### Cloudron Packaging Patterns
|
||||||
|
#### Pattern 1: Official Image Wrapper
|
||||||
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
|
FROM official/app:version
|
||||||
|
COPY start.sh /app/start.sh
|
||||||
|
CMD ["/app/start.sh"]
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
TSYSDevStack/
|
**Use Cases**: APISIX, Healthchecks, Review Board
|
||||||
└── Platform/
|
**Pros**: Fast builds, upstream maintenance
|
||||||
└── Cloudron/
|
**Cons**: Limited customization, may include unnecessary dependencies
|
||||||
├── README.md # Comprehensive project documentation
|
|
||||||
├── GitUrlList.txt # Master list of upstream repositories
|
#### Pattern 2: Multi-Stage Build
|
||||||
├── clone-repos.sh # Automated repository cloning script
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
├── AGENTS.md # This file - AI agent context
|
# Build stage
|
||||||
├── .gitignore # Git ignore rules
|
FROM base:builder AS build
|
||||||
├── Package-Artifacts/ # Completed Cloudron packages
|
RUN install-deps && build-app
|
||||||
└── Package-Workspace/ # Working directory organized by function
|
|
||||||
├── API-Gateway/ # 2 apps
|
# Production stage
|
||||||
├── Automation/ # 4 apps
|
FROM base:runtime
|
||||||
├── Business-Apps/ # 9 apps
|
COPY --from=build /app/dist /app
|
||||||
├── Collaboration/ # 2 apps
|
CMD ["run-app"]
|
||||||
├── Communication/ # 2 apps
|
```
|
||||||
├── Data-Management/ # 2 apps
|
**Use Cases**: Webhook (Go), Puter (Node.js)
|
||||||
├── Development/ # 4 apps
|
**Pros**: Smaller final image, more control
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
├── Financial-Payments/ # 1 app
|
#### Pattern 3: Python Application
|
||||||
├── Financial-Trading/ # 1 app
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
├── Infrastructure/ # 6 apps
|
FROM python:3-slim
|
||||||
├── Legal/ # 1 app
|
RUN apt-get install -y system-deps
|
||||||
├── Low-Code/ # 3 apps
|
COPY requirements.txt .
|
||||||
├── Monitoring/ # 6 apps
|
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||||||
├── Project-Management/ # 1 app
|
COPY . .
|
||||||
├── Scientific-Computing/ # 2 apps
|
CMD ["python", "app.py"]
|
||||||
├── Security/ # 5 apps
|
```
|
||||||
└── System-Administration/ # 3 apps
|
**Use Cases**: WireViz Web
|
||||||
|
**Pros**: Standard Python environment, easy dependency management
|
||||||
|
**Cons**: System dependencies may vary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Pattern 4: Django Application
|
||||||
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
|
FROM django-image:version
|
||||||
|
COPY start.sh /app/start.sh
|
||||||
|
CMD ["/app/start.sh"]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
**start.sh Pattern**:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Wait for database
|
||||||
|
until psql -h "$DB_HOST" -c '\q'; do
|
||||||
|
sleep 2
|
||||||
|
done
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Run migrations
|
||||||
|
python manage.py migrate --noinput
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Collect static files
|
||||||
|
python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Start application
|
||||||
|
gunicorn config.wsgi:application
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases**: Healthchecks, Review Board
|
||||||
|
**Key Points**:
|
||||||
|
- Wait for database before migrations
|
||||||
|
- Run collectstatic
|
||||||
|
- Use gunicorn/uwsgi for production
|
||||||
|
- Configure PostgreSQL addon
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Common Challenges & Solutions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Challenge 1: Permission Denied with chmod
|
||||||
|
**Error**: `chmod: changing permissions: Operation not permitted`
|
||||||
|
**Solution**: Make scripts executable on host before COPY
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
chmod +x start.sh # On host
|
||||||
|
# In Dockerfile
|
||||||
|
COPY start.sh /app/start.sh # No RUN chmod
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Key Decisions & Rationale
|
#### Challenge 2: Package Manager Not Found
|
||||||
|
**Error**: `/bin/bash: apk: command not found`
|
||||||
|
**Solution**: Use correct package manager for base image
|
||||||
|
- Alpine: `apk add`
|
||||||
|
- Debian/Ubuntu: `apt-get install`
|
||||||
|
- Check base image documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 1. Organization Strategy
|
#### Challenge 3: npm Build Failures
|
||||||
**Decision**: Organize applications by function rather than programming language.
|
**Error**: `npm error workspace not found`
|
||||||
|
**Solution**: Use npm install instead of npm ci for Cloudron
|
||||||
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
|
RUN npm install --production=false --no-optional
|
||||||
|
# Not: RUN npm ci
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Rationale**:
|
#### Challenge 4: Large Image Sizes
|
||||||
- Founder explicitly requested functional organization over language-based organization
|
**Causes**: Including build dependencies, copying entire source
|
||||||
- More intuitive for developers working on Cloudron packaging
|
**Solutions**:
|
||||||
- Aligns with how users will discover and deploy applications
|
- Use multi-stage builds
|
||||||
- Facilitates better documentation and user experience
|
- Copy only necessary artifacts (dist, node_modules for runtime)
|
||||||
|
- Use .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files
|
||||||
|
- Prefer official images (already optimized)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Implementation**: 20 functional categories created based on application purpose and use cases.
|
#### Challenge 5: .dockerignore Interference
|
||||||
|
**Problem**: Repository's .dockerignore affects Cloudron build
|
||||||
|
**Solution**: Create custom .dockerignore in package directory
|
||||||
|
```dockerignore
|
||||||
|
# Cloudron package .dockerignore
|
||||||
|
.git
|
||||||
|
.gitignore
|
||||||
|
README.md
|
||||||
|
CHANGELOG.md
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 2. Repository Management
|
### Cloudron Best Practices
|
||||||
**Decision**: Clone all upstream repositories into `Package-Workspace` but exclude from git.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Rationale**:
|
1. **Always use Cloudron base** when building from scratch
|
||||||
- Avoid polluting the project repository with large upstream codebases
|
2. **Prefer official images** over custom builds
|
||||||
- Enable offline development and packaging work
|
3. **Define all ports** in CloudronManifest.json
|
||||||
- Maintain clean separation between packaging code and upstream source
|
4. **Use appropriate addons** (postgresql, mysql, etcd, localstorage)
|
||||||
- Provide reproducible development environment
|
5. **Set memory limits** based on application needs
|
||||||
|
6. **Implement health checks** for all services
|
||||||
|
7. **Use environment variable defaults**: `${VAR:-default}`
|
||||||
|
8. **Wait for dependencies** (database, services) before starting
|
||||||
|
9. **Make scripts executable on host** to avoid permission errors
|
||||||
|
10. **Document all environment variables** in .env.example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Implementation**:
|
### Addons Reference
|
||||||
- `.gitignore` excludes `Package-Workspace/**/repo/`
|
|
||||||
- `clone-repos.sh` script enables other developers to replicate workspace
|
|
||||||
- Each app has its own directory with `repo/` subdirectory
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 3. Documentation Strategy
|
#### PostgreSQL
|
||||||
**Decision**: Create comprehensive README.md with application inventory table.
|
```json
|
||||||
|
"addons": {
|
||||||
|
"postgresql": {
|
||||||
|
"version": "14"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
**Environment Variables**:
|
||||||
|
- `CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_HOST`
|
||||||
|
- `CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PORT`
|
||||||
|
- `CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE`
|
||||||
|
- `CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME`
|
||||||
|
- `CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Rationale**:
|
#### etcd
|
||||||
- Single source of truth for project status and application catalog
|
```json
|
||||||
- Beautiful, clickable table with links to vendor websites and repositories
|
"addons": {
|
||||||
- Scalable approach for adding new applications
|
"etcd": {
|
||||||
- Professional presentation for stakeholders
|
"version": "3.4"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
**Environment Variables**:
|
||||||
|
- `CLOUDRON_ETCD_HOST`
|
||||||
|
- `CLOUDRON_ETCD_PORT`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Implementation**:
|
#### Localstorage
|
||||||
- Markdown table with Application Name (linked to vendor site), Repository (linked to git), Description, and Functional Category
|
```json
|
||||||
- Project statistics and overview sections
|
"addons": {
|
||||||
- Development workflow documentation
|
"localstorage": true
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
**Mount Point**: `/app/data`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 4. Automation Approach
|
## Documentation
|
||||||
**Decision**: Create automated cloning script with error handling and categorization.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Rationale**:
|
### JOURNAL.md
|
||||||
- Enable other developers to quickly set up development environment
|
**Location**: `/home/tsys/Projects/TDS/TSYSDevStack-SupportStack-Cloudron/JOURNAL.md`
|
||||||
- Reduce manual setup time and potential errors
|
**Purpose**: Detailed packaging journal with learnings, patterns, and challenges
|
||||||
- Provide consistent workspace structure
|
**Contents**:
|
||||||
- Handle edge cases and provide helpful error messages
|
- Project overview and statistics
|
||||||
|
- Completed packages with detailed analysis
|
||||||
|
- Packaging patterns established
|
||||||
|
- Common challenges & solutions
|
||||||
|
- Cloudron-specific considerations
|
||||||
|
- Productivity insights
|
||||||
|
- Lessons learned summary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Implementation**:
|
**Usage**:
|
||||||
- `clone-repos.sh` with colored output, timeout handling, and automatic categorization
|
- Read JOURNAL.md for detailed insights on each package
|
||||||
- Functional category mapping based on application names
|
- Reference established patterns when creating new packages
|
||||||
- Progress reporting and summary statistics
|
- Learn from challenges and solutions documented
|
||||||
|
- Use as knowledge base for future packaging work
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Technical Requirements
|
### GIT URL LIST
|
||||||
|
**Location**: `/home/tsys/Projects/TDS/TSYSDevStack-SupportStack-Cloudron/GitUrlList.txt`
|
||||||
|
**Purpose**: List of all 58 applications with GitHub URLs
|
||||||
|
**Usage**:
|
||||||
|
- Reference for accessing application repositories
|
||||||
|
- Check application details and documentation
|
||||||
|
- Clone repositories as needed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Cloudron Packaging Standards
|
## Conventional Commits
|
||||||
- Each application requires `Dockerfile` and `CloudronManifest.json`
|
|
||||||
- Follow Cloudron packaging tutorial and best practices
|
|
||||||
- Use appropriate addons (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, etc.)
|
|
||||||
- Ensure proper security and configuration management
|
|
||||||
- Test with `cloudron build` and `cloudron install`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Quality Assurance
|
### Commit Message Format
|
||||||
- All work must be QA'd early and often
|
```
|
||||||
- Use Docker security scanning tools (hadolint, trivy, dockle, dive, syft)
|
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
|
||||||
- Perform at least 5 validation checks per component
|
|
||||||
- Treat warnings as errors and resolve all issues
|
|
||||||
- No unit/end-to-end test suite means work is not complete
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Git Standards
|
<body>
|
||||||
- Use atomic commits with conventional commit standards
|
|
||||||
- Make verbose and beautiful commit messages
|
|
||||||
- Commit early and often
|
|
||||||
- Use gh/tea commands for pull requests and releases
|
|
||||||
- Commit history should serve as a comprehensive project journal
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Container Standards
|
<footer>
|
||||||
- Use Docker containers for all work (no host pollution)
|
```
|
||||||
- Only use docker and git commands on host
|
|
||||||
- Use curl for health checks
|
|
||||||
- Do not install tooling/packages/runtimes on host
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Working Patterns
|
### Types
|
||||||
|
- `feat`: New feature (new package, new functionality)
|
||||||
|
- `fix`: Bug fix
|
||||||
|
- `docs`: Documentation changes
|
||||||
|
- `refactor`: Code refactoring
|
||||||
|
- `style`: Code style changes (formatting, etc.)
|
||||||
|
- `test`: Adding or updating tests
|
||||||
|
- `chore`: Maintenance tasks
|
||||||
|
- `perf`: Performance improvements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Multi-Component Development
|
### Examples
|
||||||
- Chats start at project root or component root level
|
- `feat: add webhook Cloudron package (API-Gateway)`
|
||||||
- Only orient from invoked location down
|
- `docs: update README.md with usage examples`
|
||||||
- Do not consider sibling directories
|
- `fix: resolve permission denied error in Dockerfile`
|
||||||
- Confine work to directory (and below) where invoked
|
- `refactor: simplify start.sh script`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Communication Style
|
### Current Practice
|
||||||
- Brief, professional, direct communication
|
- Using `feat:` for all new packages
|
||||||
- Avoid unnecessary fluff or excessive politeness
|
- Including category in scope: `feat: add <app> Cloudron package (<category>)`
|
||||||
- Focus on task completion and technical accuracy
|
- Detailed body with package information
|
||||||
- Keep responses concise (fewer than 4 lines unless detail requested)
|
- Footer with generated message and agent attribution
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Documentation Maintenance
|
## Communication
|
||||||
- Update both AI-readable (AGENTS.md) and human-readable (JOURNAL.md) journals during each interaction
|
|
||||||
- Maintain running log of work done, remaining tasks, and important notes
|
|
||||||
- Keep documentation in sync with code artifacts

## Packaging Patterns Established
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Official Image Wrapper Pattern
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases**: When application provides official Docker image
|
||||||
|
**Template**:
|
||||||
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
|
FROM official/app:version
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Copy startup script
|
||||||
|
COPY start.sh /app/start.sh
|
||||||
|
RUN chmod +x /app/start.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CMD ["/app/start.sh"]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Examples**: APISIX, Healthchecks, Review Board
|
||||||
|
**Pros**:
|
||||||
|
- Faster builds (no compilation needed)
|
||||||
|
- Less maintenance (upstream handles updates)
|
||||||
|
- Usually well-tested
|
||||||
|
**Cons**:
|
||||||
|
- Less control over build process
|
||||||
|
- May include unnecessary dependencies
|
||||||
|
- Limited customization
|
||||||
|

|
### 2. Multi-Stage Build Pattern
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases**: When application needs compilation or build process
|
||||||
|
**Template**:
|
||||||
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
|
# Build stage
|
||||||
|
FROM base:builder AS build
|
||||||
|
# Install build dependencies
|
||||||
|
COPY . .
|
||||||
|
RUN build-command
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Production stage
|
||||||
|
FROM base:runtime
|
||||||
|
COPY --from=build /app/dist /app
|
||||||
|
CMD ["start-app"]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Examples**: Webhook (Go), Puter (Node.js)
|
||||||
|
**Pros**:
|
||||||
|
- Smaller final image
|
||||||
|
- More control over build
|
||||||
|
- Can exclude build tools
|
||||||
|
**Cons**:
|
||||||
|
- Longer build times
|
||||||
|
- More complex Dockerfile
|
||||||
|
- Need to understand build process
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Python Build Pattern
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases**: Python applications with dependencies
|
||||||
|
**Template**:
|
||||||
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
|
FROM python:3-slim
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Install system dependencies
|
||||||
|
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y graphviz && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
WORKDIR /app
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Copy requirements and source
|
||||||
|
COPY requirements.txt .
|
||||||
|
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
COPY . .
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CMD ["python", "app.py"]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Examples**: WireViz Web
|
||||||
|
**Pros**:
|
||||||
|
- Standard Python environment
|
||||||
|
- Easy dependency management
|
||||||
|
- Well-supported by Cloudron
|
||||||
|
**Cons**:
|
||||||
|
- System dependencies may vary
|
||||||
|
- pip install can be slow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

### 4. Django Application Pattern
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases**: Django-based web applications
|
||||||
|
**Template**:
|
||||||
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
|
FROM django-image:version
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
COPY start.sh /app/start.sh
|
||||||
|
RUN chmod +x /app/start.sh
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CMD ["/app/start.sh"]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**start.sh Template**:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Wait for PostgreSQL
|
||||||
|
until psql -h "$DB_HOST" -U "$DB_USER" -d "$DB_NAME" -c '\q'; do
|
||||||
|
echo "PostgreSQL is unavailable - sleeping"
|
||||||
|
sleep 2
|
||||||
|
done
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Run migrations
|
||||||
|
python manage.py migrate --noinput
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Collect static files
|
||||||
|
python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Start application
|
||||||
|
gunicorn config.wsgi:application
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Examples**: Healthchecks, Review Board
|
||||||
|
**Key Points**:
|
||||||
|
- Wait for database before migrations
|
||||||
|
- Run collectstatic
|
||||||
|
- Use gunicorn (or uwsgi) for production
|
||||||
|
- Use Cloudron PostgreSQL addon
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 5. Database Integration Pattern
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases**: Applications requiring database
|
||||||
|
**Cloudron Addon**: PostgreSQL or MySQL
|
||||||
|
**Environment Variables**:
|
||||||
|
- CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_HOST
|
||||||
|
- CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PORT
|
||||||
|
- CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE
|
||||||
|
- CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME
|
||||||
|
- CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Pattern**:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# In start.sh
|
||||||
|
DB_HOST=${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_HOST:-127.0.0.1}
|
||||||
|
DB_PORT=${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PORT:-5432}
|
||||||
|
DB_NAME=${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE:-app}
|
||||||
|
DB_USER=${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME:-app}
|
||||||
|
DB_PASSWORD=${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Wait for database
|
||||||
|
until psql -h "$DB_HOST" -p "$DB_PORT" -U "$DB_USER" -d "$DB_NAME" -c '\q'; do
|
||||||
|
sleep 2
|
||||||
|
done
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 6. Multiple Ports Pattern
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases**: Applications exposing multiple services
|
||||||
|
**CloudronManifest.json**:
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"tcpPorts": {
|
||||||
|
"HTTP_PORT": {
|
||||||
|
"description": "HTTP proxy port",
|
||||||
|
"defaultValue": 8080
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
"ADMIN_PORT": {
|
||||||
|
"description": "Admin API port",
|
||||||
|
"defaultValue": 8081
|
||||||
|
},
|
||||||
|
"HTTPS_PORT": {
|
||||||
|
"description": "HTTPS proxy port",
|
||||||
|
"defaultValue": 8443
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Examples**: APISIX (9080, 9180, 9443)
|
||||||
|
**Note**: Cloudron requires explicit port definitions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 7. Health Check Pattern
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases**: All applications should have health checks
|
||||||
|
**Dockerfile**:
|
||||||
|
```dockerfile
|
||||||
|
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
|
||||||
|
CMD curl -f http://localhost:PORT/ || exit 1
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**CloudronManifest.json**:
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"healthCheckPath": "/health/"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
## Common Challenges & Solutions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Challenge 1: Permission Denied with chmod in Docker RUN
|
||||||
|
**Error**: `chmod: changing permissions of '/script.sh': Operation not permitted`
|
||||||
|
**Solution**: Make script executable on host before COPY
|
||||||
|
**Implementation**:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
chmod +x start.sh # On host
|
||||||
|
# In Dockerfile
|
||||||
|
COPY start.sh /app/start.sh
|
||||||
|
# No RUN chmod needed
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Challenge 2: apk/apt-get Not Found in Base Image
|
||||||
|
**Error**: `/bin/bash: apk: command not found` or `/bin/sh: apt-get not found`
|
||||||
|
**Cause**: Base image doesn't have Alpine or Debian package manager
|
||||||
|
**Solution**: Use base image's built-in packages or install in custom base
|
||||||
|
**Examples**:
|
||||||
|
- Cloudron base: Uses Debian packages
|
||||||
|
- Alpine images: Use apk
|
||||||
|
- Official images: Usually include necessary packages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Challenge 3: npm ci Failed
|
||||||
|
**Error**: `npm error [--include <prod|dev|optional> ...]`
|
||||||
|
**Cause**: npm version mismatch or workspace configuration
|
||||||
|
**Solution**:
|
||||||
|
- Use `npm install` instead of `npm ci` for Cloudron builds
|
||||||
|
- Use `--no-optional` flag to reduce complexity
|
||||||
|
- Use `--production=false` flag for development builds
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Challenge 4: Large Image Sizes
|
||||||
|
**Causes**:
|
||||||
|
- Including unnecessary dependencies
|
||||||
|
- Not using multi-stage builds
|
||||||
|
- Copying build artifacts (node_modules) to production image
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Solutions**:
|
||||||
|
- Use multi-stage builds
|
||||||
|
- Copy only necessary artifacts
|
||||||
|
- Use .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files
|
||||||
|
- Prefer official images (already optimized)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Challenge 5: .dockerignore Interference
|
||||||
|
**Problem**: Repository's .dockerignore interferes with Cloudron package .dockerignore
|
||||||
|
**Solution**: Create custom .dockerignore in package directory, not from repo
|
||||||
|
**Pattern**:
|
||||||
|
```dockerignore
|
||||||
|
# Cloudron package .dockerignore
|
||||||
|
# Only ignore Cloudron-specific files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.git
|
||||||
|
.gitignore
|
||||||
|
README.md
|
||||||
|
CHANGELOG.md
|
||||||
|
Dockerfile
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Cloudron-Specific Considerations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Cloudron Base Image
|
||||||
|
- `FROM cloudron/base:3.2.0`
|
||||||
|
- Based on Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||||
|
- Includes common utilities
|
||||||
|
- Use official images when possible (more tested, less maintenance)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Addons
|
||||||
|
- **localstorage**: Persistent file storage at `/app/data`
|
||||||
|
- **postgresql**: PostgreSQL database (automatic environment variables)
|
||||||
|
- **mysql**: MySQL database (automatic environment variables)
|
||||||
|
- **etcd**: etcd key-value store (automatic environment variables)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Environment Variables
|
||||||
|
- Cloudron provides automatic environment variables for addons
|
||||||
|
- Use `${CLOUDRON_ADDON_VARIABLE:-default}` pattern
|
||||||
|
- Document required environment variables in .env.example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 4. CloudronManifest.json
|
||||||
|
- Required fields: version, manifestVersion, type, id, title, description
|
||||||
|
- Optional but recommended: website, author, contactEmail, tagline
|
||||||
|
- Ports: Define in tcpPorts or httpPort
|
||||||
|
- Health check: healthCheckPath
|
||||||
|
- Addons: Add in addons section
|
||||||
|
- Memory: memoryLimit (in MB)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 5. File Storage
|
||||||
|
- Use `/app/data` for persistent storage
|
||||||
|
- Cloudron manages this directory
|
||||||
|
- Backup and restore handled automatically
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 6. Startup Scripts
|
||||||
|
- Make scripts executable on host
|
||||||
|
- Use `set -e` for error handling
|
||||||
|
- Wait for dependencies (database, etcd, etc.)
|
||||||
|
- Run migrations/setup commands before starting application
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
