Brcly's Community App Store - Gaming Edition šŸŽ®

General Discussions

Hey guys,

Iā€™ve implemented a couple of docker images to my Umbrel & in-turn have created a community app store to coincide with them.

Though Iā€™m not new to self-hosting & coding / programming in general, Iā€™m new to messing about with Docker, JS, any web-based coding & in-turn Umbrel in this way. My implementations of the apps work, but thereā€™s of course improvements that can be made.

Find it here:

My biggest hurdle is currently Crafty, as itā€™s forces SSL requirements to access so simply clicking the ā€œCraftyā€ app on Umbrelā€™s homepage doesnā€™t currently work & neither does using Umbrelā€™s App Proxy system (if anyone knows how to fix this, then please, Iā€™m welcome to advice).
Currently you have to instead manually direct ā€œhttp://umbrel.local:8543ā€ to ā€œhttpS://ā€ it will then function fine. Default credentials to login for the first time are located at

brcly-crafty/data/app/config/default-creds.txt

which can be accessed through Umbrelā€™s 1.4+ File system, or manually via SSH/Terminal.

I did attempt to set default credentials for Crafty so less is required for installation, which did initially look like it worked and I could login, but would eventually cause some permission errors and other sorts as Crafty wouldnā€™t run some first-time setup scripts as it detected a ā€œprevious configā€. I might look at this again at some point, potentially could be fixed with a pre-start script or something, but not right now.

Currently the only apps available are:

  • Crafty
  • Playit.gg

Both Iā€™ve tested thoroughly and I use without issue.

Depending on how things go, I could potentially switch Crafty with a different server management system, which could potentially render the SSL issue obsolete, itā€™s just currently, for Minercraft (which is all Iā€™ve been testing with) IMO Crafty is currently the :goat:

Iā€™ll update the store descriptions & images Soonā„¢

PLEASE NOTE FOR PI UMBREL USERS
The Raspberry Pi CAN run a Minecraft Server, but to save you time setting one up, donā€™t bother. The lag just isnā€™t worth it & any more than 1 person can start causing issues & crashes.

Not everyone will find use with these apps, but the Umbrel Home (and other N100ish type Mini PCā€™s) is a fairly capable little system, able to host a server & run mods for multiple users (probably like 10-20?) and these apps give hosters the option to self-host instead.

Really good project brother, Iā€™ve created a server in a couple of minutes, thank you.

Thanks for creating these Community-Apps! I really enjoy my Minecraft Servers on my UmbrelOS.

But is there any chance that you could update the Container frequently?
