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

📅 2025-01-03 - Initial Repository Analysis
