Create complete project documentation suite for 56-application Cloudron packaging initiative:

New Documentation Files:
- README.md: Comprehensive project overview with quick start guide
- PLAN.md: Strategic roadmap for packaging across 2025 with 4-phase approach
- TASKS.md: Detailed task list with 56 applications prioritized in 4 tiers
- WORKLOG.md: Progress tracking with daily logs and development insights
- GIT_WORKFLOW.md: Complete branching strategy and commit standards

Enhanced Existing Documentation:
- CloudronPackages/README.md: Enhanced package directory with usage instructions
- CloudronPackagingWorkspace/README.md: Comprehensive workspace development guide

Key Features:
- Established feature → integration → master git workflow
- Containerized development environment with tsys-cloudron-packaging
- 4-tier priority system focusing on business-critical applications first
- Quality standards and testing procedures for all packages
- Team coordination tools for parallel development

This foundation supports systematic packaging of all 56 applications with proper
quality control, progress tracking, and team scalability.

# KNEL Production Containers - Cloudron Packaging Repository
This repository contains the infrastructure and tooling for packaging applications for [Cloudron](https://cloudron.io), KNEL's self-hosted application platform. We're systematically packaging ~100 applications for internal deployment and potential contribution to the Cloudron app store.
## 🏗️ Repository Structure

```
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Docker (for containerized packaging)
- Cloudron CLI: `npm install -g cloudron`
- Git access to upstream repositories
### Setup Development Environment
```bash
# Clone this repository
git clone [repository-url]
cd KNELProductionContainers
# Set up packaging container (persistent across sessions)
docker run -d --name tsys-cloudron-packaging \
-v $(pwd):/workspace \
-w /workspace \
python:3.11-slim tail -f /dev/null
# Install tools in container
docker exec tsys-cloudron-packaging sh -c "
apt-get update && apt-get install -y git curl build-essential nodejs npm
"
# Clone upstream application sources
chmod +x CloudronPackagingWorkspace/*.sh
./CloudronPackagingWorkspace/UpstreamVendor-Clone.sh
```
## 📋 Packaging Workflow
### 1. Choose Application
- Check `TASKS.md` for priority applications
- Verify upstream source is available in `CloudronPackagingWorkspace/Docker/`
### 2. Create Feature Branch
```bash
git checkout -b feature/package-[appname]
```
### 3. Package Development
```bash
# Work in the persistent container
docker exec -it tsys-cloudron-packaging bash
# Create package structure
cd /workspace
mkdir -p [appname]_package_new
cd [appname]_package_new
# Create required files:
# - CloudronManifest.json
# - Dockerfile
# - start.sh
# - [config files]
```
### 4. Build and Test
```bash
# Build container
docker build -t registry/[appname]:version .
# Test locally if possible
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 registry/[appname]:version
# Deploy to test Cloudron instance
cloudron install --image registry/[appname]:version
```
### 5. Finalize Package
```bash
# Move to final location
mv /workspace/[appname]_package_new ./CloudronPackages/[AppName]/
# Update documentation
# - Add entry to TASKS.md
# - Update WORKLOG.md
# - Document any special requirements
```
### 6. Create Pull Request
```bash
git add CloudronPackages/[AppName]/
git add TASKS.md WORKLOG.md
git commit -m "Add [AppName] Cloudron package"
git push origin feature/package-[appname]
# Create PR to integration branch
```
## 🏷️ Git Workflow
### Branch Strategy
- **`master`**: Stable, production-ready packages
- **`integration`**: Integration branch for testing multiple packages
- **`feature/package-[appname]`**: Individual application packaging
- **`hotfix/[appname]-[issue]`**: Critical fixes
### Commit Convention
```
type(scope): description
feat(apache): add Apache HTTP Server package
fix(nginx): resolve configuration template issue
docs: update packaging workflow documentation
chore: update upstream source repositories
```
## 🛠️ Package Components
Each Cloudron package requires:
### Required Files
- **`CloudronManifest.json`**: App metadata, resources, addons
- **`Dockerfile`**: Container build instructions
- **`start.sh`**: Application startup script
- **`[AppName]-BuildNotes.md`**: Build and deployment instructions
### Optional Files
- **`nginx.conf`**: Web server configuration
- **`supervisord.conf`**: Process management
- **`config.yaml`**: Application configuration template
- **`logo.png`**: Application icon
### Key Requirements
- Use `cloudron/base:4.2.0` base image
- Follow `/app/code` (read-only) and `/app/data` (persistent) structure
- Integrate with Cloudron addons via environment variables
- Implement proper health checks and logging
- Security: no hardcoded secrets, proper permissions
## 🔧 Tools and Resources
### Development Container
- **Name**: `tsys-cloudron-packaging`
- **Purpose**: Isolated development environment for all packaging work
- **Mounted**: Repository at `/workspace`
- **Persistent**: Survives across development sessions
### Helper Scripts

- **Daily Progress**: See `WORKLOG.md`
- **Strategy & Roadmap**: See `PLAN.md`
### Current Status
- ✅ Repository structure established
- ✅ Development workflow documented
- ✅ Packaging container ready
- ✅ Template and examples available
- 🚧 Individual application packaging in progress
## 🤝 Contributing
### For KNEL Team Members
