Install Web Apps

[4Syno]

I’m using docker cli for my opencloud instance
From your documentation should it be simple to install them:

-e OC_DATA_DIR=${OC_DATA_DIR:-/web/assets/apps}

Should they not appear here?

I also don't get this working

You're not supposed to set OC_DATA_DIR to /web/assets/apps, you just need to make sure that /web/assets/apps is inside your OC_DATA_DIR. Hence you need to place your apps in: $OC_DATA_DIR/web/assets/apps.

If this still doesn't work, try setting WEB_ASSET_APPS_PATH to a path of your choice and place your apps there.

Should they not appear here?

Only apps with customizable settings are listed there. The progress-bars app currently is the only one providing a setting.

Okay, when I put the apps in /web/assets/apps/, it works.

The documentation is really bad though, because it only tells me to put them in config/opencloud/apps and to create the directory web/assets/apps in the OC data directory.

@Svanvith See ^. I guess the confusion comes from the fact that this section of the docs is tailored to our compose setup?

In general, apps get loaded from $OC_DATA_DIR/web/assets/apps per default. Can we make that more clear somehow in the "Extract and copy" paragraph?

[Blacks-Army]

Tbh it is also my bad because I have a custom setup and forgot to add the volume for the apps to mount to the directory config/opencloud/apps.

But still very confusing 😅

Is on the list to be more clear ;)
