Silex website builder

Contribute Room
1

Hello,
I just came across https://www.silex.me/
It’s a free website builder to selfhost.
Are there plans to add this to the app list in yuno?
If not, would it break things in yunohost if I installed this from the commandline?
Tips regarding self installing bypassing yunohost are very welcome as there are a few other opensource packages that I’m interested in.

thanks,
Christian
(happy Easter to all)

Chatgpt makes it look simple.
Anyone who wants to check below steps and let me know if for example installing node.js will not break things in yunohost?

:hammer_and_wrench: Steps to Install Silex on YunoHost

  1. Install Node.js on Your YunoHost ServerSince YunoHost doesn’t include Node.js by default, you’ll need to install it manually. You can do this by connecting to your server via SSH and running the appropriate installation commands for your system.
  2. Clone the Silex RepositoryOnce Node.js is installed, clone the Silex repository to your server:

bash

KopiërenBewerken

git clone https://github.com/silexlabs/Silex.git
  1. Install DependenciesNavigate to the Silex directory and install the necessary dependencies:

bash

KopiërenBewerken

cd Silex
npm install
  1. Start SilexYou can now start Silex:

bash

KopiërenBewerken

npm start

By default, Silex will run on port 6805. You can access it by navigating to http://your-server-ip:6805 in your web browser.

Hello chriz,

YunoHost has an application wishlist and a packaging documentation. Feel free to contribute and package the app.

(Personal vendatta against LLMs:)
ChatGPT makes everything look so simple, doesn’t it? You should go all the way in and ask it to package the app for you, with the challenge of not asking for actual human help. :smiling_face_with_horns:

Or even better, use our own low tech “AI” app to package the app https://appgenerator.yunohost.org/ :sweat_smile:

My knowledge is limited and I’m rather new using linux but I’ll study the packager and if I feel I can pull it off without breaking anything and really understanding all steps involved, I would certainly be willing to contribute.

Regarding chatgpt
It’s helping me, a yet not so experienced selfhoster when questions on this forum are not answered (because people do have better things to do, or perhaps a bit annoyed with beginner questions, or for any other legit reason like having no spare time to assist, I understand)
And yes, it’s limited and I need to be carefull when it proposes steps to install silex which is why I double check with the humans here :slight_smile:
