### 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
