Cloudron Forum

@banks I'm not an admin or mod so I can't move the messages. Just leave them here and head over to https://forum.cloudron.io/post/1199 which is the start of a topic requesting, upvote the original post and add another message as you have done at the end.

Probably best to ask in the AppWishlist topic for invoiceplane.
If I understand correctly, this community-apps category is more for when it has been packaged and shared.

@neoplex well done ! hurrah !

See https://forum.cloudron.io/post/121990

ALPHA community app release.

• builds and installs and logs in
• playground interview done, PDF export and email sending
• nothing else tested

EDIT : feel free to say what doesn't work
This was done as a 'proof of concept' that it is possible on top of cloudron base image.
It has not been tested beyond basic steps listed.

@loudlemur

for a community custom app ...

You raise an interesting point. Just because it is a community app does not mean it can be any base image. Community apps should be compliant to Cloudron standards. IMHO. If not, you might as well set up a separate VPS and deploy via docker compose, why have the hassle of cloudron compliance.
I do see the other view point, I just don't agree with it.

Rebuilding all of that on top of cloudron/base would have been a multi-week project

I started from scratch using a cloudron base image, none of your code, different direction, at 17:16, took 2 hours out for supper & TV, then returned to the app. 1st working version at 21:08. So roughly 2 hours.

I'm not saying that the app is fully built. But to get a Home Screen loaded is significant. I don't know the app, so not sure what to do next. That might take another couple hours.

Not seeking an argument, I just don't agree that your approach to build from upstream image is correct.

@LoudLemur .... but Cloudron does NOT support Docker Compose, so ...

@loudlemur do I understand correctly that you are not using the Cloudron base image ?
I think this would disqualify it from getting into the AppStore.
But maybe that's not your ambition.

@loudlemur if you conquered the mammoth build process, it would be easy to make it a community app for people to try out easier ?

@LoudLemur said:

On Cloudron the container filesystem is read-only, so we have to copy that venv to the writable /app/data/ partition on first boot.

Understood but it seems a strange way to do it.
My instinct would be to get setup.sh to create the needed venv on first run, not pre-create and copy.
That way, it would survive upgrades.

Maybe there is a technical reason for your approach.

EDIT : My AI friend says my instinct is wrong

@LoudLemur said:

The manifest has "memoryLimit": 6144 which should work

I don't think this is the correct notation, Cloudron overrides it and puts 256Mb

My Dify package sets this for 4Gb
"memoryLimit": 4294967296,
double it for 8Gb ?

@LoudLemur said:

Copy the ~2 GB Python virtual environment to persistent storage

I'm not a python expert, well, actually I'm not any kind of expert, but in the content of a single isolated container, I am not sure that venv is needed.
Maybe without venv it might be a tad quicker ?

Well done for building it

@LoudLemur said:

go to your Cloudron dashboard, find the docassemble app, open its settings, and set the memory limit to at least 8 GB (8192 MiB)

odd, my deploy does set a custom memory limit during publication
how are you expressing the number ?

@luckow phew !

@luckym They should be linked to AppWishlist topics.

I understand your request, but the quickest might be to click the Wishlist topic which (usually) has links to source repo and app info.

Up to the mods, I don't mind.

Re-packaged as a community app :

Cloudron Versions:

@luckow does the community app solve your image download ?

@James, how do we communicate updates available ? Just push new details to CloudronVersions.json and Cloudron platform will pick them up and advise those who installed it ? (no update in this one - just a repackage)

Re-packaged Ocular as a community app
Now v2.2.2.

Great, let me know if anything else is off

Pushed 1.0.3

@luckow can you try an update ?
App dashboard | Updates | Check for updates
I'm not sure an update will be enough, it may need a fresh install.
