Help for distributing MongoExpress application

Contribute Room Apps packaging
1

Dear team,
I’ve written a first iteration of a yunohost packager for MongoExpress.
The source of the package is in github:
MongoExpress for yunohost

It’s working fine on my ynh-dev local environment, and now I wonder what to do next ?

I would like to test it in my real server before trying to make it distributable.

I tried to use the admin gui to install it as custom app, or through the command line, and I couldn’t figure out how to make it work.
If I try
yunohost app install https://github.com/gcollin/mongo-express_ynh.git
or
yunohost app install https://github.com/gcollin/mongo-express_ynh
I get the following error:
Error: Could not fetch source files, is the URL correct?

If I try the github pages:
yunohost app install https://gcollin.github.io/mongo-express_ynh
Then I get
Error: https://gcollin.github.io/mongo-express_ynh is not a valid app url: app url are expected to look like https://domain.tld/path/to/repo_ynh

I’m quite new to this all app packaging and distribution, and I couldn’t solve this by looking at the doc, a little help would be appreciated !

Thanks,

Hmm ok, using https://github.com/gcollin/mongo-express_ynh should definitely work … Can you confirm that you can manually git clone the repo from inside the ynh-dev server ?

Thanks for the reply, I confirm I can use the git clone from ynh_dev.
I even did a git clone of the repo inside my real server, and a
sudo yunohost app install mongo-express_ynh

worked like a charm :slight_smile:

When I go to https://github.com/gcollin/mongo-express_ynh on my browser, it redirects me to the GitHub pages https://gcollin.github.io/mongo-express_ynh.

It’s the first time I see a repo use that feature. Could it be that YunoHost does not handle the redirection?

@gcollin can you try disabling temporarily the Pages feature and try again?
