Resgrid Cloudron Package Build Notes

This document provides instructions for building, testing, and deploying the Resgrid Cloudron package.

Package Overview

Resgrid is an open-source Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), Personnel, Shift Management, Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), and Emergency Management Platform. This Cloudron package installs Resgrid with the following components:

  • Resgrid Web Core (user interface)
  • Resgrid Web Services (API backend)
  • Resgrid Workers Console (background processing)
  • Resgrid Events Service (real-time notifications using SignalR)

Prerequisites

  • Cloudron server (version 7.2.0 or higher)
  • Docker installed on your build machine
  • Git installed on your build machine
  • About 2GB+ of RAM available on your Cloudron server
  • MySQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ addons available on your Cloudron server

Build Instructions

  1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cloudron-resgrid.git
    cd cloudron-resgrid
    
  2. Download the Resgrid logo and save it as logo.png in the package directory:

    curl -o logo.png https://resgrid.com/images/logo.png
    
  3. Build the Cloudron package:

    cloudron build
    
  4. If successful, the package file will be created in the current directory with a .tar.gz extension.

Deployment Instructions

Method 1: Direct Installation from Package

  1. Install the package on your Cloudron server:

    cloudron install —image resgrid.tar.gz
    
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Method 2: Using the Cloudron App Store (if published)

  1. Log into your Cloudron dashboard
  2. Go to App Store
  3. Search for “Resgrid”
  4. Click “Install”
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions

Post-Installation Configuration

After installation, you should:

  1. Log in with the default admin credentials:

    • Username: admin@example.com
    • Password: (Auto-generated, check Cloudron post-install message)
  2. Change the default admin password

  3. Configure your department settings:

    • Set the department name
    • Configure time zone
    • Set up groups and roles
  4. If using Cloudron SSO (recommended):

    • The app is already configured to use Cloudrons OIDC provider
    • Users who log in via SSO will be created in Resgrid automatically
    • Youll need to assign appropriate roles to these users in the Resgrid admin interface

Troubleshooting

Database Connection Issues

If you encounter database connection issues:

  1. Check the logs via the Cloudron dashboard
  2. Verify the MySQL addon is running
  3. Ensure the database credentials are correctly configured

Redis or RabbitMQ Issues

  1. Check the logs for connection errors
  2. Verify the addons are running
  3. Restart the app if necessary: cloudron restart —app resgrid.yourdomain.com

Container Startup Problems

If one or more containers fail to start:

  1. SSH into the app: cloudron exec —app resgrid.yourdomain.com
  2. Check Docker container status: docker ps -a | grep resgrid
  3. View container logs: docker logs resgrid-web (or replace with the problematic container name)

Backup and Restore

The Cloudron platform automatically backs up all Resgrid data stored in:

  • MySQL database (via the MySQL addon)
  • Redis (via the Redis addon)
  • RabbitMQ (via the RabbitMQ addon)
  • Local files in /app/data (file uploads, configuration, etc.)

To manually create a backup:

cloudron backup create —app resgrid.yourdomain.com

To restore from a backup:

cloudron restore —app resgrid.yourdomain.com —backup backup_id

Updating

When a new version of the Resgrid Cloudron package is available:

  1. Download the new package version
  2. Update your existing installation:
    cloudron update —app resgrid.yourdomain.com —image new-resgrid.tar.gz
