Hey guys,
I’ve implemented a couple of docker images to my Umbrel & in-turn have created a community app store to coincide with them.
Though I’m not new to self-hosting & coding / programming in general, I’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 there’s of course improvements that can be made.
Find it here:
My biggest hurdle is currently Crafty, as it’s forces SSL requirements to access so simply clicking the “Crafty” app on Umbrel’s homepage doesn’t currently work & neither does using Umbrel’s App Proxy system (if anyone knows how to fix this, then please, I’m welcome to advice).
Currently you have to instead manually direct “http://umbrel.local:8543” to “httpS://” 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 Umbrel’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 wouldn’t run some first-time setup scripts as it detected a “previous config”. 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 I’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, it’s just currently, for Minercraft (which is all I’ve been testing with) IMO Crafty is currently the 
I’ll update the store descriptions & images Soon™
PLEASE NOTE FOR PI UMBREL USERS
The Raspberry Pi CAN run a Minecraft Server, but to save you time setting one up, don’t bother. The lag just isn’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 PC’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.
