# KNEL Cloudron Packaging Work Log
## 📅 2025-01-04 - Foundation & Documentation Day
### 🏗️ Repository Setup and Organization
**Time Investment**: ~4 hours
#### Achievements
-**Repository Structure Analysis**: Analyzed existing structure, confirmed workspace approach is optimal
-**Enhanced .gitignore**: Added patterns for temporary packaging directories and OS files
-**Container Environment**: Established persistent `tsys-cloudron-packaging` container for all development
-**Comprehensive Documentation**: Created complete project documentation suite
#### Files Created/Updated
- 📝 **README.md**: Comprehensive repository documentation with quick start guide
- 📋 **PLAN.md**: Strategic roadmap for packaging 56 applications across 2025
- 📊 **TASKS.md**: Detailed task list with 56 applications categorized by priority
- 📖 **WORKLOG.md**: This progress tracking document
- 🔧 **.gitignore**: Enhanced with packaging workflow patterns
#### Technical Decisions Made
1. **Git Workflow**: Implemented feature branch strategy (`feature/package-[appname]``integration``master`)
2. **Development Environment**: All packaging work containerized for consistency
3. **Application Prioritization**: 4-tier priority system based on business criticality
4. **Documentation Standards**: Comprehensive build notes required for each package
#### Progress on Applications
- 🚧 **InvenTree**: Package structure created in container (70% complete)
- CloudronManifest.json ✅
- Dockerfile ✅
- start.sh ✅
- Configuration files ✅
- **Next**: Testing and finalization
- 🚧 **APISIX**: Package development started (20% complete)
- Research completed ✅
- CloudronManifest.json ✅
- **Next**: Dockerfile and configuration
### 🔍 Insights & Lessons Learned
1. **Container Approach**: Working in containerized environment eliminates host differences
2. **Workspace Pattern**: Gitignored upstream sources keep repository clean while preserving access
3. **Documentation First**: Establishing clear documentation before scaling prevents confusion
4. **Priority Categorization**: Business-critical applications should be packaged first
### 🎯 Next Session Goals
1. Complete InvenTree package and test deployment
2. Finish APISIX packaging
3. Start Jenkins package (Tier 1 priority)
4. Set up integration branch workflow
