@girish exactly! Like the docker UI does for export environment variables

@atrilahiji and @mehdi thanks for the suggestions. In my custom version there's S3, SITE_NAME and SITE_DESCRIPTION (that I remember) other things can be either generated or got from cloudron I think, but more variables can come along down the road.

I think the combination of a smart start.sh and a file in /app/data may be a solution though. I'll try that.

I would still like to leave the suggestion of either having an input for docker run extra arguments or allowing via the CloudronManifest to set variables that would then be filled in the app settings. The latter would be incredibly awesome and make things a lot easier!

Again: thank you so much for the help!

@atrilahiji I was planning to submit to the App store, it would be an awesome addition (not my piece of software, btw)

@atrilahiji

But how do you distribute an App via Cloudron app store (or a similar easy process) using that approach?

won't the user have to get the code, modify start.sh, rebuild, upload, etc...?

@atrilahiji I could, but I want to create an image anyone can use, so the values cannot be inside the image

Hi!

I created a custom app for Outline (https://github.com/tokilabs/outline) and had some issues getting it to run.

The app uses an environment variables config file .env that should live outside the image and be passed to the container at start via --env-file argument like this:

docker run --env-file=.env outlinewiki/outline

I found no way of configuring Cloudron to do that. Is it possible or should I open a feature request?

Btw, if anyone wants to try it, the app is working and published here. Instructions to complete the install are provided via POSTINSTALL.

I found another way to make it work by manually setting each variable using the cloudron cli and automated the process via an sh script. But it was a big hassle and duplicated variable management

Hi, all!

I have a cloudron installation I forgot for quite some time. Now the certificate has expired months ago and I can't access the web interface. I couldn't find any guidance on how to renew the certificate via command line. Cloudron won't let me run the setup again and using certbot to manually renew proved very complicated due to Cloudron's custom cert storage scheme.

How can I fix that?
