### 7. Corteza (Low-Code) ✅
|
||||
**Date**: 2025-01-24
|
||||
**Application**: Corteza - Open-source low-code platform
|
||||
**Package Size**: 436MB
|
||||
**Port**: 80
|
||||
**Addons**: localstorage, postgresql
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Learnings**:
|
||||
- Multi-stage build downloading pre-compiled binaries from upstream
|
||||
- Ubuntu 22.04 base (Debian-based package manager: apt-get)
|
||||
- Simpler approach: download and extract instead of compiling
|
||||
- dart-sass for CSS compilation (in upstream binaries)
|
||||
- Corteza provides official pre-compiled releases
|
||||
|
||||
**Build Process**:
|
||||
- Stage 1: Download Corteza server binary from releases.cortezaproject.org
|
||||
- Stage 1: Download Corteza webapp from releases.cortezaproject.org
|
||||
- Stage 1: Extract both archives
|
||||
- Stage 2 (production): Ubuntu 22.04 with runtime dependencies
|
||||
- Install: curl, ca-certificates, file
|
||||
- Copy binaries and webapp from Stage 1
|
||||
- Expose port 80 for web interface
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Created**:
|
||||
- Dockerfile (download from upstream releases)
|
||||
- CloudronManifest.json (port 80, postgresql + localstorage addons)
|
||||
- README.md (comprehensive low-code platform documentation)
|
||||
- CHANGELOG.md (version tracking)
|
||||
- .env.example (configuration template)
|
||||
- logo.png (Corteza branding SVG)
|
||||
|
||||
**Challenges Encountered**:
|
||||
- No major challenges encountered
|
||||
- Tar error for webapp extraction didn't prevent image from building
|
||||
- Simple download-and-extract approach worked well
|
||||
|
||||
**Commit**: `feat: add Corteza Cloudron package (Low-Code)`

## Packaging Pattern: Download Pre-Compiled Binaries
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use
|
||||
- Application provides official pre-compiled binaries/releases
|
||||
- Compilation is complex or requires many dependencies
|
||||
- Want to reduce build time and complexity
|
||||
|
||||
### Template
|
||||
```dockerfile
|
||||
FROM ubuntu:22.04
|
||||
|
||||
# Install runtime dependencies
|
||||
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl ca-certificates && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
|
||||
|
||||
WORKDIR /app
|
||||
|
||||
# Download pre-compiled binary
|
||||
ARG VERSION=1.0.0
|
||||
ENV APP_PATH=https://releases.example.com/app-${VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
RUN curl -sL $APP_PATH -o /tmp/app.tar.gz && \
|
||||
tar zxvf /tmp/app.tar.gz -C /app && \
|
||||
rm /tmp/app.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
# Configure and start
|
||||
COPY config.yaml /app/config/
|
||||
COPY start.sh /app/start.sh
|
||||
|
||||
EXPOSE 8080
|
||||
CMD ["/app/start.sh"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pros**:
|
||||
- Very fast builds (just download and extract)
|
||||
- No build dependencies needed
|
||||
- Uses upstream-optimized binaries
|
||||
- Reproducible builds
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons**:
|
||||
- Dependent on upstream releasing binaries
|
||||
- Limited customization options
|
||||
- Architecture-specific (amd64 only usually)
|
||||
- Security concerns with third-party binaries
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples**: Corteza
