Cloudron Forum

Hello,

I have Directus 9.22.1 (io.directus9.cloudronapp@1.24.0) installed on Cloudron 7.3.4 with automatic updates enabled.

Updates have not run when scheduled for several days. When I attempt to update Directus manually it displays the error:

Cloudron Error
Manifest error:Invalid run time dir

The logs show:

Jan 14 08:56:47 box:apps downloading manifest from https://api.cloudron.io/api/v1/apps/io.directus9.cloudronapp/versions/1.24.1
POST /api/v1/apps/afb857c9-b118-47ed-aa28-39654dfbecfe/update 400 Bad Request Manifest error:Invalid run time dir 324.735 ms - 81

There are two other instances of Directus (io.directus9.cloudronapp@1.24.0) running on the same Cloudron that show the same error when attempting to update manually.

Thanks in advance

• Title: Instatic on Cloudron - Visual website builder/CMS with clean static output

---

• Main Page: https://instatic.com/
• Git: https://github.com/CoreBunch/Instatic
• Licence: MIT
• Dockerfile: Yes
• Demo:

---

• Summary: Instatic is a modern, open-source, self-hosted visual CMS and website builder. It combines a visual canvas editor, structured content management, media, authentication, forms, plugins, AI-assisted editing, and static publishing within a single Bun server.
• Unlike many visual website builders, Instatic publishes plain semantic HTML and compact CSS without including the editor runtime, builder-specific attributes, or unnecessary framework code on the public website. It supports SQLite for simpler installations and PostgreSQL for larger or multi-author deployments.

---

• Notes: Instatic looks like a promising self-hosted alternative to hosted visual builders such as Webflow and Framer, as well as WordPress page-builder stacks. I especially like its focus on clean, portable HTML output, full ownership of the website and data, built-in forms and media management, and the option to use AI models through your own provider credentials.
• The project already provides a production Dockerfile, Docker Compose configurations, a published GHCR image, health-check support, and documented persistent-storage requirements, which should make it a reasonable candidate for Cloudron packaging.
• The main concern is that Instatic is still a very new, pre-1.0 project. Breaking changes may occur between minor or patch releases, so the Cloudron package may initially require careful version pinning and upgrade testing. The currently documented v0.0.11 container image is also limited to linux/amd64; ARM64 installations currently need to build from source.

• Alternative to: Webflow, Framer, Webstudio, WordPress page builders, and other visual CMS platforms.
