Finally managed to install a custom app via Cloudron by following the tutorial documentation, and without installing Docker.
1. Install the Cloudron CLI locally
sudo npm install -g cloudron
cloudron login my.example.com
2. Setup build tools
One-click install the Docker Registry App (replace alfa.bravo below with this app domain) and Build Service App (replace charlie.delta below with this app domain) via your Cloudron App Store. Configure the latter’s credentials in /app/data/docker.json via the File Manager
{
"alfa.bravo": {
"username": "CLOUDRON_USERNAME",
"password": "CLOUDRON_PASSWORD"
}
}
and restart the app.
3. Install the pre-packaged custom app
Replace the simple tutorial app with yours:
git clone https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/tutorial-nodejs-app
cd tutorial-nodejs-app
cloudron build --set-build-service https://charlie.delta --set-repository alfa.bravo/echo/foxtrot --tag golf
cloudron install --image alfa.bravo/echo/foxtrot:golf
If you want to update, run cloudron build again, then call cloudron update like so:
cloudron build --set-build-service https://charlie.delta --set-repository alfa.bravo/echo/foxtrot --tag golf
cloudron update --image alfa.bravo/echo/foxtrot:golf
