All Apps are continually updated and new Apps are added over time. I would really appreciate feedback and improvements. :wink:

Are any of you able to help me put together the repository for Sparrow, Signal, SimpleX, etc for the official app store?

@denny @lurtz @ddavidel @Reddexx @smolgrrr

Sure, if it’s about the official app store, it wouldn’t be a problem for me

Would it be possible to also provide suggestions for deploying Containers?

Yea, it would be for the official app store so that others can benefit from it. I see StartOS has some of these so trying to keep Umbrel App store competitive.

I’ve tried to package some up in dockers and stuff but to be honest I’m not super technical or a coder by nature.

I have a few questions:

  1. how can we put the apps in the Official Store?
  2. are there differences between the Community App Store or is it the same?
  3. at umbrel we need any documentation that we can use for the Official Appstore for a smooth process, would this be possible?

To submit an app to the Umbrel App Store, developers must fork the Umbrel Apps repository. Each app should be placed in a dedicated directory, and the repository contains templates for configuration files like umbrel-app.yml and Docker-related files. Once the app is ready, it must pass automated tests, and then a pull request can be submitted for review and inclusion in the official app store.

Yes, the community app store has to be accessed by entering the specific link and connected and are not on the official app store that ALL users see unless they enter in the community link.

I have a few more questions:

  1. if I have to use https protocols with the containers, is there also a way to customize the linking?

  2. wouldn’t it make more sense to filter apps by architecture?
    (Example: x64 Umbrel systems can only see x64 categories?)
    There are applications that cannot be provided as ARM architecture

Puter OS working not correctly, the url must change in umbrel.local in the config :wink:

Thanks for the tip! Can you tell me the line that needs to be changed? Unfortunately, Puter’s image is catastrophic… I’ve already mentioned it several times on GitHub…

I think you may be able to use a reverse proxy but not 100% sure.

Yea, I think that could be doable but I think the Umbrel app store might auto detect what architecture you’re running and will be able to tell which apps can be installed but I’d defer to @smolgrrr and others.

If you want https to expose it to internet, then use Nginx Proxy Manager, if you want to secure them in your local network, then I have created an app for that

Umbrel apps needs to support both x86-64 and ARM64. For their official app store, They enforce that manually and by using the linter during the app submission. But beyond that, I don’t think the system checks for the dual architecture support.
