Cloudron Forum

My docker registry app has ballooned in size to 333 Gb.

Docs say garbage collector :
/usr/local/bin/gosu cloudron:cloudron /app/code/registry garbage-collect /app/data/config.yml

But that doesn't seem to clean up.
GPT5.1 says that command is outdated and says it should be :
/app/code/registry garbage-collect --delete-untagged /app/data/config.yml

When I run that 'new' style command, disk usage drops to 14Gb.

I don't know which is right, just going by the results.

Can [@]staff please confirm which is right, and update app docs garbage collector section if needed.

I can’t keep up !
Great to see all the innovation, would be nice to have to get on top of stuff before the next generation comes along 🥴

@3246 nice simple approach, good for end-users.

Limited online so have not checked - have you excluded apps which have licence restrictions, no managed service. Forget which, but there are a few.

Weird
I don’t have any of that.

Right now I can't seem to browse to anywhere and it keeps asking for the UI pw for every zite. Missing plugins.

• Strange
  I have been clicking away randomly without any real issues - just sites that seems to have no new content for 5+ years

• ZeroBlog (on original home page) : no new content since December 31, 2019

• I haven't been asked for the password once after initial login

Changing it removes that magic.

My homepage keeps track of where I visited
Not sure of new blog posts as I haven't joined any yet

It's the lifeblood of the Zeronet experience.

But it is so darned ugly !

Will do some more investigating, but back on trying to make Dify work in Cloudron

The original home page is still available as link from my home page - maybe that will provide the blog post stuff ? Will try to check

released v1.0.76

• 'data' folder was not missing - just mapped directly to (i.e. included in /app/data) - but changed to /app/data/data - "clumsy" but more conventional for zeronet maybe

• Tor enabled in / out

I dislike the conventional 0net approach of hosting a default standard home page from another site - confusing to new users in my view - so I made my own home page which is clearer (but can be fleshed out or adapted further if needed), with links to the standard sites included for conventionality.

Highly recommend a new install in new container for testing (and live use) as many small changes. 1 line install :

curl -fsSL https://customappgateway.appx.uk/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-app "zeronet"

@creative567145 thanks for reporting

I should have clarified moltbot is unfinished
And may never be finished as I am packaging openclaw

Apologies if this caused you wasted time

@robi investigating ....

@robi sorry for confusion
"CCAI" as a whole is not gone
Just the original browser-centric version requiring users to put auth creds in my site (yuk!)

CustomAppGateway lives on, to install CCAI-P and individual apps.
https://customgateway.appx.uk

This will live for a while, definitely for a month after 9.1 is released, maybe as long as 3-6 months after 9.1.

pushed a new version v1.0.63

Test site : 191CazMVNaAcT9Y1zhkxd9ixMBPs59g2um

tweaked : v1.0.64

@IniBudi I didn’t make a video as the process is simple, and Cloudron 9.1 will take over soon.

As @humptydumpty (thank you for stepping in) said, the process is guided.

Some important points :

• CCAI original version is dead : site now directs you to CustomAppGateway which is the new start point
• CustomAppGateway gives you choice of installing individual apps from there, or installing CCAI-P which is maybe more useful if installing multiple custom apps
• for individual installations, CustomAppGateway shows a catalogue, pick an item, popup shows a description and a curl one line installation command. Copy that and paste into your desktop/laptop terminal. It will :
  • prompt for your Cloudron, e.g. my.domain.tld
  • prompt for a token (create this in your Cloudron dashboard | Profile | Tokens
  • prompt for app location, eg myapp.mydomain.tld
  • invoke the installation : note that it will likely complete quickly but your Cloudron needs another couple minutes to install the app
• for multiple custom apps, use CustomAppGateway to install CCAI-P : same process as above.
  • you will then have an app in your Cloudron which can install further apps (displays the same catalog as CustomAppGateway but no more curl download links)
  • store your creds in /app/data
  • pick an app and watch installation proceed
  • wait for completion notice.

Note : your auth creds are now always input in your control (your desktop or your own Cloudron environment), never in a 3rd party site.

Let me know if any other questions

@Elephant
away for <1 week, will on return

@rmdes your docker image is tagged latest, so I don't think any changes needed to listing on CustomAppGateway. But you probably know that. Just advising I haven't changed the listing.

@girish said in Update on community packages:

Depending on how many packages

my CustomAppGateway has ~25 apps, and there are more currently out there not added to it, and with 9.1, I would expect the numbers to double at least.

I have no hesitancy with deferring 'app discovery' in favour of getting the core functionality available and working.

I feel we will need a discovery place of some kind, relying on a forum post in an AppWishList topic might be viable as short and medium term. But catalogue / CUR / "awesome" style git package is likely needed longer term. And it's more polished / prettier

Released v0.0.27 fixing python script issue (reported by @zonzonzon)

@LoudLemur thank you

• the tokens : this kinda reflects the "journey" that CCAI went on. Initially it was browser-only ... and not user's site. I acknowledge users' cautions about this. Hence recommending a short-lived token disposable for use in CCAI open browser

Then we had CCAI-P deployed on your own cloudron, and interacting with your own Cloudron. In this case a multi-use long-life token was OK and so recommended. I think the quote you included in your question is from CCAI-P.

Then CustomAppGateway got rid of browsers completely for initial install and you enter a token into the binary on your local device. So not needed to use single-use short-term token. But hey everyone's paranoid these days so no harm in doing so.

I don't recognise the need for a 3rd token, but it might an academic question, as Cloudron 9.1 will make all this redundant. A much smoother and less problematic security approach, because it's all "on platform"

• RO vs RW : it needs to make changes to your Cloudron, so RW.

• pretty icons : that all comes down to the app being deployed. CCAI-P uses a similar but deliberately different logo to Cloudron.
  Let me know which apps are not rendering a nice icon, and I can look at it.

Funkwhale now on CustomAppGateway, alongside Indiekit

Funkwhale and Indiekit on CustomAppGateway

@girish awesome, thank you so much.
Very smooth and integrated in UI

So, making sure I understand it correctly, for a CustomApp, the packager really just needs to add CloudronVersions.json to their repo (in addition to CloudronManifest.json, Dockerfile etc.) ? Neat !

You said in a separate post you would defer the question of a catalogue of custom apps : is that still the thinking ?

TBH, with your neat approach, I am questioning whether a catalogue is needed. Every custom app (well, 99.999%) has a topic in the forum's AppWishlist category, and the packager can just post a message there with the repo details, including the relevant CloudronVersions.json file.
