Cloudron Forum

Ok, thanks! Then we've to implement the whole deploy process inside the container (lamp app) and leave the host untouched. Wish you a nice weekend ️

Hello Cloudron-Community,

I'm new to cloudron an therefore I may excuse for a maybe stupid question upfront.

Is it OK to install packages, for example

apt install git

on the cloudron host or is it recommended not to install any other packages beside cloudron on the host.

I wonder because my shell is telling me

"Please do not run apt upgrade manually as it will update packages that
Cloudron relies on and may break your installation. Ubuntu security updates
are automatically installed on this server every night."

and I couldn't find any information or best practices regarding "install software on cloudron host (and how to maintain them)".

Befor you ask why: I'd like to run "git pull" on the host within a LAMP-App (/home/yellowtent/appsdata/container-uuid/data/public/) an not via the app-terminal where git is available. Or do I oversee something and there are "better" solutions for this specific scenario/request?

Thanks for your help
Mario
