Cloudron mail?

yes
